Everyone Follow Kendrick Nunn on Twitter!

[GoMarquette32]

He gave us a shoutout and said he needs more followers.

[mr.MUskie]

Tampering?

[strotty]

Technically it's an NCAA violation to have any communication with a high school recruit. Following him is part of that. MU Athletics tweeted that a while back.

[GGGG]

You can follow, you just can't contact him through Twitter, Facebook, email, etc.

[groove]

cool

[strotty]

You can follow, you just can't contact him through Twitter, Facebook, email, etc.

You can't even follow, per the rules.

[Ari Gold]

FALSE

Sultan is correct. You can follow them you just can't reply to a tweet or direct message them.

[Jay Bee]

Following is fine; do not retweet or send a message to (DM or @____).

[National Champs]

If following him can create a Simeon pipeline I'll take the risk.

[hepennypacker5000]

Who do you mean when you say "you" can't reply or contact him? Current students, alumni, any MU fan?

[wojosdojo]

So if I tweet him and say go Marquette what happens? How is that crossing the line?

[Dawson Rental]

We should all tweet to him that he should go to DePaul, our alma mater.

[The Maestro]

If you want to follow him on Twitter, change your profile pic to something representing Marquette so he know who you root for.

[Benny B]

I wonder what would happen if my not-affiliated-with-Marquette son made repeated contact with Kendrick right after he donated $10 to the scholarship fund of every other team of interest.

[brewcity77]

Because you as a booster or alum are trying to influence where he goes to school. Whether it's approaching him at an AAU event, buying him a soda, taking him to a Marquette game, or tweeting/FB friending him, it's a violation. Unless you are a friend of the family, they don't allow it.

[4everwarriors]

Hell no Murray, that'll give it away. It's common knowledge, you couldn't have gotten into DePaul.

That doesnt make any sense to me.

[brewcity77]

That doesnt make any sense to me.

It doesn't have to make sense to us. It is what it is. We're just best off following those rules, because the NCAA would be happy to enforce them on Marquette if we as boosters broke them.

[mubb34]

You can follow, you just can't contact him through Twitter, Facebook, email, etc.

whoops....

[Jay Bee]

Any of you freaks going to a Simeon game or two this year?  I'm with it, holla at me

[Blackhat]

I follow no man.

[THEultimateWARRIOR]

And if we do talk to him on twitter? Who's going to come after me? the NCAA? highly doubt anything would happen its a social network you should be able to talk to whoever you want about whatever you want. Plain and simple.

[daly006]

Anybody know what kind of stats Aaron Durley is posting this season? Is he playing ? Heard he had eligibility issues due to moving and enrolling in a new school .

Then do it as a supporter of any other school recruiting him.


BTW, follow him if you want.

Just abide by the rules in my sig.

The NCAA has yet to issue any kind of enforcement on these kinds of issues.

If you'd like Marquette to be the one to set an NCAA enforcement precedent, then please, by all means, scream at every recruit to come to Marquette.

ok first of all if you actually took the time to look at his twitter and any other college basketball recruit in the whole country you will see its standard procedure of college basketball fan bases. Hence the fact Nunn has a lot of support on twitter fom the aggies. Sorry I wont say anything to him even though he wanted to see how strong mubb nation was.

In answer to your original question.... the NCAA is not going to come after you personally if you attempt or make contact with a recruit (unless it's quite egregious).  However, it is considered a minor infraction which could lead to any of the following:

1) Sanctions against MU (likely a warning or probation for one single incident, but multiple minor infractions in a given period could result in loss of scholarships or post-season bans).

2) The recruit being declared ineligible to attend the booster's institution (not sure if this is a NCAA penalty or school-determined in order to prevent #1 from coming to fruition).

3) Absolutely nothing.

If contact involves any "gifts" of cash, rides, use of cars or other property, housing for his parents, World of Warcraft subscription fees, etc. then you would be screwing with his amateur status which could result in:

1) Sitting out X games (X being a variable, not games against Xavier).

2) The recruit being declared ineligible to play in the NCAA.

3) Forfeiture by the school of any games he participated in.

4) Nothing at all.

5) An appointment as his agent when he goes pro.

Key word is "could."  People do it all the time.  Some schools - like Texas A&M - are more immune to sanctions than smaller schools like MU.  You might get caught, you might not.  There might be penalties, there might not.  But while you might be playing with your own money, you're rolling someone else's dice.

WOW. You must have a lot of time on your hands. Lets be real here the NCAA is not going to give sanctions because I said Nunn, Parker, and Taylor all on Marquette would be unstoppable. Its a social network grow up people its not like im begging him come to Marquette. He asked how strong MU nation was and i showed my support.

Ah, the youth of America.  While some want to be so popular they beg others for virtual signs of supports, while others think it could actually make a difference.

+1

I find humor in him telling others to grow up.

[Stretchdeltsig]

We would love to have Nunn, Parker and Taylor play for MU.  It would be a dream team!

Too little time, then too much time...

I find it funny that you guys would bash me for showing interest in our recruits...what is wrong with following someone on twitter? And on top of that he RE-TWEETED what I said so while you guys sit here and bash me Im actually doing something positive for MUBB. You guys are always so negative about everything. Its a pitty.

This isn't about positivity or negativity. This is about the university specifically asking boosters to behave in a certain manner.
