I don't think anyone here doubts that "tampering" is going on all the time. Someone representing School A calls an agent or parent or even the player himself from School B  to express interest? Like it or not (and I vote not), that no doubt happens every freakin' day.

It's the idea that a representative of School A calls his counterpart at School B to inquire about possibly poaching a player from School A that seems a little out there. To me, anyway.

It's completely out there.

Let's not rule out anyone on the Syracuse staff may be poking around for another team besides Syracuse for next year.

Let's also not rule out the concept/idea of  Shaka/MU hyping up one of their guys that they know will be moving on to allow said player to get better offers if/as he departs.

Not saying it's happening in this case, but I could see it happening with someone like Damarius if Shaka and player decide to move on.

It would be more difficult to pull off with Caedin

Al and Dean Smith were friends and if my memory is correct Dean referred a player, who I can't remember as well, to Al
and he ended up playing for Marquette.

On another note you are I correct and gladly admit, I don't know a lot.
