### In one of the most notable claims in last week's Yahoo story alleging more UM recruiting violations, Yahoo writer Charles Robinson quoted an unidentified former Canes staffer as saying Sean Allen arranged for Olivier Vernon and Anthony Chickillo to gain entrance to a strip club in Coral Gables Jan. 22, 2011 on Chickillo’s recruiting visit, and that Allen paid for drinks and entertainment that night.
Vernon on Friday vehemently denied that he went to a strip club with Chickillo and said he would be willing to say that under oath. He said Allen “wasn’t with us” and paid for nothing that night.
“It’s not true,” Vernon said, repeating it twice. "We took him out for bowling in Sunset Place. Al Golden and all the coaches stress not to take [recruits] to strip clubs.”
Yahoo cited phone records showing 12 calls between Vernon and Allen that night, but without proof of where they were or whether Allen paid for anything. The question is whether Robinson's anonymous "former UM staffer" has an ax to grind against the program.

nothing but good news. unfortunately there is so much **** splattered all over the place just the amount of allegations make us look guilty to the average jo. hopefully the ncaa will take that in to account.
 
Who the **** calls somebody 12 times in one night? I would cut that dude off for calling so god **** much. Annoying lil ******.
 
Hurtt/Stoutland doing whatever they can to shift the attention to Miami and away from them.

I'm really starting to believe this whole thing is a big "nothing to see here". We'll probably get hit with something, but nothing close to what outsiders are saying and secretly hoping for.
 
I'm pretty sure the source is another ball boy type staffer, not a former coach.

IM ONE AGREEING WITH vERNON/////
I remembering him hosting a recruit....EGO FERGUSON(LSIU)..and he had hm to Sparez bowling alley in davie....it was the second time i saw a player hosting guys at that alley.....
 
Thing is.........if you're with somebody supposedly the whole night, why is there a need to call each other 12 times?

Lots of holes in that story there Mr Robinson


Oh and I love that Mr Robinson gets away with using "Former UM staffer". Who is the editor over there? Really?

"Yahoo cited phone records showing 12 calls between Vernon and Allen that night"

It says between, it does not specify that allen was the one doing all the calling. Couple of missed calls back and forth, who knows, maybe Vernon was blowing Allen's phone up.

Either way they got nothin

I'm thinking one of the video guys that got canned when Golden cleaned house. That's what I heard at least.
 
It's rokulika. He was the official jock strap cleaner in Randy's tenure. But then got thrown out with his huffy bike when Golden took over.
