      I think they’re over the salary cap.

      When the Arizona story originally broke I had a conversation with a head coach at the U, non basketball but knows many of the basketball coaches, and he said that Markennan was truly torn between coming to Utah and AZ, and that when AZ offered to pay him $40k to come that tipped the scales in their favor. So I have heard from a decent source that he was paid $40k. We’ll see if that comes out in this report. 

      This coach did not know if Akot had been paid. I asked him about that one as well.

        Will be interesting to see. I mean, I remember hearing he was on the verge of committing and then boom, he announced UA. It’s like Arizona swooped in and said commit to us now and we will sign this check. They didn’t want him to mull it over..it was within hours of his OV beginning
