Mike DeCourcy just released an article where he speaks to Enes’ father Mehmet and it confirms that the Cam Newton angle is definitely the angle Kentucky has taken with the new appeal. The quotes below are from an email Kanter’s Dad sent to DeCourcy in December.
[QUOTE]UK appealed that ruling and was waiting for a decision when the NCAA declared Auburn quarterback [URL=”http://www.sportingnews.com/ncaa-basketball/feed/2010-09/enes-kanter/story/ncaa-appeal-hearing-on-kanter-scheduled-for-thursday#”]Cam Newton[/URL] could continue his college football career because he was not aware of his father’s admitted scheme to attempt to sell his son’s commitment to Mississippi State. At that point, UK asked to have Kanter’s eligibility reconsidered, according to a source, because of similarities in the two cases.
“I been saying from beginning of the review there has never been any monetary exchange between Enes and Fenerbahce,” Mehmet Kanter said in an e-mail to Sporting News.
“Enes was 16 years old, never had any knowledge about any accounts and everything has been between me and Fenerbahce.”[/QUOTE]
