John Blake recruiting violations? (Santa Prong finally here?)

Full link.

Cohen told The Orlando Sentinel that Florida officials questioned him about Floyd’s recruitment during his senior year at George Washington High in Philadelphia. Cohen said he thinks Floyd’s name came up in the ongoing NCAA investigation at North Carolina involving former assistant coach John Blake.

Blake resigned amid an ongoing NCAA investigation looking into possible improper contact with agents and academic misconduct.

“As far as I know, the recruiting process went fine,” Cohen told The Sentinel. “From what I understand, it had nothing to do with the University of Florida. His name came up when he … was recruited by North Carolina heavily.”

Blake was in charge of Floyd’s recruitment at North Carolina.

Cohen also told The Palm Beach Post that the NCAA questioned Floyd’s eligibility during the early part of this year, but didn’t make it clear what exactly was in question.

“I don’t know what the allegations are,” Cohen told The Post. “I assume it has to do with when he was in high school, with recruitment, but I really don’t know. The NCAA wouldn’t tell me what any of
it was about.”
