Gary Parrish is reporting that former Kentucky player, and current Arkansas headcoach has committed NCAA recruiting violations by having off campus contact with two players from the class of 2012 in December of 2010. The two players were, Kentucky target Archie Goodwin and teammate Trey Smith both in class of 2012. What really hurts is that Pelphrey even had pictures taken with the recruits, and both players validated the picture.
The NCAA ruels state, you cannot have off campus contact with a recruit, relatives of recruit, or legal guardian before July 1st following the completion of his/her junior year of high school. Both players are still juniors.
Pelphrey has been rumored to be on the hot seat all this season because of lack of production on the court. This incident certainly doesn't help his situation any. I hate to hear this about John, he is a good person and one of my favorite former Cats.
