The 2008 NCAA runner up Memphis Tigers may have committed an NCAA recruiting violation, the university reported on Thursday. The school has reported that a booster, who is also a president of a FedEx in Memphis, contacted another FedEx employee, who is the mother of a top high school player that Memphis is recruiting. The recruit, Abdul Gaddy, a five star from Tacoma, Washington, said that the booster told his mother, "I heard about your son, how good he is." The Athletic Director at Memphis R.C. Johnson said that he was not aware of the phone call until he was contacted today to comment about the incident. The phone call will probably be considered a secondary violation and Memphis will not be punished.As for Gaddy, he is easily a top fifteen player in the class of 2009, and is a top three point guard. About two months ago Gaddy took back his solid verbal commitment to Arizona, but the U of A is still considered the favorite for Gaddy's college destination.
