@LeeHiggins: Investigators ask @StJohnsU about forged #JuCo transcript that shows Keith Thomas earned As and Bs at WCC http://t.co/BCnEoSXU1Y via @lohud

"An assistant coach at a Northeast Division I program, who requested anonymity because discussing personal information on potential recruits could cost him his job, previously told The Journal News that he quickly took Thomas and former WCC player Giovanni McLean off his recruiting list after looking at their transcripts [...] "I knew the transcripts were fake the minute I saw them," the coach said, citing higher-than-expected GPAs, mixed-up semesters and heavy course loads. "I've done this a long time. I've seen thousands of transcripts."

On the one hand he wouldn't recruit the top rebounder in the country because there might have been some discrepancy with his transcript. OTO he's happy to violate state and federal privacy laws, but only anonymously, because if he got caught he might lose his job. Interesting code of ethics.

Stating obvious, but this will get messy;
