LOUISVILLE, Ky. A former consultant to Adidas says in a sworn statement that the company provided airfare and other benefits to college players, including former Duke basketball star Zion Williamson.
In a deposition in a lawsuit filed by disqualified University of Louisville recruit Brian Bowen Jr., Dan Cutler said an Adidas representative provided four airline tickets for Williamson’s family before he enrolled at Duke.
In a September 2015 text message to an AAU coach, Cutler also said he had arranged to put up Williamson’s family in a hotel, adding, We officially aren’t putting any parents up, so let’s make sure we all keep that private, please.
