Shupert Accused of Major Recruiting Violations

What do all of these men have in common?

None of them give a shit about integrity while recruiting basketball players. You know why? Because they get the best players that way, it's up to you to catch them.

After a disappointing start to the 2009 Aegon Competitive league 6 Ft Over GM Jeff Reiners handed over recruiting duties to Aaron Shupert(pictured above with other violaters) and gave one order, “Find me some basketball players.”

Shupert responded by bringing in some questionable characters who helped 6 Ft Over close the season strong. The new recruits were ineligible of course and their presence on 6 Ft Over was a blatant violation of league rules. The new recruiting program even led to sponsorship and a team full of athletes to compete in the less restrictive YMCA league.

With the spring Aegon league rapidly approaching a new roster is taking shape. Shupert’s shady recruiting tactics have been of some concern to 6 Ft Over brass. It came to a head this morning when Shupert proposed offering a scholarship to a 6’7 270lb non-aegon employee. 6 Ft Over likes to win but not in the spirit of Tim Floyd or John Calipari. League officials are rumored to be looking into the 6 Ft Over program in search of violations. If any are found, 6 Ft Over would be in danger of forfeiting wins and even it's sole league championship.

No need to worry though. News is rapidly spreading around Aegon this morning that 6 Ft Over has tendered a one year offer to 1st Team All-Aegoner Josh Rekenwaldt of defending champion “Never Back Down.”

Strangely “Never Back Down” has disbanded following their championship and has decided not to defend it. This has left their leader and captain in search of a home. Luckily 6 Ft Over has a spot for any Aegon employee that can put the ball in the hole.

Fans of 6 Ft Over may recall that Josh lead a rec league team last season that ended the team’s record 16 game winning streak. Josh is vocal on the court, plays tough D and gets into foul disputes with opponents. Exactly the kind of player you want to play with instead of against.
