He was from LA and the top recruit in the country yet chose Cal State LA over UCLA while UCLA was winning the Natty every year. LB State finished 2nd for him.
Can you imagine the top QB in the country from LA, choosing Cal State Long Beach over USC back in the day? Nope. Never. And USC never came close to winning like Wooden did.
Gilbert's interest in UCLA basketball players was reportedly of a sexual nature. He invited a few of them over to his house often and gave them clothes and pot. He has never denied giving some of them clothes but always said he never had interest in high school recruits. Raymond Lewis was the ultimate LA HS recruit.
Ever heard of Ed Ratliff...he chose LB St over every bigtime BB school in the country.......and Gilbert paid for abortions and even bought Lew Alcindor a custom bed....and as far as Lewis UCLA got outbid...Lewis got a brand new Corvette and $2000 a month to go to Cal St LA....
So I gues the multiple UCLBruins wera players who admitted to SI that they got bribes as well as the player biographies that discussed the Gilbert bribes with Wooden's knowledge were all false? I guess the LAT interviews were BS too?
In the end I guess you were saying that UCLA players sucked Gilbert'c cock and they lied. So most Bruins wont admit those things. UCLA's essential booster was fag?
The NCAA is not in the business of fabricating especially against SC. You're blaming Garrett for the actions of Tony Bland? Come on.
Dedeaux's baseball team won just as much as wooden/gilbert's team of paid for ringers.
And USC was a running back school in the day. You need to think before you type.
Sidney Wicks and Curtis Rowe had more clothes than Nordstom
