Report: Kentucky recruit Enes Kanter took cash, benefits from team in Turkey - ESPN
I don't know how reliable the source of this story is, his Turkish team's GM is the one saying he took money and he has a lot to gain if he's ruled ineligible. If he can't play in the NCAA this year, he also won't be able to play in the NBA since he's not old enough, he will probably play in Europe and his Turkish team will get a nice transfer fee. Kind of sounds like the GM is just mad at how Kanter left and wants to screw him over.
