The defense attorney for Jim Gatto said Gatto paid $40,000 to the family of Dennis Smith Jr. while the current Dallas Maverick was playing at N.C. State. Gatto was also involved in the discussions surrounding the recruitment of Nassir Little, who Adidas considered paying to attend Miami after the player was “offered” $150,000 by Arizona. Little has since enrolled at UNC.
