. As early as Spring 2015, the agents/brokers discussed Evans as someone who was known to be willing to take bribes to use his influence to direct players to sign with companies
. Phone contact was allegedly made in Dec. 2015 where terms were discussed on how much could be paid to Evans
. The parties met on March 3, 2016. "Player 3," who Evans claimed would be a first round pick next year, was discussed specifically as someone Evans could convince to sign.
. One of the defendants claimed he had previously paid Evans for his influence, $2,500 a month for a couple of months.
. On April 5th, one day after he was hired at Oklahoma St., the parties talked by phone. Evans claimed he had talked to "Player 3" and his family, and they seemed agreeable to a financial arrangement. They planned to meet to discuss specifics later.
. On April 19th, the parties met in person. $500 went to Evans. He talked of setting up a meeting with "Player 3".
. On August 3, Evans and the undercover investigator spoke by phone. The investigator asked Evans if they "got" "Player-3". Evans seems to have dodged the question to talk about Oklahoma St. and their players.
. On August 16th, Evans sent a text to the undercover guy with the name of "Player 3", and another player at South Carolina who was a sophomore. This established Player 3 as Thornwell and the other player as Dozier, likely.
