Here is an interesting article about a kid named Jamine "Greedy" Peterson. He played at Providence under former Drake coach Keno Davis (though he was recruited to Providence by former coach Tim Welsh). As a sophomore in 2009-2010 he started every game for the Friars, and had a great season averaging 19.6 ppg and 10.2 rpg. But he abruptly left school after his sophomore season, and went to Europe to play professionally. He lasted only 3 months there, then returned to the US and played the last half of last season in the NBA D-League. He is now preparing for the NBA draft, and is projected as a possible late 2nd round draft pick.
Now there are stories emerging about what happened at Providence, and why he left. Apparently he was forced to leave because of his involvement in a sleazy incident involving a recruit he was hosting, which came on the heels of several legal incidents involving other Providence players.
Peterson said that the Providence coaches were aware that the recruit, who was being recruited by Providence, would be hanging out on campus that night. Peterson said the coaches told him and the other players to "have a good time" with the recruit.
Peterson said that on his recruiting visit to Providence in high school he was introduced to a female who showed him a "good time."
Peterson understood that as tradition. He had seen it done throughout his time at Providence and he had introduced plenty of recruits to females. He thought he was just doing his part to help lure in the recruits. He never thought twice about it. He never thought he was doing anything wrong.
When recruits came to campus, he said that's what the Providence players did. They would find a willing female to show the recruits a "good time."
Peterson claims that the Providence coaches "would tell us to have a good time but be careful and stay out of trouble. They knew we were going to show him some love with a female."
That's exactly what Peterson did. He called a female who the Providence players called numerous times to perform oral sex on recruits. According to Peterson, "She always says that's her hobby. That's what she likes to do. She wants to be a porn star."
How many recruits does Peterson recall her performing oral sex on? "Let's just say she's in double figures."
The incident took place in Peterson's living room. Peterson lived with two teammates, but according to Peterson neither of them were there that night. One of his teammates, who Peterson chose to remain anonymous, was present. That player was a senior at the time.
"I was doing what they did to me when I was in the recruiting process," said Peterson. "Every time a recruit visits, the coaches would ask us if we can take them out and show them a good time."
Now, another bizarrre twist to this story-
The Providence Journal newspaper caught wind of this article, and checked into it. However, despite the fact that the writer of this article, Ryan Feldman of HoopsReport.com, claims to have interviewed Peterson on multiple occasions, Peterson now denies that he ever talked to him.
Jamine Peterson is preparing for the June NBA draft, and he is a marginal 2nd round draft possibility. It seems like a possible explanation for this disparity might be the fact that Peterson believes that news about this incident may now hurt his draft status with some teams.
