A recent Facebook live video is surfacing about former Kentucky Basketball recruit Mohamed Bamba.

The Facebook live video is of Bamba’s brother Ibrahim Johnson. He flows on and on about how the former Kentucky Basketball recruit has accepted gifts and money from a man named Greer Love. You can watch the video here (NSFW).

Basically, Johnson goes on to say that Love, who happened to be Bamba’s former teacher, had given him money and TV’s among other things. Mohamed Bamba was widely considered as one of the top recruits of the 2017 recruiting class.

But, now that this video has surfaced, Bamba may be in some deep water. Apparently, this Love guy buys other players gifts as well.

Mohamed Bamba Drama

Kentucky Basketball fans wanted Mohamed Bamba really bad. The 2017 recruiting class would have definitely been taken over the edge if he would have committed. But, now that things like this have surfaced, it makes you wonder what would’ve happened if John Calipari and Kentucky would have been in this situation.

Bamba was a five star recruit who chose Texas over Duke, Kentucky and Michigan among nearly every other top school. Everyone wanted him. Mohamed Bamba was a McDonald’s All-American and was very good friends with many of the current Kentucky Basketball signees.

Luckily, the 2017 recruiting class still impressed many experts. That’s without Bamba even being a part of it. From the look of things so far, John Calipari should feel lucky that he doesn’t have to deal with this situation.

No one really knows what will come of this video and these accusations. It seems weird that a brother would put his own family on blast like that. Now, the video is surely to go viral and the NCAA will certainly take note of it.
