Biancardi timeline



By the Dayton Daily News

Tuesday, March 20, 2007

April 7, 1997: Ohio State hires Jim O'Brien as men's basketball coach to replace Randy Ayers. Paul Biancardi, who was an assistant coach under O'Brien at Boston College, joins him in Columbus.
May 3, 1998: Slobodan "Boban" Savovic begins his official visit to OSU. Later, a litany of accusations arose involving Savovic and Biancardi, including improper financial and academic help. Savovic played four years at Ohio State, from 1998-2002.

Former OSU assistant and Wright State head coach Paul Biancardi has been officially brought on at St. Louis University to work under head coach Rick Majerus. This has been rumored for a while but is now complete as Biancardi has served his penance with the NCAA in terms on being banned from recruiting. That punishment, of course, dates back to the Ohio State sanctions and Biancardi's involvement with former Buckeye Boban Savovic.

Majerus, by the way, has had an eye for doing this for months. Here is the story Tom Archdeacon of the Dayton Daily news wrote (which is very good):

Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy:(

So I just got ESPNU today and I'm watching some AAU special....and I see Paul Biancardi as the ESPNU national director of recruiting. So they go get a recruiting cheater to fill that role.
he is also the recruiting evaluator along with Reggie Rankin (the former Ohio University player) for ESPN. Does the recruiting writeups on that website.
