MLN has learned that Dayshawn signed a prior representation agreement with Pro League Sports Marketing (PLSM), another Wier company, in July.
Weir claims that PLSM has a separate, signed agreement to respresent Wright “according to industry acceptable standards to accommodate both parties.”
Dayshawn never exited his first representation contract with PLSM, potentially invalidating his deal with Yam in August, opening a whole second can of worms.
Where’s Waldo?
To quote Ricky Ricardo, Wright has some serious ‘splaining to do. Yet, like all things Dayshawn, even his whereabouts are a bit of a mystery. Yam claims that he is working out in Syracuse. Weir says that Wright and his mom “are both living in Buffalo right now.” In either event, he has been silent about his contract penmanship since the controversy erupted.
Hoops Du Jour
Dayshawn’s career is a hoops smorgasbord.
Wright played at Syracuse’s Fowler High before transferring for his senior year to the prep circuit at Oak Hill Academy in Mouth of Wilson, Va.
At Oak Hill he was part of a 2004 national championship team that went 38-0 and beat LeBron James and St. Vincent-St. Mary.
The 6-foot-6, 232-pound Wright is built like a tight end, but with exceptional ball-handling ability. He was ranked the 11th-best power forward in the nation by hoopmasters.com, and chose Syracuse over Arizona, Pittsburgh, Seton Hall and Georgia.
Unfortunately, it would become apparent quickly that while Dayshawn’s basketball career had the potential to go swimmingly, his grades were rapidly diving below C-level.
He was a reserve for Jim Boeheim’s Syracuse team in 2005, averaging just 1.3 points and 1.3 rebounds in 10 games. He was suspended for the NCAA tournament game by the school for undisclosed reasons that would quickly become clear as glass.
Dayshawn was declared academically ineligible for his sophomore season. Unable to raise his grades to the minimum standard, he withdrew from Syracuse and enrolled at NAIA Mountain State University in Beckley, West Virginia.
Wright was unable to gain academic eligibility there, and never played college basketball again.
“I talked to Dayshawn and to his mother,” Daleo recalls of a conversation
