Abdul Gaddy has seen his name in headlines for years. The stories have trumpeted the highly-rated point guard’s ability on the basketball court as he helped Bellarmine Prep claim Narrows League titles and state tournament victories.

But this week, for the first time, the 6-foot-3 senior found his name attached to a possible recruiting scandal.

According to a report from FoxSports.com, a high-profile University of Memphis booster – FedEx Express president and CEO David Bronczek – phoned Gaddy’s mother, Oseye, who works for the shipping giant in Tacoma. FedEx is based in Memphis.

The NCAA prohibits boosters from contacting recruits and their relatives. Memphis reported the violation to the NCAA on Thursday and an investigation is underway. It is possible that Memphis will be forced to end its recruitment of Gaddy because of the infraction.

Neither Gaddy or his mother could be reached for comment.

Bronczek phoned Oseye Gaddy in July when she was at work. The call, which lasted about 10 minutes, came a few days after the family was contacted by Memphis coach John Calipari, who offered Gaddy a scholarship.

“(Bronczek) was just talking to me a little bit about Calipari and the program and then he was telling me about The FedEx Forum and how he goes to a lot of games and sits on the floor,” Oseye Gaddy told FoxSports.com. “How Calipari is a really nice guy.”

Memphis is one of a handful of schools recruiting Gaddy, who Scout.com rates the No. 2 point guard in the nation. He also has offers from Arizona, Washington, Gonzaga, Kansas, UCLA and others.

Gaddy gave a verbal commitment to Arizona last summer, but rescinded it in May. He was named the Gatorade State Player of the Year and The News Tribune’s All-Area Player of the Year.

Here's FoxSports.com's story.
