Danny Nee had players from Houston Select

Danny Nee, the current head coach of the US Merchant Marines and the former head coach of Duquesne and Nebraska, was implicated by Gary Parrish and Jeff Goodman as an investor with David Salinas, the founder of the Houston Select AAu program.

Nee denied the report to an Omaha newspaper which drew the ire of Parrish, who, in turn, made Nee look foolish. You see, Nee had a testimonial on a brochure for Salinas' investment company saying:

I have been a client with J. David Financial Group since I was referred to them in 1995-96. After several financial planning sessions, I became very comfortable with their long-term visions and investment style. More importantly, I marvel at their track record in both up and down markets."
Yeah.

Win, Parrish.

Why is this interesting?

Because in 1997 and 1998, Nee landed (at least) two players -- Rondey Williams and Louis Truscott -- from the Houston Select program.

If Nee's investment was legitimate, why would he feel the need to lie about his involvement?

If his testimonials are on there brochure then how can he deny it, and if it is false why isn't he taking action to get it removed
