Former 5-star prospect Mitchell Robinson also listed.
Former LSU basketball player Tim Quarterman received a payment of $16,000 when he was a junior at the school, according to a Yahoo.com report that detailed large-scale payments made to dozens of current and former college basketball players.
The report also listed former LSU basketball player Jarell Martin as receiving a loan for $52,000, although it is not clear if he was still a student at the school at the time.
The report cited bank records belonging to former NBA agent Andy Miller obtained during the discovery period of a federal investigation that has thus far led to the arrests of four former college basketball assistant coaches. The report does not directly implicate LSU, former coach Johnny Jones or anybody on his staff.
Quarterman played for LSU from 2013-16 and left school after he averaged 11.2 points per game as a junior. The 6-foot-6 guard played 16 games as a rookie with the Portland Trail Blazers in the 2016-17 season. He currently plays in the NBA G League for the Agua Caliente Clippers.
The 6-10 Martin played at LSU from 2012-15. The Memphis Grizzlies selected him in the first round of the 2015 NBA Draft with the No. 25 overall pick. The loan to Martin is listed on a balance sheet that has a date of Dec. 31,2015, by which time he began his professional career.
The report also mentioned former five-star college prospect Mitchell Robinson out of Chalmette. He was listed in documents as having dinner with Christian Dawkins, a former assistant to Kennedy the agent.
The documents could create NCAA rules issues for at least 20 Division I basketball programs and more than 25 players, the report said. The amounts tied to players or family members range from meals to tens of thousands of dollars.
