Oregon men's basketball assistant coach Tony Stubblefield traded 20 calls and logged two hours of phone time with the same basketball middleman found guilty this month of conspiring to pay $100,000 to send a blue-chip prospect to the University of Louisville, phone records obtained by The Oregonian/OregonLive reveal.

The phone logs detail publicly for the first time the frequency of contact in May and June 2017 between Oregon's Stubblefield and Christian Dawkins, a broker for the family of five-star recruit Brian Bowen Jr. (See the full log of calls between Dawkins and Stubblefield at the bottom of this story)

The content of the calls is not known, and the volume is not evidence of wrongdoing. But the records raise new questions about Oregon's willingness to repeatedly engage with a talent hustler and the thoroughness of the university's internal investigation of its basketball program in the year since Dawkins was first arrested by the FBI.

A federal jury last week found Dawkins guilty of wire fraud and conspiracy to commit wire fraud. Dawkins played an instrumental role in a scheme, caught on federal wiretap, to pay big money to Bowen's father on behalf of shoe company Adidas, which sponsors Louisville.

The high-profile case by federal prosecutors exposed corruption within college basketball as defense attorneys leveled explosive allegations during trial in New York City this month about the prevalence of cheating beyond Adidas-sponsored schools, including two bombshells targeting Nike-backed Oregon.

An attorney for an Adidas executive claimed without evidence that Oregon offered an "astronomical" amount of money to land Bowen Jr. And an attorney for Dawkins pointedly asked Bowen Sr. if he received $3,000 from Oregon's Stubblefield. Bowen Sr. testified that he couldn't recall.

Phone records released by prosecutors at the conclusion of the trial now reveal just how influential Dawkins had become in Bowen Jr.'s recruitment, with scores of calls to some of the nation's most prestigious basketball programs. ESPN first reported the extent of Dawkins' cell phone records with those coaches and identified communication with Stubblefield, but it did not provide specifics.

The log of Dawkins' calls, obtained Tuesday by The Oregonian/OregonLive, shows frequent contact between Dawkins and a phone number associated with Stubblefield, Oregon's top recruiter.

Precisely what steps the university has taken to review Stubblefield's recruiting and communications with Dawkins remain unknown. The university has not provided documentation of its investigation or phone logs and text messages between Stubblefield and Dawkins despite public records requests filed by The Oregonian/OregonLive four weeks ago.

A phone call, text message and emailed questions sent to Stubblefield on Tuesday night went unanswered. The University of Oregon did not directly answer emailed questions Tuesday night but provided a written statement Wednesday morning.

"The University is not aware of any new credible information that would require any adjustment to its previous statements on the matter," said Jimmy Stanton, Oregon's senior associate athletic director for communications. "It is not surprising that during the time in which we were actively recruiting Brian Bowen, one of our coaches was in contact with the person who was on point with the family."

Federal prosecutors have not accused Oregon, Stubblefield or anyone else associated with the basketball program of wrongdoing.

The backdrop for Dawkins' communication with Oregon was Bowen Jr.'s indecision in spring 2017 about which basketball program to select. The coveted recruit had intended to pick a team by the end of April, but on May 5 basketball insiders reported that Bowen Jr. was considering several late-to-the-game programs, including Oregon.

Bowen Jr. took an unofficial visit to Eugene on May 8, according to reports from the time.

Dawkins' phone log correspondingly shows a flurry of calls involving Stubblefield's number.

The phone records show 20 calls in total from May 5 to June 1 between Dawkins and Stubblefield. Eleven of those calls occurred between May 18 and May 26, well after Bowen Jr. visited Oregon but before he had made a final decision.

Ten of the calls lasted at least five minutes, including calls on May 20, May 22, May 23, May 24 and May 25. The phone records show that Dawkins and Stubblefield exchanged two calls May 23 that went a combined 24 minutes.

Their longest single call ran 14 minutes, on May 30.

Bowen Jr. publicly announced his decision to attend Louisville on June 3.

The University of Oregon has not confirmed that the number listed so frequently in Dawkins' call records does belong to Stubblefield. But the number previously has been used by The Oregonian/OregonLive to contact Stubblefield and sources within basketball circles confirmed Tuesday night that the phone number is used by Stubblefield.

The University of Oregon this month said it twice reviewed the recruiting practices of its basketball program, first in September 2017 after federal officials announced their investigation into widespread corruption within college basketball, then in early October after allegations at the trial identified the Ducks' program.

In its last public statement, the University of Oregon on Oct. 4 said it found no evidence of illicit conduct. Head coach Dana Altman, who hired Stubblefield in 2010 from Cincinnati, also denied the allegations.

"Based on all of the information currently available," the university said, "we feel confident that coach Dana Altman and members of his staff uphold the highest standards of integrity in recruiting."
