On June 29, the grand jury sent Maryland a second subpoena, asking for any documents “relating to the eligibility and/or amateur status” of De Sousa, a five-star recruit who was strongly considering Maryland before ultimately deciding to attend Kansas last year.
De Sousa has already been linked to the federal investigation, as an indictment unsealed in April alleged a player whose recruitment timeline matched De Sousa’s only committed to Kansas after the player’s guardian told Adidas officials he needed money to pay back a shoe company that sponsored a rival school. Maryland is sponsored by Under Armour, one of Adidas’s chief rivals in the basketball market, along with Nike.
