Not to derail the thread, but I find it odd that SEC teams like Auburn can have down seasons leading to uncertainty in their coaching staff and still not be effected in recruiting at all.
This is two fold. 1. The SEC propaganda that if you play in the SEC you are guaranteed success and that its a whole different league of football quality. 2. If you think places like Auburn, Ole Miss, and Bama are playing by the rules you are naive to say the least.
Separate issue I would love to know is how do these kids that come from notoriously bad areas find the money to go on all these unofficial visits? I see sofla kids going on like 10 visits in the summer. And no not all of them are on high school team funded trips. And even if there hs/7on7 coach is paying for the trips wouldn't that be considered against NCAA rules as extra benefits. I think that is the biggest difference from now and even 5-10 yrs ago. Back then these sofla guys basically took there 5 officials and visited mia, fsu, and fl and thats it. Now they somehow have the resources to visit USC, Oregon, ND, OSU, Bama, Clemson, etc all within one summer.
THATS WHERE GUYS LIKE CRISTOBAL CAME INTO PLAY WITH THE "FUNDING"...and the lame at FSU .."BREWSTER"...
These kids dont come out the pocket at all.......
Teams dont even have BOOSTER CLUB..yet their hitting the road on the sec circuit??
