Going to be harder on the bag schools who’s going to have to keep throwing bags yearly or some of the kids will bounce I imagine

Exactly... Spending twice as much on the same dude when you can just recruit them? This is the perfect equalizer for schools like Miami.

It might just be recency bias with MAR and Vernon Carey, Jr. But these are the ones off the top of my head since I started following recruiting.

Maurice Crum, Jr., Notre Dame
H.B. Blades, Pitt
Ali Highsmith, LSU
Zach Latimer, Oklahoma
Evan Neal, Baga
Matt Patchan, UiF

Why the **** would Vernon Carey come to Miami for basketball?

No its it's not. This is as short term as short can be. You think transfers aren't influenced by money too... lmao it's simply another time to sell your soul if that's your goal.

Im not sure why people get mad at highschoolers, they get to go where they choose and rightfully so. The problem with bogle is he's bag chasing to hard and the dollar teams know it, so they stay quiet on recruits like him cause he doesnt understand the game, but guys like darius and emerson, are easier to work with cause they quiet.

Alot of people have no clue how much money has been going to players for the longest of time. Some players know how much another player got and are trying to get the same thing. The Truth is, bogle should just go to UM, ball out for 3yrs and than get that bread, cause alot of these security & exchange commission schools are just going to wait til the last minute for him, cause the way he's going about his recruitment seems more like a sting operation than a normal recruitment.

When a covered recruit spurned us at the last minute back about '86, our AD Sam Jankovich smartly said at the time that the IRS should investigate the unreported income, which was substantial. The recruit we lost was the son of a former NFL star who was known at the time for having serious financial problems.

Sam was right. But I doubt that the IRS has ever had an interest into looking into this ongoing big-scale scam which defrauds the government and hurts all of us because our government is being deprived illegally of tax revenue. We all own the government supposedly, and depriving it of the revenue it's due hurts all of us.

I started out my legal career in an area of tax, and actually worked for the IRS for a while. I was not a company man, though. Still I don't like all this cheating that goes on with unreported income. I understand these are often kids from modest-to-poor circumstances, but all of this paying off recruits just poisons the system.

Been saying this for years and no one seems to want to hear it. I see two problems with the investigation though:

1) It's not a national conspiracy. The individual schools are operating in their own interests in a bubble, and not cooperating with each other. So there would have to be individual investigations into each school, which would require far more resources for a significantly lower payout.

2) The recruits that take the bags are the easy targets. The boosters have systems and practices and in all likelihood politicians in place, and very, very good lawyers. The kids have nothing but a stack of cash that they "got on a recruiting trip from some guy" who's name they don't know. And probably no lawyers. And of course it's not worth the IRS' time to go after each recruit.

Miami hasn't been alive for MAR since last summer when we ****ed him off by being the last school to listen to him when he said he wanted to play offense in 10 consecutive interviews yet we were still preaching Safety. It was his 1st time giving us the time of day in 6 months. 0% is being generous. It should have said 0% for Bogle too.

He should still play safety at whichever school he goes to.
