Really?
If you think that, you are either a troll or doesn't know **** about Miami and our booster situation.
We may have had guys like Nevin Shapiro offer "extra benefits" to players already on the team (like every program in the country), but even Nevin (who wanted us to get the death penalty) mentioned that he could never get into the huge bidding wars for top recruits with the big $EC programs, and that actually gives you a competitive advantage on the field.
Straight up cheating!
And since that little **** wanted us to go down, all he would have had to tell the NCAA was I bought this recruit, that one and this one for Miami, and we would have been done.
There is a reason that even though we are located in the most fertile recruiting location in the universe we have only signed one #1 class (Shannon's first class in 2008 that was extremely overrated) and the next highest rated class other than that was this year's class and our 2003 class coming off of 2 undefeated seasons back to back with a robbed NC in the Fiesta Bowl.
If we had bag men like you claim, don't you think we would have gotten in the top 3 classes a lot more down here?
The answer is YES.
We do not play the bag game to buy recruits, as we don't have the type of shadow booster system required, and we definitely wouldn't do it with Richt at the helm.
UGA boosters would have to try to buy recruits without Richt knowing (Sony Michel and a few more I'm sure), and would get very frustrated that Richt was so against it while most of his opponents and rivals were heavy into it.
Pretty obvious that they are now 100% full steam ahead in the bag game now (signing the best class in the history of the star system) that Kirby who learned from the best shadow booster system in college football history (Baga) is running the show in Athens.
Can't believe it didn't send up red flags to the NCAA as it should.
Watch, Tenne$$ee will sign a great class this cycle with a lot of guys nobody was expecting b/c Pruitt like Kirby learned how the best in the business do it, and will bring that knowledge to Knoxville.
Lets hope Bogle isn't part of it.
