That kid is recruiting hard for LSU and just doing free trips. While emery is likely to go out of state

Thomas is said to be open. Not saying emery isn’t but you recruit the **** out of Thomas with the need we have on the OL.
 
These kids and their handlers have become incredibly adroit negotiators. How do you drive up the bags? Pretend to be open to a flip.

It’s like the dude who goes to a car dealer and falls in love with a car but is smart and steely enough to get up and walk out.

Kardell Thomas vs Nesta Silvera in practice would probably cause Greentree to explode.

Sorry if this is off topic, but what is to stop these kids that get bags from just telling the school (boosters) that gave money to pound sand and go where they want to go anyway? It's like robbing another criminal, who they going to tell? Am I missing something in all seriousness?

Often times it's not as simple as a one time "bag" payment. There's often other things involved like cushy jobs and new houses for family members. Luxury car leases that are paid off as long as you're putting in work on the field. Scholarships for family members who otherwise would not have earned one. These boosters are smart enough to know that they need to offer something that will keep the kid at that school for at least three years.

Reported to the IRS for receiving income and not paying taxes on it.

Basically, the absolute worst possible thing that could happen to you.

Not really an apples to apples comparison because the donor is not involved in a crime, only an NCAA violation.

Regardless, easy to call in with an anonymous tip.

Tax evasion is no joke. The IRS will put you in jail and freeze your bank account without due process and they CAN.

Yes,you are.The recruit can be as liable as the school.Perhaps the reason you don't here about this is school
as an interest in spinning the story;i.e. recruit only 18,academic issues,etc.

Agreed but donor is also involved in a crime. If you gift more than $14k in a year you are required to declare it to IRS and are responsible for paying the tax, not the recipient. Unless donor does some good estate planning and uses their lifetime exemptions, which is unlikely they would be doing with recruits, they would be in more trouble than the recipient.
 
Hope it’s a big event this year with some unexpected recruits showing up like it was in 2016

Not sure this is entirely right or entirely wrong, but recognize the validity of your argument. Point being, regardless, all it takes is a phone call. Odds are the recruit will never know where the money actually came from, points to the bag man, bag man says kid is lying. Who's side does the law typically fall on in this case?

You know the donor has a lot more legal advice and planning than the recipient, who is almost certainly hopping on instagram to post pictures of his new ride that he inexplicably got from his "uncle" right around signing day.

I wonder what the laws are if you gift to a church? Back a few years ago I was on vacation at a resort in Antigua. Got talking to a BAMA homer. He started spilling some info about how really a complex web it is that BAMA boosters have with the key being a number of churches involved to clean the money and get it to the recruits.

I know someone who got 10K from Auburn to play basketball back in the early 2000’s and then he didn’t even qualify haha. No...he didn’t give any money back. I’m sure some kids do take the bag and dip in the booster. The thing is, most of the time it’s not actual cash. These boosters are providing cars, housing, jobs etc... they can take that away. Locks the players in more.

BS. its goes after only the people they want to, an axes to grind or a political agenda. if it really went after true cheaters, al Sharpton would have been in jail long time ago.
 
I dont know if you guys have watched it yet, but the warchant(FSU insider) interviewed jadon at the rivals event and it was just funny how jadon was trying to let the interviewer know that he isnt interested in fsu.
 
The Rock, that is who we need. He shows up at Paradise and it's going to be hard to keep up with all the commitments
