Gents, you saw in that anonymous coaches poll that it's not just Miami fans that know the SEC is handing out bags of cash. Yes, it's real. No there isn't much we can do about it. You can be **** sure the #5 player in country is getting a Brinks truck to his house. We get elite players despite that because those kids want to be Canes. That's why the sign says, "It's a Cane thing, you wouldn't understand." If this kid is the kind who wants money, nothing Richt says will change his mind. We can't pay but we can offer education, a huge brand, a big stage, and a pipeline to the NFL. I get more upset if we lose a 4 star local kid we want because the big schools usually save the big bags for the elite 5 stars. We shouldn't lose many 4 star battles. Our game though is recognizing the local kids who have raw talent, which is why it's good that Richt starts scouting them in junior high (like Rousseau). We'll still find the ballers in the 305.
