why do we never hear a peep from these young people about such things?

It seems it's a forgone conclusion "Everyone is cheating to some extent, if you don't you have no shot landing talent"



Scandals have happened plenty of times in the past...history always repeats itself

But I am amazed how the lid is kept down on the issue from the young people involved. With social media and such, it seems there would be a video, a photo, a text that would blow things open....

Can someone explain the belief about cheating versus the lack of evidence?

how likely is it the FBI is going to just flat out ask Smart if received something beyond a scholarship and from whom?

Naz was the prize recruit in this class at least from a Star rankings go...Nothing on him...?

Lastly, I think the AAU culture is responsible for solicitation of schools and coaches...

"What can you do, I can get you this player IF..."

AAU coaches are acting like agents ...I believe it's a real problem

Do you not see all the chargers and challengers bama players drive. There is a thread that compiles the bama players whips every few years.

DJ Fluker said he got money from an agent-nothing happened
Dozens of Alabama players pose with new rides shortly after committing- nothing happens

A lot of the players grew up in neighborhoods where if you snitched, you were ostracized from whatever group you claimed to be a part of.

It's part of the culture. So if an NCAA bagman comes up to you and asks to not talk, you don't talk. Especially when the return is you set yourself and your family up for financial compensation.

seen a few, but doubt the Bama football practice parking lot is full of them during practice.

I know Nick is getting help, it has to be happening, I mean look at their budget versus ours... there is no way one man can be that dang good above everyone else in recruiting...

but winning does attract talent ....so once you get it rolling I think recruiting begins to produce a lot of fruit and then you probably don't have to cheat as much?...

that said, the way Bama closes recruiting classes in Football, it's raises suspicion just like it's almost impossible to pull a 5 star guy from the state of Mississippi

If one school is doing it then they all have to be. If it was only a few schools cheating then they why wouldn't every single player be going there?

The big difference here is LSU basketball does not "belong." LSU Football can do whatever the hell they want and will never get caught or even investigated because they "belong."

You have to know how to cheat and get away with it! You never want to leave "fingerprints" where it can be traced back to you! Like I've said before, Wade should never had even spoken to a middleman. Leave that stuff to your assistants and boosters!

I'd like to know all of the coaches names and hear their conversations that were recorded during the wire tapping. I'm sure the agent had conversations with many coaches not just 2 or 3.

If true, then why aren't assistants taking the fall such sins of "paying players?"

It seems there would be a book or something..

but no one talks in an age where nothing is hidden

That neighborhood is called the United States of America. Or any neighborhood in any country in the world. But you would know nothing about anything outside of the cave you live in.

Cheap bastards.

Saban owns a Mercedes dealership and his players are driving around in Dodges.

What exactly is your grievance with the world?

Nobody has attacked you, but every thread you're in you're calling people names and talking down to people.

What gives?
