Somewhat interesting story about the inside workings of recruiting.

Met a Football player from Tomball HS tonight and he had an interesting story about Demond Demas and A&M's recruitment of him. If you remember, Demas was a 2020, 5 Star Reciever, that committed early to A&M.

The guy I met tonight, through a friend, had on an LSU hat. So I started talking to him about Football and where he might be interested in going. He said he'd like to get a scholarship to A&M like his friend Demond. I asked him if he'd be interested in playing at LSU, but he said there's no way he'd be good enough to play there. So I laughed and asked him why he thought he could play at A&M. That's when he told me that his coach has a deal set up with Jimbo and it might get him a scholarship.

He said Jimbo wanted Demond so badly, that he made a deal with his coach to steer Demond to A&M. Part of that deal is to allow Tomball HS to play some Home Games at Kyle Field over the next few years and keep all the proceeds. He also said Demond told him he and his coach both got cash if Demond went to A&M, but wouldn't say how much.

I just found it interesting that A&M could pay the High School right out in the open in the way they're doing it. I know "everyone does it", so that's not the point. Just learning how it goes on, is. The game in question this year is on October 16th against Tomball Memorial.
