    There's obviously a connection...let's just hope the shenanigans happened after both hired an agent vs. buying influence for them to come to X.

    I mean, it was the third agent for Semaj since going pro, so it's safe to say there's nothing going on there. And Ed was a lightly recruited three star, so I'm skeptical that he was influenced.

    Was just going to say.. Sumner was a 3 star recruit - I doubt there were any bags of money going around during that recruitment.

    How many 5 star recruits have landed at X? Maybe 1 (Semaj - and he was local)? Were there others?

    It's pretty obvious we weren't bidding on the 5 star guys.

    I'm going to assume since Adidas did it, so did Nike.
    But at least on the first pass, it looks like Adidas schools involved; so maybe X is OK being Nike.

    What is the responsibility of a school who has no involvement? Say Adidas contacted a kid, paid him to go to a school (that they supply) and onward to a certain agent...and the school or none of its people are involved? Maybe that's being naive about how it all works.
    ...he went up late, and I was already up there.

    Somewhere in the middle apparently is the reality.

    Yep which means x was playing an ineligible player, unless this occurred when Sumner was injured his last year. That's a probem, whether mack knew about it or not. How much of a problem, remains to be seen.

    Payments were at the end of the 15/16 season, allegedly. So if X was playing an ineligible player, it would be the end of that season/beginning of 16/17. Obviously Ed didn't play down the Elite 8 stretch.
