True question for real answer.

Why would a top recruit want to come to a school who has been average to below average and had just recently come off of an abysmal year? On top of that, the new head coach at this school is a no name with nothing to show. Then you add in the fact that it's a school in a pretty rural part of Mississippi. Now add that it wasn't just one top recruit, it was several top recruits. An accomplishment this school had never done before. Now add in that these are black recruits going to a historically racist school.

I get that Oxford is not a completely shitty, dingy town. As far as Mississippi goes, it's a fairly nice, mostly quiet town, but it's still a town in Mississippi. What does Mississippi have to offer a young black man honestly?

I could understand pulling a top recruit here and there, but that many, pretty much overnight?

coaches from other schools know full well what's going on. It's become apparent according to several media outlets that there are a lot of coaches unhappy with OM right now. Some of this could very well be chalked up to "sour grapes". There probably are a few that are pissed solely because OM beat them, but it sounds like there are even coaches from teams that OM never plays that are unhappy with something that OM is doing right now. According to the media outlets, it's an unprecedented amount of unhappy coaches. You have to ask yourself why these coaches who haven't and likely won't play OM are so unhappy with something that is going on at OM.

Look, I like OM almost as much as most OM fans, but this is probably one of those situations where you might have to accept that OM (or some boosters) got greedy and went for too much too quickly rather than develop their unprecedented success on the recruiting trail at a less-suspicious rate.

As for the question, one possibility that immediately springs to mind is that if he (or Tunsil's mom, which would amount to the same thing if they were married) got paid anything major, they certainly didn't report it, which means real-world troubles with the IRS. Smaller cash payments are easier to get away with.
