Not really. Woodruff knew the family before Calloway was a star on the football field. He has a preexisting relationship and therefore can give Winston as much money as he would like. Plus, you can't prove these cash payments - if they even happened - were made to get Calloway to Alabama. Winston and Woodruff have been good friends for years.

NCAA rules stipulate that if Woodruff indeed had a “preexisting relationship” with Winston, Woodruff would be allowed to provide Winston any manner of benefits. That could include paying off a Winston mortgage - regardless of Winston’s relationship with Calloway.

that's just wrong... you can't give money to influence a decision, no matter how long you've known someone. It would be up to the NCAA to determine if the money was paid to get Calloway to Alabama.

If that were the case, every highly recruited high school kid would have everyone in town giving him money/gifts/etc to influence their decision.

bullshite.

Calloway was a star in middle school. He transferred and STARTED AS A FRESHMAN.

Don't give me this bullshite like everybody didn't know this kid was a star. Now they may not have known he was going to be a one-of-the-best-in-the-country-level star, but it ain't hard to see the studs even at the middle school level. If they absolutely dominate the 8th graders as a 7th grader and 8th graders, they're likely going to continue to dominate as they all grow in high school.

This "nobody knew about Brent Calloway" line is just so much crap.
