Any certain recruit(s) that you think your school played dirty in order to sign?

This is in no way meant to be a flame thread. Keep it civil everyone
All the time we here accusations from fans of other schools that "You paid (player's name) to come to school there!" or "I know he got free stuff from a booster of y'alls to sign!"
But my question is do any of you actually have a certain player that you think your school actually cheated to get?
For Ole Miss, the 2012 recruiting class always stands out to a lot of people. I think we had some inroads that made getting Robert Nkemdiche and Laquon Treadwell MUCH easier than people realize and Tony Conner was from an Ole Miss pipeline.
Looking at Laremy Tunsil though, I still kind of laugh and shake my head wondering how we pulled that off. He had almost no interest in us until he took a late OV and decided that he wanted to come here. I'll say this before I go further. I've talked and dealt with Laremy before and he is one of the most outstanding young men on and off the field I have ever met. Very kind and wants to be successful in everything he does. Shows up to tutoring sessions on time and has an eagerness to learn the material in classes that he is enrolled in. All that said, I think we HAD to have done something in order to get his signature. It was just so out of the blue and shocking that I still can hardly believe we got him

You know, there's one guy that I'm not so sure about, but...

I know for a fact that we paid him in hookers and blow. I wanted to leave the most obvious off the list though.

Worth every penny. We might have underpaid actually.

Well, Albert Means for sure...

Apparently we like to be involved in the food game. Steaks for Matt Elam and catering company kickbacks for Drake Jackson.
Didn't have enough cupcakes to get Damien Harris though. Saban must have a better baker.

I don't think you paid him a dime. I just think you offered him more than Georgia was willing. After bringing in his brother this season I think that was probably what sealed it. Laremy signing was about family.

Rashaan Evans.
We cheated?

I really don't understand why people get upset at the accusations of them paying players to sign with them. Any recruit that is a 3 star and above has money or gifts thrown at them from every school they come in contact with IMO.

You underpaid by a lot.
Means was 250k in the 90s for nothing
Cecil needs to up his mule rental fees

Our billionaire lawyer is getting out of jail here soon. Bring it.

I may or may not have seen Trent Richardson getting a free pizza before.
Don't know if they sprung for the specialty, or went cheap and gave him a cheese...

Coal money ain't scared.
Just be glad Maxwell Smith will be gone before we play Ole Miss again.
