My dad was a bag man in the 80's and back than it was 80-90 %. Didn't have stars system back then but paying kids wasnt the problem it was getting them to sign and knowing who to pay. A typical top recruit from Moss Point would get 20k plus in cash from at least 3 or 4 schools. It wasn't perfected as much as it was now. Bama was still the best at it, Auburn was not a threat back then in our area. It seems like we have gone back to the 80's to me

That makes sense to me. I have friend that got over $20,000 back in the 70's before he ever signed anywherer and he wasn't even that good. He ended up at Southern Miss but he received the majority of his money from the state of Florida. He wouldn't say which school.
He had been shown lots of interest from lots of teams but in the end only Southern Miss came through with a scholarship. He turned out to be pretty darn good for them but not pro level.

Then why did we suck so bad in the 80s? Obviously, it bag men were overrated.
