Alabama doesn't cheat anymore
I have mentioned for years a friend of mine who has worked on a daily basis with coaches, players, Scouts, recruiters, etc, for 20 years. This person is in the know as much as anyone. Said that orgeron was recruiting a high-profile player in Louisiana. That player told orgeron that Bama was offering x amount. Orgeron told him that his recruitment to LSU was immediately over. Guess where that player ended up. Now, the player could have been lying but I hope no one is naive enough to think that

Clemson does not either
quote:it's just changed in how it's getting done but it's happening. I'm definitely not saying he's lying. I'm just saying that it's getting done in such a way that people like him don't see. Heck, even the coaches are kept in the dark for the most part
Said it was really bad from 08-13 but has settled down greatly
The sport doesn't go from handing out money to not. You can't put that genie back in the bottle. Also, it's clear that there's still rampant cheating in basketball. It doesn't make sense to say that basketball is cheating but football is not. It's the same boosters and ncaa. They aren't handing out tens of thousands of dollars for basketball players and then suddenly growing a conscience for football players

Sorry, I just don't put any stock in this. Note - not a knock on OP, I'm sure this all happened as you described.
However, this is the third version of this post I've seen. In the end, every account varies wildly regarding the ongoing levels of cheating.
More importantly, they all share the same red flags.
1. All were chance encounters in a public place (airport, bar, whatever)
2. A casual conversation is struck up where the poster learns of the other's profession (one was an Ok State assistant, one a MS State grad assistant, and now this mystery man)
3. Now it gets interesting - the professional, for some unknown reason, decides to tell this person, who was a complete stranger minutes ago, all of these insider secrets. Answering every question, spilling the beans on colleagues, just laying it all out there.
4. Again, all 3 accounts vary wildly.
#3 is why I will never believe these accounts. I don't see any reason to believe these people are telling the truth. I don't believe they even KNOW the truth. Why would a coach at unnamed school A know what the heck school B is actually doing. Heck, there's no way to know these people are even who they say they are. Long story short, someone probably fed you mostly BS.

5. They suspect one team in the SEC has started too give extra "benefits", but no one has directly told them(players looking for counter offers). Newer coach, from the same system as another "benefit giving" head coach. Thinks it may be short term if it is happening to just get a more stable roster with talent that has been lacking at the program.
Who does anyone think this is? A&M? SC? This one definitely isn’t UGA, they’ve always been recruiting at a insane level.
