1. Alabama doesn't cheat anymore(they did the first few years). Despite what people believe, they don't need to. Bama hasn't paid a player in years. Clemson does not either. They have enough proof of success that there is no need to offer money anymore and take a risk of being caught



I suspected this as well..I think Duke and UK BB is in the same category. They're too big of a name to cheat. They dont have to

Yeah, I’m sure players who are offered six figures by Kansas are instead going to Duke for free.

Alabama still pushes the envelop, and walks a fine line with the rules. They are still a serious player in the recruiting wars for players, but it's nothing now like it was back when Saban was building this monster. Alabama/Saban are a proven commodity and some recruits are up for the challenge and want to consistently compete for championships.

Why would a top level 5* want to go to a program where the coaching staff is constantly on the hot seat, and turns in mediocre results year after year?

yes they do. Kids care about the cash. If you aren't offering, why would I talk to you instead of the 15 other blue bloods/up and coming programs who are. Daddy needs a new pair of shoes
