There are a lot of rogue individuals out there, and a lot of money is being paid under the table, to steer recruits/players to certain schools, agents, and "runners."
Football, unlikely. Shoe companies have no leverage pushing players to certain schools in football. AAU/shoe companies are the most corrupt organization in sports.
Nike got raided today. Probably every blue blood programs are going to get hit. A lot of flipping will be happening in the coming days.
some red flags for 2017
Bowen was all Creighton until the sudden Louisville commit, which was confirmed.
Marvin Bagley was all USC until the sudden Duke commit and reclassifying.
Lonnie Walker was all Nova until the sudden Miami commit, they were listed in the reports for a 2018 recruit.
I used to be involved with an AAU team and there were always talk of players getting cash but everyone really didn't care. I stopped in 2014 but I heard some crazy numbers like Wiggins getting 500k and Nerlens getting 250k
