Good a$$ questionThis makes you think....
Vadal Alexander, who is currently on the Raiders, was a 4-star recruit in 2012 according to 247Sports. He was the 167th best recruit in the nation. The question now is if the 167th best recruit in the country is getting $180k, what is a top 10 recruit getting?!

The worst part about it is he stole directly from a children’s hospital.... that’s a bad look which is why I would think there would be something actually coming of this. (I’m probably wrong) but you have to draw the line when you’re stealing from kids with terminal illness’ that’s about as low as you can get...It’s not enough for one booster to bring down a program. At most it would be some slap on the wrist. And honestly it probably should be unless the institution has knowledge of these incidents then it’s lack of institutional control.
It’s fun for rivals to think someone is going to get punished but most of this is just clickbait and BS. Nothing ever gets done of significance, at most it’s a punishment that’s a minor annoyance to a major program.
It’s crappy on the booster’s part but again unless LSU had knowledge of it happening, not much will come of it. Hell not much should come of it on LSU’s side, you can’t know or police the actions of everyone affiliated with your university. If anyone should’ve received the death penalty it was Penn State when the Sandusky crap went down.The worst part about it is he stole directly from a children’s hospital.... that’s a bad look which is why I would think there would be something actually coming of this.

-247I personally feel that it will shape into a three-man wide receiver haul with the current guy LSU sources are most worried about flipping being Jarrett, who visited Tennessee just before the dead period kicked in. He’s going to take all his official visits this fall, so this one has a long way to go and is quite fluid. I won’t be surprised at all if he ultimately decommits or flips somewhere else.
Good point, from the beginning I said you want to be the last man standing and not the first team he picks. Never thought he would stick with just one team and if I’m honest, don’t know if I want to be team #2 either, can see this as a big roller coaster come Dec.Honestly I’m comfortable with him holding off until after his OV to commit. Just would like this kid to be sure and forego any drama late in the cycle.
I think Austin Price of VQ has said the same thing about not really wanting to be the #2 team with him either. I kinda feel the same. I want to be the team he's with in December (if he signs early) or February.Good point, from the beginning I said you want to be the last man standing and not the first team he picks.

This, is true. It seems as if it’s been X school vs TN then Y school vs TN, that normally bodes well for the school that is the constant.You have to feel better because Tennessee has been the consistent name through out the process as well as them playing the long game with just about every recruit minus a couple this year.

If the guy was donating money into a charity just to use that money to pay recruits, you best believe he was claiming a tax invasion. Also I dont know how you prove that's all that was happening.Let me explain this to you all. The booster didn't steal anything. The booster runs the hospital and they used the fundraising money to funnel money and give to recruits. It was never the monies raised but extra put in to mk it look as if that's where it came from. A pretty elaborate scheme but nothing unusual but was exposed due to Will Wade's running of his mouth on the phone to the street agent.

If the fund raising was for the hospital and the fund were taken and directed towards something not correlating with the hospital then the funds were stolen...Let me explain this to you all.

Splitting hairs at this point. You put it into a charity fund and then reallocate it, it’s at best tax evasion and money laundering and a strong case could be made for theft as well.If it was extra money he funneled through the fund raising account, it’s laundering, not theft. Still not a good look.
