Anybody who thinks Sammy Watkins wasn't bought by Clem$on please give me a call, I have some beach front property to sell your naïve a$$.
Wake up, elite kids are being bought every cycle, NOT ALL OF THEM, but the very elite ones WHO SEEM TO BE LOOKING FOR $$$ OR WHO'S FAMILY SEEMS TO HAVE FINANCIAL TROUBLES are being felt out early by these boosters to see who might be on the take.
Please read The Bagman article that has been posted here many times, it is dead on, yet some want to still act like that is definitely not the reason we loose any recruits, its all Al Golden's fault.
Now I'm not saying that is the only reason we loose kids, that would be ridiculous, but it is definitely the reason we have missed out on SOME super elite local talent like Patrick Johnson/Peterson, Sammy Watkins, Travonte Valentine, Dalvin Cook, etc...
IMO Brandon Powel was not bought by UF even though I know for a fact that they buy recruits(I have very close family friends[that I will not name] who are serious Gator boosters with buildings on campus named after them and ****, and they have told me how back in the Spurrier days they used to have like 3-5 different kids a year from the Belle Glade area getting big pay checks from their sugar cane company but never showing up to work just so they could secure their signature on NSD, they haven't done any of this since Spurrier left, but say they know a few other boosters who handle that for UF now. He has told me about all the bidding wars him and a certain booster from F$U would have almost every year back then, crazy stuff and some cool stories.)
I also don't think JC was bought buy the turds either, they have a beast of a DB coach and IMO he is what made the difference, and JC's family members who wanted him at UF.
And for those out there saying "well why didn't McDermott get bought?"
His family does not have financial troubles(seen videos and pics of him fishing on their new boat), he has a brother on the team, and I know some folks on here are going to go ape **** with this, but who was the last white boy that seemed to be getting paid by any university to go there?
These schools go into the hood and try to take advantage of the financial situations some of these families are in to get their child to their program.
And for the guy who wants to call me racist for that statement, please understand that I am Cuban and not racist at all, I just see things with my eyes open, and see it how it really is, and I have yet to see a situation like Cam Newton or Patrick Johnson/Peterson, where everybody knows he is getting paid, just can't be proven with a white boy.
