  • how does the Newton loophole pertain to a "package deal"? Unless the package was dealt by a bagman...biggrin
    Seriously though, I am interested in knowing. Thanks Tide!

  • I think it would be very hard to prove. Remember A lot of fans thought Robert Lester was a package Deal with Julio as it turned out that was not the case, but it was meantioned.

  • In all seriousness, those other kids that Clemson signed were 3 or 4 stars. I think we recruited the Kamara kid for a short while.

  • worst package deal I can remember was Zach Maynard (KA's brother), Gabe King, and Keenan Allen. Not because KA didnt come here, but because Cal is 15-20 since they arrived and still sucks, not to mention they turned King into a 3rd string nose tackle in a 3-4 scheme. King was a 6'6" 250 lb DE manchild on the edge recruit and they jacked him up to 295 and put him in to occupy big nasty centers and guards. You think King is happy with the move? Nah. Maynard is a joke, plain n simple. His only solace is playing against weak defenses in practice and in Pac12. KA can play football, that much was obvious.

    This is very true and is never talked about. Rob K's friends aren't conference USA level scrubs.

    Wasn't really targeting just those..and to answer the other guy's question:I don't know. I don't know the rule wording. I thought it went something like it is forbidden or a violation if someone you know or are related to receives something of value with or without you knowing about it, based on where you choose to go to school.

    Maynard received a 20k scholarship solely because of where his brother would choose to go to school.

    I really am asking someone who would know, as I for sure do not.

    Tough to prove for sure, even if it is a "violation".
