Probably not Maker. I like the chances for Diallo though.
Is it typically just money? I wanna hear more details on this.

It's not always money. In Texas at least, the big schools have one dealership in the area that they'll go to to get a car under the radar. Usually a lease.
When I was a senior, one of our football players was being recruited by a well-known school and he got an Escalade. I've also personally seen dudes get jewelry, Jordan's, iPhones, etc.
My sophomore year, I was out in Vegas at an AAU tournament and one of my teammates had $40K dropped off to the hotel room his mom was staying in. Funny thing is this school wasn't even one of the top dogs in college hoops (think Ole Miss, Auburn, USCe) We knew who it was from because the "bag man" spoke to my teammates handler a few hours before.
His mom gave us like $2500 a piece and we paid off bouncers to get into strip clubs Stayed out til like 5 AM. Lost our game the next day by like 30.

No show jobs are a big deal too,well at least they were in the 80's.Dudes at UK would get "hired" for the Summer and make a grip. I'm not sure how popular that is now though.

The car dealership situation is the biggest juug in college sports

I don't know specifics but Vegas is not that big, UNLV is the team here and a lot of people with money and influence want to get things going like it was the early 90s again. The guy who started Findlay Prep owns a couple car dealerships and is a big booster as well as Steve Wynn and the Fertitas. The Fertitas are Bishop Gorman alums and now both the football and basketball coaches at UNLV have brothers that are the head coaches for both sports at Gorman so there is a connection and opportunity for extra funds or any sort of hook ups for those involved with a young mans decision making.
Also Ed O'bannon works at one of the Findlay dealerships his nephew is a big time recruit for '17 that attends Bishop Gorman.

Remember a kid from a small school back from near where I'm from went to Auburn. Soon afterwards he's on facebook or twitter posting pics and thanking his mom for the new Camaro. Post was deleted in a day or two.
And I know a dude personally who won a new Navigator in a 'raffle' like in 2002.
Newman will likely choose between Kentucky and Mississippi State....LSU a distant third. With the twins and Booker gone the obvious choice is Kentucky. He says he wants the ball in his hands as much as possible next year so State still has a chance.

I remember seeing Dexter Strickland in a brand new 4 door Masarati like his sophomore year in Chapel Hill. Damn scum bag program. Younging was whipping the joint in the streets with no damns. Straight donuts and swerving in and outta traffic.

I agree. Those would bring much less attention than Chevys for sure.

LOL. UNC is pure swag if they're letting players whip Maserati's. I would expect nothing less.
