This story is going to get crazy....The F fing BI don't F around

Cal recently switched to Under Armour, if they had Addias before that, I smell A rat
Quonzo Martin some how got Jalen Brown ( number 3 recruit in the nation ) to travel cross country to go to Cal

Martin's new school Missouri had a monster recruiting class....

You heard it hear first

I also wondered why Arizona always got top recruits

Pretty risky to get a legit company in the mix. Seems safer to let the boosters and "friends of boosters" do the work.

$$$$$$$$$

Too much money at stake. Companies gotta sell an awful lot of over-priced fancy tennis shoes in order to pay those huge contracts to highly over-paid Star Athletes. They always are looking for the next model and Superstar to support the over-priced tennis shoe, so....They try to get the next Superstar locked into their brand early.

College football is just as corrupt. This may start a chain reaction that could change the landscape of college athletics as we know it.
