When they're tampering with kids to induce them in the portal, no. When they're getting kids already in the portal, yes. It seems like they're doing both. I also think they, and now Oklahoma State, with their billionaire benefactors have totally skewed the market with the amounts they're throwing around. It's created an untenable situation.
Who got it unfair is Michigan, who got a reputation early on for poaching all because Mark Branch whined to Willie about something untrue, and Willie turned around and reported it as fact. But Buchanan didn't end up at Michigan, nor did some unnamed Virginia Tech kid (supposedly Stewart) that some anonymous VT idiot superfan started rumors about last summer nor did Yara Slavakouski, who Mineo accused Michigan of tampering with then deleted the tweet. Every one of those instances was always BS.
