Found this on Buckeyehuddle:
A DT from Eugene, OR just decommitted from Oregon. The below is what the Oregon side is saying about it. I swear recruiting gets weirder by the day.
This is wild. So his father is not currently in the US. And wants to be.

I was told this has nothing to do with Geralds or any other recruits. He wasn't pushed out.

But another program, from the ACC (Not Miami) told him they could get his dad back into the US. Oregon would obviously love to do that for him but absolutely did not feel comfortable making that promise.

This might be the wildest recruiting request I've ever heard(and that says a lot). And the rumored ACC school is UNC. Bill has networks everywhere

Guess the 'money talks, bullshit walks' aspect is still paramount. Wonder if the NFL pros look at these NIL newbies with a harsher attitude than they used to when the inflated starting salaries come in, topping what these veterans make? These newbies have their Lambos before they receive their rookie bonuses.

Idk why it would bother the pros, their pros. And most if not all pros know they should've received similar deals. But let's be honest, players HAVE BEEN GETTING PAID! Players have been getting luxury cars in college since the beginning of time. Idk why fans are acting like its such a new thing. Though the scUM Fab 5 players complained about not getting a cut from Nike, they ended up still accepting money under the table, getting caught and then getting their titles stripped. USC had a dominant early 2000s on the backs of paying stars like Reggie Bush, Lendale White, Leinert, etc. And I can go on about so many of the programs, but there's a reason why the same programs for decades have dominated collegiate sports. You don't accumulate a ton of talent without offering incentives. UCLA under Wooden wasn't getting athletes from all over the country based on their love for the Westwood and Wooden...

And those Lambos are all rented/leased, the players return them once they leave campuses. A lot of these pictures and videos on social media are smoke and mirrors.
