Just an observation - We should put the date in the subject line rather than “Visit Today”. These threads stay around forever and to our many beloved Casual Fans it may appear that he is visiting that current day when it fact it could have been weeks ago.

So based on the visit schedule and your date of 10/15 I’m going to guess. Andre and Cardwell.

Yep! Programs outed by FBI have zero to lose this year. If NCAA does take action whatever indiscretions currently taking place will be lumped in with FBI Adidas report. Get an exciting class and fans will come out in droves plus alumni will donate. It will offset some of the upcoming revenue losses.

NCAA should factor this in when issuing penalties.
 
Cardwell, who’s being recruited by other SEC teams but not Auburn, plays on that McEachern team now with Cooper. It’s not always great for a player to leave a school like Oak Hill, but Cardwell will still be surrounded by a lot of talent and playing high-level ball.

Bruce has a savings fund I am sure which will assist Chuck Person when he gets out of jail for taking his hit. Amazing to me this guy is coaching when his assistant is going to or in jail for recruiting under his watch. And yet Georgia Tech is going to get hammered for kids getting $300 bucks to go to a strip joint. What is the NCAA thinking, it's just a fn joke?

Yep, the whole system stinks to high heaven. It is a total farce and has been for a long time. It is a miracle, what Calhoun was able to accomplish. He was fighting massive corruption the whole time. Yeah, he did marginal stuff like give some connected teams pre-season games but those were the legal things he could do to combat the huge disadvantage.

And it was obvious to anyone who had a brain and their eyes open. Even when Calhoun had so much to sell to recruits he was still barely ever landing five star burger kids. They were a welcome rarity here but certain coaches and schools with little to nothing to sell were landing far more of them. And when anyone questioned why we were losing kids to lesser teams and coaches, they were mocked here. Not anymore!

I hear you mau loud and clear. So many factors of cheating and the NC fiasco have messed up college basketball with so much drama, it's too much with the ncaa being pathetic, cowards.

They have revised the infraction penalty guide to consider that...

5-15-4.Financial Penalty. Pursuant to Bylaws 19.9.5 and 19.9.5.2, consistent with Figure 19-1, absent extenuating circumstances under Bylaw 19.9.6 and after determining the appropriate classification based on any aggravating and mitigating factors, hearing panels shall prescribe financial penalties as a core penalty when a panel concludes that an institution or involved individual associated with a sport program committed one or more Level I or Level II violations. If those financial penalties include an additional percentage of the sport program's budget, that percentage will be applied to the average of the sport program's previous three total budgets. Based on the financial penalty prescribed, an institution shall be required to calculate and identify its total financial penalty in its preliminary compliance report. The OCOI will provide that total to the NCAA accounting office, which will provide the institution with an invoice. Institutions shall be required to pay the invoice within 30 days of receipt of the invoice. COI practice does not permit an institution to retain any portion of its financial penalty in lieu of paying the invoice. (Effective: 2/27/2015, Adopted: 4/30/2015; Revised: 2/19/2016, Adopted: 3/21/2016; Revised: 3/26/2019, Adopted: 6/12/2019)

On top of all the other penalties last week - the NCAA nicked Georgia Tech for a fine of $5k plus 2% of the men’s basketball program budget.
 
This probably hurts our chances, right? We can’t miss out on Cardwell while we wait for Cliff. Does anyone in the know have a weather report from Stores?

Yes but he's been all over the map on that. He's said in the past he's committing on his birthday, Oct. 11th. Once Andre officially makes it official we'll see if we can speed Cliff along.

He only said he was trimming his list on that date (at least this summer). If he’s waiting until the spring that points to him wanting to see who leaves UK in the draft. Regardless, I think at that point the risk is too large to not try to close on Cardwell. Whoever we get is likely going to have to be our starter two years from now.

I do think I’d stay on Cliff though. I mean we only have one center on the roster, so it’s far from preposterous that we’d want 2 in the class.

So can't they just change the upcoming budget to account for the shortfall? Financial penalties are kinda worthless imo.
