Brett Hein of the Standard wrote an extremely interesting article about DI poaching. It was informative and straight-forward. I highly recommend the article. It was a good read. https://www.standard.net/sports/poaching-problem-mid-major-college-basketball-teams-fight-slimy-recruiting/article_75743b06-dd99-596f-a298-4551f0d2b6ea.html
But, there was one glaring issue. Nothing with Hein, he did a good job, but something with regards to David Collette and his sudden transfer from USU to Utah. He admits, in a podcast, to being poached and that Utah skirted NCAA rules to contact him and eventually get him to leave. Should the NCAA be a little concerned and investigate? These third party groups should be eliminated and schools should be punished. But those with the money can do whatever they want. All the NCAA does is throw ridiculous sanctions against Cal Poly when USC is committing extortion and fraud and nothing happens.
