I've heard about the rumors of other schools boosters/bag men approaching Memphis players families with possible NIL deals if they leave Memphis and go to a different school.

1- This is happening.

2- This is the new normal.

I don't like it but welcome to the new world of college football recruiting. I heard that a player went to the staff upset because he doesn't want to leave Memphis BUT due to NIL $$$ from another school was promised to his family he feels he must leave. Is this the reason Marcyll Jones is no longer on the team? I don't know. I do know multiple players/families are being approached.

If you hear anything please reply here if you feel comfortable in doing so or you can send me a private message on here. Click on my name and then start conversation. Or find me on Twitter and send me a DM there. I want to look into which schools are poaching and might be able to do an article on it.
