We've seen Texas lining up Lamborghini's as part of their recruiting drive. During the transfer portal, LSU Coach Kelly commented in a radio interview that they weren't going to get into a bidding contest for a transfer player (in essence, a one year rental). Now we're seeing a high school kid that is going to be paid $800K per year to go to Georgia Tech -- and that's just the start of what he's going to earn.

On top of that, On3 also spoke to a source at Florida State, who ended up losing Petty, and they said that Petty “did not” turn his recruiting process into a bidding war.
