Title: I was unfamiliar with this NCAA recruiting loophole... Post by: droner on December 09, 2013, 05:50:26 EST ....that Malone used.
From The Tennessean: "The recruitment of Malone is an interesting case. It’s a situation where the player worked the system, not vice versa. A couple of weeks before he committed, Malone signed grant-in-aid papers with four schools — UT, Clemson, Florida State and Georgia. By using a loophole in a new rule, he eliminated some of the restrictions in the recruiting process. Malone was able to have repeated face-to-face meetings with coaches from those schools. Jones visited him three times in a 10-day period. Georgia coach Mark Richt mentioned him by name to the media, which would have been a rule violation if Malone had not been effectively a “signee” of the Dawgs — as well as the Vols, Tigers and Seminoles. Look for the NCAA to close that loophole post haste." http://www.tennessean.com/article/20131208/COLUMNIST0202/312080061/Climer-Vols-tackle-top-high-school-talent-before-leaves-state?nclick_check=1 (http://www.tennessean.com/article/20131208/COLUMNIST0202/312080061/Climer-Vols-tackle-top-high-school-talent-before-leaves-state?nclick_check=1) I"m surprised that we haven't heard of other recruits doing this.

The same week that Malone signed his (there was a stink raised because F$U leaked it) several other EEs for the VOLs signed theirs.From The Tennessean: "The recruitment of Malone is an interesting case.
