I think it really was about having some family with Denzel

She was going to have him go where his brother was, wherever that was. And now it makes more sense, because Denzel clearly needed something.

Because Ole Miss gave his father a job at the medical center, so he could get the hours he needed to practice medicine in US?

Drs educated at foreign medical schools must do a residency at a medical school to get licensed in the US. It is very competitive and one wonders how much preference dad may have received over others....

father would be a recruiting violation...and yet, thats exactly what usuck did when they hired Alshon Jeffries father to work for the usuck athletic dept. while Alshon was still a recruit.
Only the incredibly naive would believe that Sunday Nkemdiche hadn't been assured of a better job prior to his application for said job.

If there was financial restitution going to the Nkemdiche family from Ole Miss or its boosters, I think it would probably have been far more involved with his mother's political aspirations in Nigeria, rather than his dad getting a job at a local hospital. By sending money offshore, far larger sums would have been able to be transferred without the US government's knowledge--let alone the NCAA's. In return, Ole Miss would get a program-changing recruit, which would help push them from an inconsequential program to a program with a place at the table.
Despite all the clouds hanging around them, they've continued to recruit very well since that "magical" recruiting class in 2013, and they're projected to be around the Top 10 this coming year. Even if they are chastised by the rest of the country for now, if they're able to avoid major punishments and continue on a quiet but solid trajectory, all of this will have paid off.
It's sad, but true.

Financially and best for Clemson so we avoided a buffoon in the locker room. He was never missed @ Clemson.
