This is, to my knowledge, a more recent turn of events for Valdosta (aka Winnersville), at least at this scale.

There was always a certain amount of talk about {cough} shenanigans with players flipping between them and their local rival Lowndes County, maybe some stuff about move-ins from surrounding counties (though honestly I never believed much of that, it's 'Dosta/Lowndes, the brand name & success is plenty to move players from the next county over)

They aren't even in the top 10, maybe not even top 20, of programs that come to mind in this state when I think about dirty programs. Elsewhere there's creatively manipulated enrollment figures, an influx of international olympic athletes (non-revenue sports) who suddenly found themselves under the legal guardianship of assistant coaches, teams with entirely new rosters (for b'ball) or new starting lineups (for football), those are things associated with other places than Valdosta.
