[quote=CYCLONE STATE;353895]It looks like he made it all up! "I wanted to play d-1 ball more than anything, when I realized that wasn't going to happen I made up what I wanted to be reality"

I read that on The Register website I think. Why the heck would you do that. I could maybe understand him making up the story and telling it to his buddies but to pull a press conference...thats crazy.

Did they interview the head coach? He had to be thinkning "This guy got an offer from Cal?"

There is a link to a video that was shot from his announcement ceremony. Hilarious

The kid actually made it all up. I saw a newsclip of it on Yahoo. Why would you make something like that up?

It's actually painful to watch now knowing what he did.

Why? This is as much the parents fault as it is the kids. Where were they during all of this? "No mom and dad, I don't want you to come with me and talk to all these coaches and visit the campuses." Give me a break. Good parents would know what was going on.

Also, as his high school coach shouldn't there have been a red flag? Would it be suspicious at all if not one coach called to talk to you about the recruit? After coaching him wouldn't you kind of know that the kid doesn't have the talent to play at that level? The dang coach actually sat next to him at this fake signing.

I can't believe nobody posted this yet:

Officer Michaels: "This jobs isn't really how y'know shows like CSI make it out to be. I mean when I first joined the force, I assumed there was semen on everything! And there was some sort of semen database that had every bad guy's semen in it. There isn't! That doesn't exist! It'd be nice. Like that crime scene to today. If the man had ejaculated and then punched you in the face, we would have a real good shot at catching him! But no.. just a punch in the face, no semen. Story of my life..."

Why would you even make up something like that? He had an offer from Oregon, who is a big time school.

He had zero offers. In fact, zero interest from any D1 school, let alone any of the programs he said were recruiting him.

It's really just sad. Hopefully he recovers, but his credibility is shot.

I read somewhere that he really was offered by Oregon at their summer camp.

I wish more high school kids would do this. It would create all sorts of chaos in recruiting circles, and, thanks to the NCAA regulations, the schools would be powerless to stop it.

It would pretty much shut up all the stupid recruiting drama that goes on, since nobody would REALLY know who was going where, and who was offered by who.

He attended their summer camp but was never recruited by them.
