I would give him a second chance, but he doesn't seem like a D-1 prospect from what you can find about him on the scout sites. More likely a d-2 NAIA type player.

I guess I feel better that someone didn't do this to him. Kid needs to have some sessions with someone.

 

Were you on Bob and Will this morning?

The kid's parents have to be equally culpable. There is no way they did not know what was going on. As far as the coach goes, he looks pretty stupid, too.

I'm still trying to wrap my head around this one. I just can't understand the point of his actions other than getting all of this TV time. Are we sure he isn't a Louisville recruit?

The coach is probably going to lose his job. One station reported that a CAL assistant coach emailed this guy telling him that Cal was not nor had ever been recruiting the kid.

 

In addition, the coach has apparently had some other issues.

Here's the sad thing in my limited little mind. Had the kid actually been recruited and he got caught smoking pot, smacking his girlfriend around, theft, selling crack etc. there would be those that would be all about give him a second chance. BUT since this kid had the audacity to LIE about being recruited (and we all know that college recruiters are total bastions of honesty) many of the same people that would have excused criminal behavior will try to crucify the kid for this.

 

That's what I was thinking as well. This kid would have been better off committing a felony than doing this stupid stunt. What does that say about our world?
