bizzare recruiting story from Cal (merged)

RGJ.com: Web site: no offer made to Fernley lineman

Kid holds a press conference saying he is committing to cal. turns out cal never offered. Rumor has it the kid made up the interest from Cal and Oregon and the recruiting visits.

Same thing happened when I committed to play QB for UT. Damn Fulmer

Any chance this is a joke? No way the kid thought he could get away with it

well he is a legit recruit apparently. doesn't look like it was a joke. the initial rumor was that some kid was pretending to be tedford and talking to him. but after he said he went on a recruiting visit to Cal, it seems obvious that it was the recruit who made up the whole thing.

If its just some kids playing a prank on him than that is really mean. I hope thats not the case because if it is, then I feel really bad for the kid.

well if he says he has been on a visit, then he is obviously the one behind this.
