Rivals gets Catfished by fake player

[Johncarter53]

I’m convinced butch jones would have actually offered him a real scholarship.

 

[TrapVol]

Kiffin offered right before he headed to USC so he's all mythical Vol.

Gerald Williams part deux

 

[VolForLife83]

WOW too bad we dont have more of these guys filling up the rosters of Bama, UGA, and UF lmao

 

[Vol8188]

Can’t believe he didn’t claim a UT offer. CJP clearly can’t recruit in state!

 

[PulaskiVolFan]

LOL at Rivals. Who didn’t know they were doing this.

I'm guessing the parents that have paid them thousands of dollars over the years to have their kid rated in their service didn't know! My guess is that their sponsors didn't know either.

I wonder if Tennessee sent him a letter or e-mail

 

[Chilmonty]

Butch recruited him!?!

[Omar V Tinko]

When I was at UT I played Rugby. We created a fake transfer student who was an enormous pacific Islander named Omar Tinko, and talked him up on the internet and facebook to get our opponents to worry about/prep for a nonexistent rugby god.

non existent?

 

[Glitch]

i for one am glad this got it's own thread, or i wouldnt have seen it

 

[BigorangeBoy]

Reminds me of the Reynaldo Striker DE that was invented by the Haskew brothers on WGOW about two decades ago

 

[TheRain]

Five star heart.

 

[wmcovol]

And some people swear by these rankings

 

[NighthawkVol]

LOL! Anyone seen this? Apparently some Knoxville students created a fake twiiter account for a made up HS football player, and tweeted that he had received offers from Bama, UGA, and Florida, among others. No film or anything. Rivals rates him a 5.5 3* with no evaluation whatsoever. And because 247 provides composites he ends up on the 247 Composite. Well done, Rivals.

But star ratings by the website nerds who fell for this are the end all, be all.

Anybody that says Georgia is their dream school is obviously fake

I’m just really confused how this got such a necro bump 3 years after it was posted

Probably has something to do with the stars/ranking debate that's raging.

I think it’s the realization that the previously fake Omar Tinko is real:

Or the real Omar finding out he’s fake. It’s a real existential crisis
