Sunspot Jonz - Dammn
I've been waiting to comment on this hilarious story until it reached it's conclusion and apparently the time has come. In fact, it went from a hilarious/sad story, to mostly sad, to are you fucking kidding me. Let's take a look:
It began with Kevin Hart, a 2-star high school football recruit out of Nevada holding a press conference to decide his future. Would it be California or Oregon? Well, he went with Cal, but unfortunately neither school had actually recruited him. So here's the hilarious/sad part in which someone had apparently dedicated a great deal of time to fuck with this kid. Cruel, but you can't help but respect the effort.
Next up is the mostly sad part in which it was revealed that his family was scammed by a recruiting middleman and lost money in the process. This isn't quite as funny, but does paint Hart as a sympathetic figure who could maybe get a shot at a D-1 school for good press if nothing else.
But, just as you were starting to feel for this dude he goes and makes it hilarious again by admitting he made all of this shit up. All of us would have liked to play D-1 sports and I'll give him credit for this scheme, but really? What did he think the outcome of this would be? I can see him going off to school at Berkeley City College and stocking up on Cal gear for his triumphant return home for winter break:
"Yeah son, they're making me red shirt this year because I'm just fucking too many bitches on campus, they told me I need to get my mind right so I can fulfill my 1st Round status."
"Nah, you don't see me on the team roster because I don't want that attention. It's like a fucking unlisted phone number."
Maybe I'm being too hard on him, maybe this was all done to expose the ethical gray area that accompanies recruiting in this day and age. How young is too young? What message does it send our youth when athletic accomplishment is worshiped, while academic is ignored? How many porn stars do you throw at your top recruits during their campus visits?
Ahhhhh fuck it, look at the shit we were doing at 18, dude is just a clucker.

Most of my life is a fallacy so I feel for this cat but he's 6'4" 305 lbs and a two star prospect he probably could have gone the JU-CO route and ended up somewhere if he really wanted to ball that bad.
Now he still has 4 months of high school to try to explain to his friends that he is a clucker, at least he got some pub for his school.
Oh yeah I forgot to mention....seniors run the world.
