For those who didn't follow his recruiting, the kid had his heart set on moving to California to play football, but the dream didn't work out and ended up staying home and playing for UGA.

But now he'll get his chance to play in the Rose Bowl as one of the best players in the country and for one of the biggest games of the year during his last college season.

That's exciting for the kid...

Reading that article, he didn't know that UCLA only had a graduate level business school? Makes me wonder how much research any of these kids do on the academic side of the equation. I am sure he isn't the only one, but dang, if you get hurt or don't have a stellar career and need something to fall back on...know where you are going has what you need to be successful and do what you want to do if the NFL thing doesn't work out.

I would think he trusted the people at UCLA as a 17-18 year old kid. That seems normal to me. What isn't normal is completely misleading a kid that age as a grown arse man to try and convince him to play football at your school. It's a bad look IMO.
