Kevin Hart, the kid who offered a scholarship to himself

quote:

Kevin Hart was the first football prospect from Fernley, NV, to ever receive a D-I football scholarship offer. He offered it to himself in a high school gym filled with his peers, choosing a Cal hat over an Oregon cap and thanking the students and staff and his family. There were cameras and microphones and a victory walk. There's footage and everything.

First one that jumps out is Richardson on NSD

Once Montgomery committed that morning he called Richardson "Go to LSU" ...Richardson then called LSU coaches "I am coming"...and rumor went wild wild wild...

with in 2 hours, Saban sends AJ McCarron and few other Bama players to Florida to meet Richardson at his HS before faxing his papers

The message:

"you committed to coach, and you will honor your word"

Something along those lines...

Nothing can really touch Landon Collins. It was straight from wilsons mouth that it was In the bag. Straight lied to the coached.

Gunner Kiel...longest thread EVER on this board..straight up enrolled somewhere else

Jansen Jackson...just wow.

Joe McKnight was big

In that order...there's others..those stand out. There is some in the other direction, like same mongomerry rueban randle..RP etc

Yes. We lost in the 11th hour

Conversely...we were just as close to losing Randle to bama.

The whole deangelo Peterson ordeal.

I remember hearing that Adoree' Jackson's father ran off with his LOI, refusing to sign it because he wanted Adoree' to go to another school (the rumor was LSU) instead of USC. He finally caved, and USC got his LOI faxed in the day after NSD

This shows that I am not a young whippersnapper, but I remember a football recruit who was attending an LSU basketball game when Dale Brown was the coach. I can't remember any of the names, but a star point guard made a 30 foot shot with seconds left to win the game for LSU. The recruit committed to LSU, and he said later that the exciting finish to the basketball game played a part in his decision. He said that it was a "sign" for him.

Janzen Jackson was pretty nuts

Glad he went down in flames too.

just curious, was LSU ever a serious consideration or in the hunt for Eric Jefferson

I remember him turning down Nebraska, FSU , and countless other schools to sign with perennial doormat Illinois (Lou Tepper)

that would be a great 30 for 30 story

Eric Jefferson ESPN article
