Some of these stories are straight out of Hollywood. To have the most prominant and storied football programs in America (minus UF) offering you a free ride is not good enough. So many choices, so much diversity offered in the various schools. Everybody rolling out the perverbial red carpet.
But, in the end, make sure you have the prospect's preferred jersey number, just in case.
Not that anybody here gives a rat's butt, but this has been a prominant story at SC in the past. Ever hear of a dude named Desean Jackson? Or, as he is referred to at SC, MEsean?
Well, MEsean was thought to be a Trojan commit sometime shortly after his momma brought him into this world. A little before signing day, Desean was informed that Patrick Turner would wear the number 1. MEsean thought they were showing preferential treatment to a Tennessee boy, and was not too thrilled to say the least. Then, he shook the West Coast with a 7.1 magnitude with his announcement to play for Cal. So, it definitely matters to some more than others.
