So, a 3-star does not deserve a scholarship over a 2-star that is close by? That is just stupid.

Look, you are a socialist and are against merit-based rewards. Just admit it. You keep trying to argue that this kid has not merited his scholarship, but that is a claim that is completely unfounded; and, instead of giving the benefit of the doubt that this kid, who was offered by WVU, Iowa, UVA, and Illinois, earned his way, you choose to cling to the completely baseless notion that his father pulled strings as if Jim Mora, Jr. gives a **** about what Diddy thinks as he is trying to build a winning program (if he does not win at UCLA, no one will keep him around simply because he put lil' Diddy in gold and baby blue).

He's a 3 star on ESPN, fail.

He didn't have actual offers from WVU and Iowa according to rivals.

He had to contact UCLA - they did not contact him.

UT offered him. It may have been a courtesy thing due to his family but we did offer him but he never even considered taking up a scholarship due to his love for the university. You can ask him yourself or his high school coach.

UT did not offer him. Check the 24/7 link.

Yeah they did. Ask him yourself - they never made it formal since he turned it down on the spot. But like I said it may have been a courtesy offer because of his last name.

Wow!!!

So you're gonna sit here and say so and so schools didn't offer combs when it's reported they did. Yet NOBODY except you is saying Tennessee offered ayres and that's ok.

Give it up bruh.

Why are you guys so mad that Puff got his kid a spot on the UCLA team? It's spelled out for you.. Sun belt offer list, location, and the fact he had to contact UCLA and not vice versa - it is what it is like Romeo playing bball at USC.

It's straight from the kids mouth bro - and one of my good friends who was his coach at McCallie - I'm offended you're calling Joseph a liar when his family has been a staple of this university for a long time and was ecstatic about his chance to play for UT.

Bass, so if you have kids, would you make them turn down a scholarship if you had a lot of money?

If I was a multi millionaire and the kid probably wasn't deserving of the scholarship then yeah I would - especially if it were to play at UT - i would prefer us getting extra talent on the field and I'm sure my son would think the same way otherwise I would have raised him as a selfish bastard who isn't a true fan.

Just as anyone in Combs family would be offended at you continually stating that you think the reason he got a scholly is because of his daddy. Get over yourself.

I find it funny no one here thinks it's fishy that this kid got an offer when he is a sun belt level talent, his dad has power, and the fact that the family had to contact UCLA. That just screams a new locker room from Mr. Puffy IMO.

Yea I've heard kids say they had offers too but really didn't funny how that works.

Still waiting on all the examples you supposedly got though...and this time how about someone who ACTUALLY HAD OFFERS FROM OTHER SCHOOLS LIKE COMBS DID BRUH!

No; they are calling you a liar. Just thought I would clear that up.
