Just giving an update to an earlier blog on the Nevada high school football player that gave a verbal commitment to UC-Berkley last Friday only to have the validity of his national letter of intent questioned.

Turns out it was a hoax. He lied about the recruiting. He lied about talking with Cal coach Jeff Tedford. Really there wasn't any truth to his story. Well, expect that he went to Oregon for a summer football camp and had a good season for the small high school football program.

ESPN's First Take picked up on the bizarre story Thursday and aired a 5-minute interview with Reno Gazette-Journal reporter and a former colleague Chris Gabel.

Gabel spoke with the boy's father on Wednesday, and said he and his family were embarrassed and sorry for all that happened.

There's even thought that the police will file charges against the football player for filing a false police report.

Personally, the kid doesn't deserve jail time or community service. I'm sure embarrassment and public ridicule will be enough. As for playing college football, his best bet will be at the junior college level.
