I was listening to ESPN tonight when this broke.  They played a clip of his interview with a guy shortly after this thing happened.  I will say this much, that kid is either an incredible actor, or he got suckered pretty hard.  Curious to see if Dead spin has it right or not, irregardless this kid is still getting paid when the draft rolls around, fake girlfriend or not, because he can play some ball.  He just may have cost himself some $ and pushed his stock a little lower, but hey Oakland still gets to pick at some point.

He claims to have been a victim of online dating scam. Ever seen the show "Catfish"

Stupid? No Naive kid? Probably Did he know? Who knows (or cares)? Remember people, this is a child we're talking about. With zero life experience. You weren't as smart or mature in college as you remember yourself being. Just sayin.

He is 22.  While I know much more at 29 than I did at 22, that is still an adult.  

 

I don't know what happened, but seeing that his dad told the media that the girlfriend came to Hawaii to visit, it is rather fishy.

I was a 22 year old kid carrying an M16 on foreign soil. Age is a number. Legality notwithstanding. He's a kid.

If deadspin nailed this, he might win douche of the decade.

 

 

Well, not as long as Lance Armstrong is in the world, but he could be in the back row of the team picture!
