I bet his kid went to a baseball camp at Oregon State where Casey was a dick and paid no attention to the kids who sucked. Then Cheswick's kid probably got a letter from Oregon State, as did every other kid who attended the camp. Who would want to play for a baseball coach who made Oregon State a power?
I remember my last stop on Active Duty in Tucson we had this little kid from an SEC state that told me Oregon offered him a scholarship to play corner. First he was white, so it's already 100% false. Sure, Justin Wilcox did it, but he was a legacy kid. Anyways, this kid was about 5'5" 145lbs with two left feet. Later on that year I had to cut him from our fun flag-football team because he was so awful.
Point of the story is people say all kinds of things about athletics, almost zero of it is true.
If he was recruited by OSU and they were "turned off" the he would have been recruited by other D1 teams and accepted somewhere. Ask where he ended up? That would give you the answer.
Exactly. Whenever someone lies about their high school glory they always list a big name college that people know. "I was going to play for Penn State, but I hurt my knee." Ok, shit happens, but Akron is still going to take you.
If the very tip top passes on you there are hundreds of other options. It's not the big league or bust.
