Recruit talks up fake ND visit

2014 RB recruit Stanley Williams made up a fake visit to Notre Dame this past weekend. Which begs the question does Notre Dame really exist anymore?

If he had proved he was totally innocent, I would have only thought he was one of the dumbest and most gullible people alive, but I would have felt horrible for him. For him to do that, he needed to come clean and provide all the evidence like his phone records. Hiding behind Jeremy Schaap did not help him, and hiring a PR firm (probably not coincidentally the same one that Katie Couric uses) doesn't help the perception of him.

I don't think he was part of the hoax, but I think he helped perpetuate the myth by embellishing the story and lying about her to media to make the relationship more than it was. I really don't think those 8 hour phone calls happened every night.

Is there any possibility Williams went up to ND on his own dime, without fanfare and toured the campus/took in a game completely on the downlow?

And in other bleeding heart scenarios (which is completely unlike me), Is anyone else fearful that the backlash created by this story could push Manti T'eo over the edge, and possibly to the point of suicide?  I don't know man, I just have a bad feeling about this whole thing and the ongoing jokes aren't going to be so funny if the guy ends up hurting himself.

punking the reporter or actually making up the story with no irony to Manti. I think the latter, but hilarious.

How many ND fake visits will arise? Will reporters check every ND reference?
