Fake News Here
I am here to vouch that Charles never had an FAU offer. Did anyone ever see him listed by a contributor on the site in any way shape or form?
Enough said. And rediculous. Yes, rediculous, because it was diculous before when the first bogus article was written and is now diculous again.

In the day of Fake News, some reporters, one of which is responsible for the entire sham (Chris Hays), are now writing articles with no source other than the kid and and his dad claiming that Kiffin and Company pulled a scholarship offer from athlete DJ Charles.

This reminds me of the Jesus Stomp spectacle where they ran with the story based upon the "victim's" complaints before checking all the facts. And similarly to that debacle where the university and the professor "do not comment on academic matters" and the fire grew, so too here is the issue with Kiffin not being able to respond until after Signing Day so they need someone else to fight for them.
Here's what I suspect is happening. If and when these stories are true, they're sad. Plus Kiffin's name in anything gets you hits and the paper loves that. Those things are undeniable.
But moreover it's curious timing because here you have dual-threat QB recruit Marvin Washington who UCF fans were high on (here's his commitment story by the same reporter), he decommits from UCF and starts looking at FAU (where he has an offer) and UF (where he doesn't have an offer, but is hopeful for one soon). A story runs that if he had to choose right now, it would be FAU. Marvin tweets that our coaching staff are "unbelievable people".
So is this about the Orlando Sentinel trying to make Kiffin look bad so Washington is swayed away from us?
Sounds ridiculous, right, the kind of emotional manipulation a teenager would do… but not out of the question.

UPDATE:
Well I see it is having the desired effect and is being picked up nationally.

Lets not forget MJS running a student over. Click bait, all it is.

Maybe it's true, maybe it isn't, maybe he slipped under the radar somehow for the FAU fan sites, I don't know.
I will say that if this 247 list is correct it's like 262 offers to look into when the new coaching regime comes on… which was still a work in progress up until recently, so I'm not surprised there was so much disconnect between the recruits and the new coaching staff.
I have no idea how long it takes to watch film on 262 recruits to ensure that they meet your standards for awarding a scholarship but I'm sure it's not something you do in a single afternoon.

247 does indeed show him as having an FAU offer and committing on Oct.18th.

It's absolutely 100% positive not true. Kid never had an offer from us.
I trust my sources on this much more than any read and post page.
