i want to say that it was cvs i don't know if it was sprouts ritz one of those kind of stores you know and this is when the fax machine was literally behind the counter so if you had to go into that store you would give the clerk your paperwork and she would fax it for you and then you would pay for it like that

So my mom and I, we go to the local convenience store to fax off my letter of intent to Ohio State Buckeyes. And I handed it to the lady. She turns around, fax it, boom, gives it back to us. We get our receipt. We pay for it. That's fine.

And then... We get back to the house and on our answering machine, John Cooper says, Hey, this is John Cooper. We did not get your signature side of the, of your intent letter. We need that letter so we officially have you here at our school. We only got the backside of it. And I go, well, coach, I mean, I went to the store. The lady sent it off. Well, we didn't get that.

And I looked at that as an omen right there. I looked at that as, you know what? Maybe this isn't the move for me. I think that I need to stay home and I'm going to be a UCLA Bruin.

And they expressed that multiple times. John Cooper, he got on the phone and he had some choice words with me as far as, hey, you don't do this, don't mess around. And hey, we're Ohio State and things like that. I was really upset. I'm like, mom, the coaches are mad at me and this and that. She goes, it's not the first time that it's happened to him, and it won't be the last.
