I took over a team in Hayes that had Oscar Myers at TE.

Best one though was trying to recruit myself one year. But I rejected a campus visit from myself. LOL

My favorite so far was William Wallace. He sucked, but his pregame speeches were killer.

+1 to William Wallace... that's hilarious!

I have Running back Jim Brown and QB Chad Johnson...  I guess since he's a qb, he'll change his name to "Uno-Cuatro"...  I may try to recruit another Chad Johnson and petition WIS to change his name to Uno-Cuatro...  hmmmm....

I actually laughed out loud when I found out that my AC had scouted Willie Wang.

I recruited WR James Kelly this  year to go with my current QB James Kelly.  Unfortunately I redshirted James Kelly (the receiver) so James Kelly (the quarterback) will only have one year to throw to James Kelly (the receiver).

I did and also because of his High School.  His name was Boling and from Swanton High school.  Can't remember his first name but a friend and coworker of mines' kid was Nathan Boling.  He went to Swanton and then Wake Forrest.  Then was Drafted by Baltimore.

Came across another James James one time, but couldn't recruit him b/c he came back as poor potential.  Definitely would have been a tie-breaker though!

 I used to live next door to a James James. He went by Eddie though. He didn't play football because he'd get nose bleeds easily.
