Crazy recruiting letter

I didn't know whether this had made it over yet but I ran it by my brother Kyle and he thought you boys might enjoy it. Recently NC State hired a new director of player personnel and he took a whack at some fresh tactics. One of their recruits posted this via twitter. This is certifiable. Enjoy!

Fixed that for you.
I was playing off the "This place is unreal bro!" sentence in the letter, which was my favorite one.

Even if it doesn't work, the school is definitely generating some buzz. I actually had a player from my school sign with NCState this year, but that was obviously before this new Director of Player Personnel was hired.

Maybe it's just me, but when I was 17, I would have instantly crossed any school off my list that called me 'bro' that many times in a letter. But still maybe not as bad as RR's fake old west wanted posters from Arizona...

If you look at the picture you can see some of the letters cut off the page. This either means that it is a very poorly done copy or a complete fake either way, I think it makes NCState look stupid... But that may just be the old man in me.

Lol. I was thinking along the same lines but I came up with Mitt Romney trying to endear himself to a group of young black people by singing "Who let the dogs out." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FDwwAaVmnf4

Holy crap, you're right. That is a copy sent out that I am sure they just left the name portion open. It would be awesome if all the recruits that received that letter posted pics of it.

Sounds like its written by a middle schooler.....If I was making a college decision and I received that letter. I'd toss it and immediately stop considering that school.

I've never seen that video before. Romney is a total POS.

Another thing, I'm not exactly sure when the term "balling" became a different euphemism. But in my day, balling meant getting busy between the sheets if ya know what I mean.

Not that it's surprising, but this picture was also uploaded, which made both players (and a bunch of others on instagram) realize that it may not be super genuine.
