In response to rbg
A couple of other crazy transfer stories:
Rob Hodgson (mid-90s). He kept people thinking he was going to come to Penn from Indiana, eventually transferring to Rutgers.
Desmond Cambridge (last year). He announced his final schools were Vanderbilt, Stanford & Virginia Tech. Then, he trimmed it to Vandy & Va Tech and said he would make an announcement at the end of April. After about a week of silence, he announced he was transferring to Nevada.
I don't remember the recruit or the school involved, but a coach of a rival school intercepted a recruit who was changing flights at Denver International and the kid never showed up in Texas, which is where he was supposed to go.
And go back nearly 40 years to the "recruitment" of Akeem Olajuwon. He arrived at JFK and the St. John's coach who was supposed to show up did not. Akeem had tickets for three other cities, Providence, Louisville, and Houston so he asked a Nigerian baggage handler which one had weather similar to Nigeria and the guys told him to go to Houston. UH didn't even know he was coming nor that he was 7 feet tall.
