Especially when it's a family friend he got the summer before his freshman year. Had he just left it at family friend it may have been less obvious, but the summer before you start at OSU you get a loan from someone you basically just met?When I hear "family friend," I don't think of someone you've coincidentally only known since you were about to sign with a big time program as a 5 star recruit. Could be legit, but the specific timing of how long the family friend has been a family friend is pretty sketch.

Yeah, the explanation seems more like a need to come up with some excuse and not well thought out in my opinion. I don't know if he got his hand caught in the cookie jar, but the explanation is questionable at best.And how many friends of the family, or outright family members for that matter, have any of us considered giving a “loan” to their HS or college age kid? Are there lots of people in the habit of giving loans to friends? Seems like a desperate excuse to explain something that shouldn’t have been offered or accepted. Oh well, I’m sure tOSU has plenty of 4* and 5* players to replace him and he’ll be okay with his pro career.
1-2 games would be Maryland and Rutgers. That seems ... convenient.
