really stepped in it. These recruiting site guys can really leave a bad taste in a recruits mouth. I have worked part time for rivals and scout years ago when i was out of coaching and you really have to be careful. This is a screw up that will get you banned from anything to do with OM sports. No press conferences, etc. I know this will piss off Lane to no end.
For whatever happened to have him quote a kid he had not talked to, he then doubles down and calls the kid a liar.
Bad bad look for Yancey.
it's good the kid is mature enough to know that Yancey ans 247 sports does not represent OM Football

I dont know Yancey and just read some of his stuff, but this is something I would have expected from Neal McCready
Just apologize and move on...

Reading a few threads on The Spirit board I am continually amazed at how stupid fans can be. There are actually a LOT of people posting in defense of Porter and saying the kid is a diva/brat for calling Porter out for lying. Said he should call Porter and apologize to him..
Just mind blowing

Yancy Porter is a real piece of work — but from everything I’ve ever gathered he’s Rounsaville’s boy so nothing will come of this more than likely.

This is deeper that Yancey, if Porter is not fired, I will bet 247 sports will not have any access to any OM sports. The owner of 247 sports wont allow that..

Such BS, he was caught inthe lie, the lie was posted to the kids twitter.
Lets play along for a min, if he did have the quote from a "stringer" and the kid admitted in his first tweet about it that he had given Porter his number, then why not call the kid yourself for a interview.
Just a bunch of lies from a seemingly unethical guy.
any of you guys that are members there, go ask that question on why he didnt cal the kid since he had his number. he had his number before he wrote the article.I have seen a lot of questions asked over there, but none gets to the heart of the matter like, if you had his number before you wrote the article, why did you not call him?

If Yancey fabricated a story recently and got caught, how many stories do you think he fabricated in the past and did not get caught? He has always been a bit overzealous with the way he follows recruits. Maybe Kiffin needs to cut him off from team news. Maybe that would teach him a lesson . . . oh, wait, he would just make up more stories!!!

Lane isn't gonna be happy at all about this - when a "journalist" (using that term loosely) starts making recruits upset, then that is hurting the program unnecessarily. Yancy needs to be sent a message that his bullcrap won't be tolerated.
