Did Veiled Threat Connecting KKK And Clemson Steer Recruit Rashan Gary To Michigan?
ANN ARBOR - Was a threatening phone call the factor that tipped the scales for a high school football recruit?
According to a story over the weekend from the website North Jersey, Michigan football recruit Rashan Gary got a racist voicemail message which referenced the Ku Klux Klan from someone calling himself a 'Clemson' fan, before Gary made a recruiting trip to the school.
"If you're coming down here, you gotta do just like the KKK and be serious about your football. Clemson and the KKK, the two things we love the most," was in a message left at Paramus Catholic for Rashan Gary before the top H.S. football recruit committed to Michigan on ESPN.
The message was left at Gary's high school the day before he was visiting Clemson.
In the story, Gary says that call wasn't a factor in his decision to choose the Wolverines over Clemson.
