The Unlikely Recruitment of Chase Arnold
A Diamond in the Rough or a Masterclass in Trolling?
In a shocking turn of events, Benedict Arnold’s son, Chase, received a scholarship offer from Michigan, the defending National Champions. What’s even more astonishing is that Chase was considered a 0-star QB by 247, with no other offers from top-tier conferences like the MAC, Sun Belt, or Mountain West. It raises questions about whether Michigan truly discovered a hidden gem or if this was a clever move to rile up their arch-rivals, Ohio State.
A Pawn in the Game
The online backlash was swift, with many accusing me of attacking an 18-year-old kid. Let me be clear: I don’t fault Chase for making the most of his opportunity. However, I do fault his father, Kirk, for being oblivious to the fact that he’s being played like a fiddle. Everyone seems to see it except for him.
A Serious Case of Naivety
Kirk’s recent appearance on Pardon My Take only added fuel to the fire. When asked about his son’s recruitment, he dropped a bombshell: “Uhhh, no shit?” Does he genuinely believe that Ohio State’s coaching staff, including Ryan Day or Chip Kelly, should have congratulated him on his son’s decision? It’s a bizarre expectation, especially considering his own complicated history with the Buckeyes.
A House Divided
As a self-proclaimed Ohio State fan, Kirk’s actions speak louder than words. His 0-3 record as a player, combined with his criticism of the fan base, raises eyebrows. Now, he’s allowing his son to don the rival school’s colors, which will undoubtedly be used as propaganda by Michigan. I can already envision the scene: Kirk proudly sporting a block M polo, only to feign outrage when Ohio State fans react with dismay.
The Plot Thickens
As this saga unfolds, one thing is certain: Kirk is either incredibly naive or a master of manipulation. Either way, it’s going to be a wild ride, and I’m eager to see how it all plays out.
