Two years ago, amid growing backlash, Justin Combs' mother Misa Hylton went on an angry social media tirade insisting her son deserved his full UCLA football scholarship because he worked hard and earned it [click here if you missed that].
Not really, it turns out…
The former UCLA coach who recruited Justin recently admitted Justin's dad, Sean 'Diddy' Combs, was a major factor in his decision to offer Justin a scholarship.
Rick Neuheisel tells SiriusXM's College Sports Nation,
“When you’re weighing the assets of what a youngster can do for your program, there’s no question (being Diddy’s son) had something to do with it for me.”
“Justin is a great kid. His problem was his size. He’s not big enough to be a dominant player. Could he be productive? Yes. The fact his father was an influential guy played into my decision to go ahead and offer him.”
