Michigan football commit Kyle Kalis talks about the whirlwind surrounding his recruitment
When former top-ranked Ohio State recruit
Kyle Kalis jilted the Buckeyes and committed to the
Michigan football team last week,
ESPN quoted him as saying, ?I believe the Michigan-Ohio border is open? for recruiting.
It created a buzz.
Now Kalis, a five-star offensive tackle from St. Edward High School in Lakewood, Ohio, told AnnArbor.com on Wednesday he is unhappy with how he was portrayed in the media.
?The only thing I?ll say about that border thing is that I never actually said it (that way), even though Michigan fans have been messaging me, saying it?s the greatest ESPN quote of all time,? Kalis texted AnnArbor.com.
ESPN quoted Kalis as saying: "I believe the Michigan-Ohio border is now open. I think you're going to see eight or nine guys from the state of Ohio going over to Michigan this year."
Kalis said the quote is accurate, although it wasn?t meant to sound like he ?was trying to get back at Ohio State.?
?I said that there used to be a sort of border between Ohio to Michigan and that for whatever reason you?re gonna see a handful of guys make that jump that they usually wouldn?t,? he said.
