It’s pretty laughable that Lincoln Riley said recruiting in California remains priority No. 1. You think he has visited Mater Dei or any top high school in Southern California much in the past 6-7 months? If Riley wants to bend the truth, he needs to win some games because people are less forgiving with your act when you lose games. He prefers Georgia.

Lincoln Riley said today that recruiting in California will always be a top priority for him and his coaching staff. That will probably come as news at Mater Dei and some other high schools.
