— John Granato (@johngranato) May 16, 2014 Rice sends letter to QB recruit’s cat, lands QB recruit
No word on if Rice provided the kitten with impermissible catnip benefits or got a bagman to buy it a new scratching post.
Rice got a commitment from 3-star pro-style QB JT Granato this past week, getting a local player who led his high school to an undefeated season last year. How did they get him to make his pledge? By enlisting the help of his feline friend: Per the Houston Chronicle:
According to John Granato, the father of Kinkaid quarterback J.T. Granato, the Owls sent a recruiting letter this week addressed to Kitty Granato ... J.T.'s cat.
...
"As you know we're trying to convince J.T. Rice is the place for him. I know you'd like to keep him close so he can feed you and change the litter box. Please help us to get him to choose us. Paw me if you have any questions."
At the moment, Kitty didn’t need to worry about JT going far -- his only other offer was from Houston, which is also, uh, in Houston -- but clearly, the pitch worked.
