Oakland offered Matt O'Reilly, according to his own Twitter account. He is a 2015 shooting guard out of California. It appears we were his first D-I offer. There is a highlight video at the link: verbalcommits.com/players/matt-o-reilly

Did Oakland offer the first scholarship to a budding ... commercial actor? I think Matt O'Reilly is the star of a Dicks Sports commercial I've seen at least a few times this week. I've seen two very similar ones from Dicks: one about a basketball player (the Matt in question) and one about a lacrosse player, both very good commercials that show how sports matter for creating character. Check it out:
First, the commercial says his name is "Matt" and he is a shooting guard. Second, he looks just like the dude featured in the video on the verbalcommits.com page linked in the first post of this thread. This is unreal!
I think there is no doubt this is the same guy. I'm sure there is some acting going on there, but either way Matt seems like he would be a good character kid.
