Recruiting hype

I guessing that in a big majority of press releases about new recruits there is a line something like this: "He is a fine person and comes from a great family." Well, we hope so. That definitely would be best. But you wonder, if that is true, why seemingly so many of them (although a small number as a percentage) get into trouble with the law or the coaches. Wouldn't it be funny to see a press release: "He is one step away from being a thug and his family is totally disfunctional, but he is a great basketball player, so we recruited him."
