Jon Scheyer's prankee speaks

In the moments after Duke had won the national title, Jon Scheyer seemingly got a bit carried away with the moment. He tweeted "Holler at me" and what was believed to be his cell phone number. When he asked fans to stop texting him 20 minutes later, it made it seem all the more likely that he had tweeted out his own number. (Full disclosure: I absolutely called the number after the national title game.)

Of course, we found out later that the number wasn't actually Scheyer's, it was the number of a high school friend of his. Hilarious, right?

Anyway, the point I'm getting at is that Asylum.com finally caught up with Scheyer's buddy. His name is Zach Kelly and he plays basketball for Washington University in St. Louis.

The high-school teammates are apparently still close. "Jon and I are good friends, and he's a prankster pulling stuff all the time," Kelly said.

Zach and some of his friends were hanging out at a hotel when his phone starting to ring. "From that point on my phone was just inundated with calls and texts from people that I guess follow him on Twitter," Kelly said. "It was anyone from die-hard fans, to people saying congratulations and some University of Maryland fans."

People really despise those Duke Blue Devils sometimes. Did anyone go overboard?

"There was some vulgar stuff, but nothing too crazy," Kelly explained. "People being idiots and thought it was funny to take advantage of it. Regular fan stuff. It was just really annoying for me. For my friends it was funny, but for me it was annoying since I couldn't use my phone for a while since it was so backed up."

Hate Jon Scheyer if you want, but that was a damn good prank.
