How About that Kid From Nevada?

And today it all fell apart for the young Kevin Hart. The 18 year old high school senior claimed to have scholarship offers from Cal, Oklahoma State, A&M and Oregon despite the fact he had not gone through the NCAA Clearinghouse he had an official announcement ceremony in front of his whole high school. This morning though he buckled under the pressure of a police investigation and told the truth - he never had any contact with officials from those schools and had made the whole thing up. Looks like Fernley High School just got punked.

Check out the article written in the local Reno paper on the day he made his announcement at school.

My favorite quote is from his high school (obviously) coach. "This is a great day for Fernley High School. This is one young man who is going to represent us on the national level. But we'll always remember he came from Fernley." He should have an interesting rest of the school year.
