Whoa! I dunno if you read that "Un-article" two posts down yet, but USA Today totally changed the link content 15 seconds after I posted it. You SOBs can't just change the content of permalinks whenever you want. People are trying to make fun of you over here. Luckily there's internet caching, or the whole effing world would be unaccountable and think I'm a super ass for not sympathizing with a poor duped high schooler. Come on, based on the original article, he sounds like a fib spinner. Admit it.
Player's recruiting tale turns into a mystery 02/06/08 - 08:05 AM It's unclear whether Kevin Hart was duped or staged a hoax himself. What is clear is that the 6-4, 305-pound offensive lineman from Fernley (Nev.) High School will not be signing with California today -- the first day of the national signing period for football players -- or any other major Division I program.
Hart held a news conference Friday at Fernley, saying he had chosen the Golden Bears over Oregon. He said he'd talked with Cal coach Jeff Tedford "a lot, and the fact that the head coach did most of the recruiting of me kind of gave me that real personal experience." "This guy apparently has no offers," said Bobby Burton, recruiting analyst for Rivals.com. "I've never run across a case like this. It ranks right up there." Hart is rated as a two-star prospect by Rivals, the lowest level of players the service ranks. His father declined to comment when reached by the Reno Gazette-Journal on Monday. "We have not been recruiting him," said California associate media relations director John Sudsbury, who cited NCAA rules that prevent him from commenting further about recruits. "That's all we can say."
An official from Oregon denied having contact with Hart. "We're kind of perplexed. We've not ever heard of the young man," said David Williford, assistant AD for media services. Hart also claimed to have recently taken a recruiting trip to Oklahoma State, but "he doesn't appear to be someone that we're recruiting," associate AD Kevin Klintworth said. The Lyon County School District, in which Fernley resides, issued a release Tuesday that said it has been unable to verify Hart was offered an athletic scholarship or letter of intent to play football at California, Oregon or Oklahoma State.
