Curious Case of Kevin Hart
On National Signing Day in 2008, offensive lineman Kevin Hart, from Fernley High School in Nevada, announced in a press conference that he was signing with the California Golden Bears . The Golden Bears however, had never spoke with Hart, nor offered him a scholarship. Hart first claimed that he was duped by an agent, but later admitted that he had made up the offer, as an attempt to lure teams to offer him a scholarship.The New York Times: Lineman Made Up Recruiting Story -
