Here’s a truly incredible story from the college football recruiting trail. Kevin Hart, an unheralded OG from Fernly High in Nevada, held a press conference to announce that he had accepted a scholarship offer from Jeff Tedford to play for Cal. Local media turned out as well as half the school to see the announcement. One snag: Tedford had never spoken to Hart, nor was Cal interested. It seems that someone was impersonating him as well as Mike Sherman from Texas A&M and other coaches in phone calls. Police are investigating. Full story. H/T: BRB
From the way I read it, the only one they confirmed was a prank was Cal. Why would someone want to impersonate Texas A&M?
Why would someone want to impersonate Cal?
I think it’s highly unlikely Sherman was interested in this kid. Have you seen the kind of talent he’s targeting? Really strong.
Ouch. That’s gonna leave a mark.
he’s dealt with huge public embarrassment and had his inordinately high hopes dashed out from under him. he already has a big part of what it is to be an aggie.
Here’s much more on the story.
Good stuff, Chris.
and it finally comes out: He made it all up
Wow. An Oprah moment.
