The bizarre story of Kevin Hart (official fraud)

[MililaniBuckeye]

The kid cracked and admitted that he made the whole thing up.

ESPN - Nevada high school football recruit made up story - Insider

Wow, you think his popularity at school just took a 179-degree nosedive?

I wonder if it was worth the 2 months of convincing people he had the choice of Cal and Oregon......I hope it got him invited to lots of parties

Wow! Just wow!

Either the young man has a severe mental disorder or he's an evil genius.

Things like this usually start as a small little white lie and snowball from there. Probably started innocently like someone asking him where he was going to play next year. I seriously doubt that the kid started with Machiavellian intentions.

thomps, I hope you're OK with my addition to the thread title.

 

[xcrunner]

Damn. You have to feel bad for him now. Obviously it was stupid but I really doubt he expected it to reach this magnitude. Now he's got to deal with some serious embarrassment.

Anyone know what real offers he does have? Hopefully he can still get into a good school and put this scenario behind him.

A spoof of this story should culminate in the line "and Hart later admitted that his tales of future college stardom still failed to get him laid."

No relation to Mike "0-4" Hart?

I think Miami of Ohio is looking at him. He'll be a perfect fit. He can tell anyone who'll listen that he turned down a full scholarship to Cal-Berkeley because he liked Miami of Ohio better.

At least he'll still be playing Public Ivy League ball...

God knows they have the same active imagination. He's going to Cal just like Michigan never loses 3 games in a season.

If this was a little daydream that grew out of control, I do feel sorry for the kid and hope he makes his way out of the situation in one piece.

On the other hand, young Ferris Bueller will probably wind up selling his story for enough to cover college costs anyway.

Cameron: I don't know what I'm gonna do.
Sloane: College.
Cameron: Yeah, but to do what?
Sloane: What are you interested in?
Cameron: Nothing.
Sloane: Me neither!
Cameron: [to Ferris, who's singing on the parade float] YOU'RE CRAZY!
Sloane: What do you think Ferris is gonna do?
Cameron: He's gonna be a fry cook at Venus!

 

[MUBuck]

Sorry, that was my attempt at humor.

Sorry, that was my attempt at humor.

pretty sure OregoneBuckeye was just shaking his head at the whole situation, not your particular post.

Not sure that I personally feel as sorry for the kid as some others. this kid had all the control to put a stop to it before it got out of hand, heck even late in the game when it seemed everyone in the world believed him and it would be hard to turn back...just lie your way out like you lied your way in. Tell them Cal and Oregon rescinded the scholarship offer or you got injured...something.
