Kevin Hart, a football player at Fernley High School in Nevada, claims someone calling himself Kevin Riley represented himself as a recruiter and offered bogus scholarships in order to dupe families into giving him money.
(Deputy Dan) Lynch declined to say how much money the Hart family paid Riley, or how the purported recruiter kept in contact with Hart and Hodges.
Hart said at the announcement ceremony Friday that he talked many times with Cal head coach Jeff Tedford and that “personal experience” led to his decision to choose the Golden Bears over Oregon.
But it appears he and his family may have been misled.
That’s bullshit. Here’s this young man about to empark on one of the greatest moments in his life and some con artist comes along and steals money from his family. This was supposed to be a great experience for Hart; instead he’ll look back at this situation and remember what a disaster it was. Hopefully police with nab this clown Riley.
Update: Check that, Hart apparently made the whole story up. Now that’s bullshit.
