As talked about on Monday, you knew this story would make national headlines. Just about every major blog has talked about it and now the Washington Post had an article on it today.

Since we promised to follow this story to the end, here's an update.

California and Oregon definitely did not recruit Hart. And now, Hart is claiming in a police report that a man named Kevin Riley misreprented himself as a recruiter. There's even talk of some money being exchanged.


Here's what the Reno Gazette Journal had to say about the story today:

Hart claims, in a report taken Saturday by the LCSD, that a Kevin Riley falsely represented himself as a recruiter -- a middle man to big-time college football programs -- and led the 6-foot-5, 290-pounder and his family to believe there were scholarship offers available when there were none.


Obtaining money with a false pretense is the charge on the report at this time, said Deputy Dan Lynch, who took the report. Finding Riley could be difficult, though.
"It's an ongoing investigation but we have no suspect at this point and no info to identify a suspect," Lynch said.

So at this point, the story is going one of two ways. Either Hart made up everything from the beginning and he's now made up another story to try to cover his tracks, or Hart was scammed by some loser trying to pretend to be a recruiter.


Stay tuned.
