Nevada Player Made It All Up

Lots of stuff to get to today. Let's start with the obvious. The Nevada high schooler who claimed he had been duped by a middleman acting as a recruiter? Made the whole thing. Just wanted to play D-1 ball, he said. Wow. You've got to wonder what comes next.

Hopefully, he can finish out the school year without much commotion - but what lies ahead?
