Former Howard University star Blake Harper made headlines when he entered the transfer portal following the end of the season. Harper was one of the best HBCU players in the nation and he was sure to have his fair share of suitors when he put his name in the transfer portal. A questionable report from Rob Reinhart on Tuesday claimed that Harper had committed to the University of Maryland.

According to Awful Announcing, the Rob Reinhart account is a troll account that has been spreading false information about college basketball throughout the spring. A quick Google search reveals no evidence of any publications “Rob” has worked for or any articles under his byline.

However, through the Spring, the account has caused several erroneous reports to trend across social media. Harper quickly addressed the report by sharing a GIF to dismiss its validity.
