Please read WP:EXTERNALLINK and understand why you additions have been removed as they were breaking the page without the use of proper citation style, such Template:Cite web. Also, in order to meet WP:GNG, the sources required for Matt Hart (basketball) to be kept need to be of significant depth from independent source. The NY Times article has one paragraph on him in an article about many people (the article could be enough for Chris Flemmings). The SI article is just a list of predictions, no depth of coverage and does not appear to very encyclopedic in content and difficult to integrate on the player's article (it would end up being something to the effect of "Some analysts predicted he would be a breakout scorer in his redshirt senior season, but he would only increase by 0.3 points per game").
