(and please, ISU fans try not to attack the messenger)

sounds like he's beating up a girlfriend...
he needs to be dismissed before he becomes the next Bobby Hill but he will get coddled and given more of Taylor Bruninga's playing time.

" ...released from jail late Tuesday afternoon.
According to the statement from an arresting officer, Yarbrough and a former 18-year-old girlfriend,
Tiarra Kindle, were involved in a confrontation at his residence Kingsley Street in Normal in late April..
Yarbrough pursued the woman and, after his phone was recovered, “pushed (the woman) in the back
as she was walking down the stairs, thereby endangering her safety,” said the officer’s report."

Yarbough under court order is "ordered to have no contact with the former girlfriend", 18 year old Tiarra Kindle who also is under an order of protection that Yarbrough filed to keep her away from him.
What does anyone wanna bet that the school & the coach will have little or nothing to ever say about this and Yarbrough will never miss a single minute of playing time.
I hope this puts an end to any weak effort by ISU fans to bring up incidents from 10-12 years ago elsewhere. *

Muller, as expected has said they are going to "handle it internally", meaning they will ignore it. Yarbrough has a court date on May 22 for these charges, but he also already has another court date on May 30 for his prior repeated offenses. Need to build a practice court down on Front St.

[Da Coach]

ISU head basketball coach Dan Muller said "we are aware of the situation and are handling it internally."

I hear Dan Muller is preparing to announce that he will suspend Yarbrough from 5 AM workouts tomorrow morning as a show of severe discipline.


As I have correctly predicted many times before, you can guarantee he will not miss a minute of playing time in a game, and that this likely will not be the last time he is in the news for his criminal actions.

Examples-

In the first game of the 2016-17 season, Muller had the chance to send a message to Deontae Hawkins for his preseason arrest "driving under the influence, illegal transportation of alcohol and driving with a suspended license" which happened just days before the start of the season.
It was not his first run-in with the law. He had multiple prior entries in the McLean County criminal database, along with legal issues in his home town as well.
Instead, Muller announced a meaningless offseason suspension for a couple days, reinstated him before the first game, started him in their first game, and played him 37 minutes, way more than anyone else.

Muller could also have disciplined or suspended D.J. Clayton at the start of the 2016-17 season. He was arrested along with Milik Yarbrough right before the season started for theft and an underaged alcohol violation, but that didn't happen either. Clayton didn't miss any time and played 25 minutes in that first game.

Then Muller had a chance to discipline Milik Yarbrough at the start of the 2017-18 season, for his theft arrest, along with an alcohol violation, and at least half a dozen other entries in the McLean County criminal database that occurred prior to the start of the season (a couple of which are still open cases and for which he has skipped out on court appearances, been arrested, and spent time in jail!), but again, that didn't happen. Yarbrough never missed a second of any game. He started, and played 30 minutes in that first game.

And don't forget 1-year transfer Quintin Brewer. He had 11 cases posted in the McLean County Criminal Database, including 2 separate DUI's! And he only played there 1 year! Yet he never was suspended, and never missed a minute of game time. And he wasn't even one of their better players (2.7 ppg).

Yarbrough's latest case sounds a lot like what ISU's Daishon Knight was charged with back in 2013. Note that Knight also was reinstated to the team prior to ISU's first game and never missed a minute of any game despite pleading guilty to punching a woman and resisting arrest!

And I could continue with the dozens of other player arrests, DUI's, citations, and even serious felony charges involving many of the current and recent ISU players (if anyone wants their names listed again, let me know), most of which never lead to any real disciplinary action or missing any game time.

Thuggery is still rampant at ISU, and discipline is a joke.

Jailbirds gonna jailbird.

Pushing a girl in the back as she's going down a flight of stairs is very dangerous and reckless. I don't care if she took your cell phone.

This is two Class A Misdemeanors (highest class of misdemeanor, punishable up to 364 days in jail) he has pending. Muller has to be feeling some pressure, right?

[tornado]

he was arrested once before in regards to a cell phone

[Mikovio]

Muller's statement today is the exact same, word-for-word, as his statement when Yarbrough was arrested for stealing a cell phone. Did anything come of that?

Yarbrough, also 20, was charged with theft in connection with the same incident involving the iPhone. Yarbrough and Clayton were both released on $5,000 personal recognizance bonds and ordered to be back in court on Nov. 1.

According to ISU Police Chief Aaron Woodruff, the charges relate to a report of a stolen phone in September by an ISU student. Investigators learned the phone was recently reactivated and were able to determine its general location.

Clayton took the phone and gave it to Yarbrough, according to the police chief. The victim??™s wallet also was recovered, said police.

"We are aware of the situation and are handling it internally," said Redbirds coach Dan Muller.

Yarbrough also was cited for underage alcohol consumption last season, but that was barely mentioned anywhere - let alone disciplined by Muller.

Heck, if that happened to one of JL's players, it would be front page news for 2 weeks, prompt allegations of a renegade program, and still be getting brought up 10 years later by the ISU fans...

and don't forget, a 2nd player on the team, Tinsley was just charged in a different county with Domestic Battery - and like Ruffin, he plead down to a slightly lesser charge to avoid jail, is out on bond and still has court dates coming up to complete supervision and has fine yet to be paid.

But as I said, this isn't new - it's been the culture there for decades....
the past couple years they had two guys playing while under felony charges...and it goes all the way back to when Jamar Smiley was charged with Grand Larceny & even faced felony charges in two different states when he stole a car and still played the whole season. When they came to Bradley there were fans who pulled out their car keys and rattled them when he was introduced.

Yarbrough's birthdate is October 30, 1995. He just turned 22.

Counting down 3-2-1... until post goes bye bye

[Da Coach]

From one of his 9 separate entries in the McLean County Criminal Database (available for public viewing by anyone):

Milik Denzel Yarbrough was cited for "ORDINANCE VIOLATION - UNLAWFUL CONSUMPTION OF ALCOHOL" filed July 21, 2016. Case number 2016OV000599.

The case was settled August 4, 2016, which was during last season (the 2016-17 season). So tornado is 100% correct (he was referring to "last season" meaning 2016-17), and so our regular ISU apologists are wrong.

[Mikovio]

Whether it's right or wrong, it says a lot about ISU fan base that their star player gets criminally charged for pushing a girl down the stairs and the first instinct of some is to get mad at................ tornado.

If you look over at Redbirdfan you do see a lot of genuinely concerned posters (including the mod), but also plenty of loony conspiracies and tornado bashing.

Wasn't last season 2017-2018?

Also wasn't that ordinance violation dismissed?

[Da Coach]

We are still in the 2017-18 season, so "last season" was the 2016-17 season.
I am certain that is what tornado was referring to.

And the exact quote from tornado was-
"Yarbrough also was cited for underage alcohol consumption last season"

So he was correct. Yarbrough was cited as I posted above. Just posting facts that are in the public database. Try all you want to obfuscate, but facts are facts.

Was the citation ever mentioned in the news anywhere? Or has Dan Muller ever mentioned it? Or has Muller ever talked about discipline for any of the numerous legal infractions by Yarbrough or all the other ISU players?

[tornado]

Yarbrough's birthdate is October 30, 1995. He just turned 22.

"last season" was 2016-17 and his alcohol violation was when he was transferred to ISU but sitting out
..so it can hardly be denied that it occurred and he was underage and yet, here you are trying to deny that it happened.

But as with most such violations - if he satisfies the court's terms or supervision, then the charge may be dropped...
but oddly when Bradley guys like Ruffin, TCS, WE and others had their charges dropped - the ISU guys still keep hammering away 10 years later!! Hypocrisy, you guys need to be more concerned about the log in your eye rather than the speck in someone else's.

Why hasn't your press or coach addressed the similar charges against Tinsley back earlier this season? Hoping nobody finds out?

two dozen different ISU guys, including Yarbrough, have each single-handedly accounted for more numerous arrests and more serious charges than every single Bradley player combined since the Geno Ford era..and you can probably even throw in the GF & the JL era and it still is no contest. If the minor, since-dismissed ordinance violations by Bradley players resulted in the BS we were inundated with by Wessler (renegade program) then surely these massive, rampant disregard for the law at ISU is worth a small thread on a message board.

I have been extremely consistent even when issues happened here at Bradley- altho nothing here compares to all the stuff at ISU...
I think they need to be disciplined strictly but given a 2nd chance...
HOWEVER 3rd, 4th & 5th chances ought to be exceedingly rare and involve severe discipline.
Guys like Yarbrough commit 3, 4, 5 and MORE serious violations - literally getting arrested and jailed every other month or so...and yet
all Muller ever does is issue the silly "it is being handled internally" BS.

BTW- your star guy last year Deontae Hawkins not only had a DUI, but he then had a 2nd alcohol related violation, plus subsequent arrests for driving on a suspended license and marijuana possession - the latest of which he has never kept his court dates...kind of all the same violations as Yarbrough - but Hawkins started every single game...and the list of others is endless...

PEORIA -- A leading Bradley University basketball player has been arrested on a misdemeanor domestic battery charge.
A Peoria police spokesman says officers arrested Daniel Ruffin at around 5:30 a.m. Saturday at his apartment. The 23-year-old remains in Peoria County Jail awaiting a ruling on bond.
Police say a 20-year-old woman accused Ruffin of cutting her lip as he tried to get her out of his apartment. She was treated at a hospital and released.

[Mikovio]

Maybe something more recent than the Bush administration? I know that might be tough since ISU fans like to live in the Clinton administration...

Ruffin was two regimes ago, and he didn't have the long rap sheet of Yarbrough. Not to mention all of Muller's other character problems (Hawkins, Clayton, Lynch etc etc).
