In Trouble

Well we missed out on this trouble.

I think Wisconsin is handling it just fine...
the kids should learn their lessons.

According to UW's student-athlete discipline policy, Taylor and Glover will be suspended from competition and practice pending the availability of additonal information.

I wonder if these young adults (they are 18 ) will continue having their education paid for after the "additional information" comes out. I certainly hope not.

Both players have been dismissed and Diamond Taylor has left Wisconsin,
according to this report. That means he is back on the market.
He would be a steal for a mid-major...

If you knew this kid and thought he was worth the chance???

Would you pick him up?

I think that the college coach would have to know him and have an extra scholarship available to use as a "gamble" scholarship. (high risk=high reward) The coach would also have to sit down and talk to the kid and tell him that this is his last chance and that one more screw up and the kid is gone.

just my 2 cents...

Bradley was willing to give Brandon Lee a chance a few years ago, and this kid is much more talented. But I don't see it happening.
He'll probably go to a juco until his legal issues are resolved, then he'll have a lot of schools after him.

He will be a steal if he doesn't get prosecuted first. I want to know, what was he thinking?????

[real fan]

He did the same thing that Luther Head and a few other Illinois players did but they were able to bribe their way out of trouble, I would want to meet with the kid first and get his side of the story before making any decisions on giving him any scholarship offer, but sometimes kids make mistakes and learn their lessons and keep out of trouble the rest of their lives so I would not just rule him out based on one bad decision.

[Da Coach]

According to a reliable source- Illinois State and Evansville are the first 2 schools to call and begin recruiting Diamond Taylor!
I guess the criminal activity doesn't bother Jank!

with only one court case pending, he'll get the goodie-two-shoes award
