If that is the case then things have changed. Graduated in 98 and had several friends do essentially the same thing (only were caught and determined to have been drinking heavily) only to be fined and forced to take mandatory training.

He clarifies it seven posts prior to your post.

Great kid, bad decisions. He will serve a short suspension, then be a model citizen thereafter. Wake up call to the whole team.

Suspend the exhibition and opener

That’s enough to drive home the lesson. He misses quality time playing with his teammates. People on here saying he should miss the Florida game or the whole month of November are being ridiculously harsh.

This kid just left high school, it was a Friday night after winning his first college dunk contest. Girl prob called him over to her dorm room and he had to borrow a car or something

There is nothing serious here, have some sense of his situation and suspend him 1 to 2 games for a mental lapse and move on

What would JC do ?

“...several times”. If Bouknight has multiple offenses then maybe but can’t imagine that’s the case.

If I'm Bouk this hurts more than anything.

Exactly. Commented this to McLovin.

A great idea crossed my mind. When someone sees an irritating post they should....

I wonder if I received the first dislike response as a result of that thread.

... and this:

Hurley is so up front about being a hardass and I love that about him

 

[gtcam]

And to think KO and JC were accused of being unable to control players actions 24/7

 

[McLovin]

The salient point is suspension for repeated offenses.

This is a valid point.

Was Jalen Adams really involved? It got a little confusing with two different Jalens. If it was Adams, he needs to be banned from campus.

The incident was at 1:30 am on Friday 9/27. First Night was 10/18.

Anyway, what's the point of speculating what he was doing? Those are big assumptions. Could have been at the library studying and was going to Wawa to get something to eat. Who knows what the ----- he was doing.

Child does dumb thing in first weeks of college. More at 11.

Yup. I did something stupid my first weekend as a freshman and got in trouble with campus police. Somehow my coach didn’t find out about it but it scared me enough to not get in trouble again. James should be fine. I think he will definitely be suspended for the first game at least though.

This will end up a big nothing-burger. Sit for a game and move on.

If this proves to be the case;
Would the "penalty" ramifications be the same for a non athlete?
The kid was diving without a license, speeding, reckless driving, destruction of public/private property and evading responsibility
And some say the cops were piling on and some feel this should be swept under the carpet
If I were coaching I would have suspended him now and if it were my kid I would have him home for a real sit-down. My children played college sports and I coached for nearly 30 years - and no, I am not old school.
What JA did is not even close
I feel for Bouknight but if he doesn't feel the pain through a just penalty he will never realize the stupidity of his actions
Oh I screwed up when I was his age and believe me I paid in a major way

Would be most unfortunate to crash in the first two minutes of what would have been about a three hour drive to the nearest Wawa.

I got away with a lot of stuff when I was his age. I hope he learns from this and grows as an adult and represents himself well going forward. These types of things really do force a reality check no matter who you are. Unfortunately for him he has a big responsibility in representing the University, it’s a big responsibility for a young adult. I hope it works out well for him and Hurley mitigates it appropriately to everyone representing the men’s basketball program.

Exactly. We all did really stupid stuff at his age - big difference is we didn’t have the world watching us. And thank god for that!

If we just had hookers in the dorm the kids wouldn't have to drive ...

Tired of losing. We need all hands on deck. No one died. Let him play no suspension. If it happens again then time to react.

 

[JB75]

Suspend for exhibition and opener. Bring him back for game before fla. Of course espn amping a minor story up as usual. God, how annoying has espn become the past few years?
