Felton Blackwell and Nazir Williams pulled over taken into custody (Daily Campus Link)

Police don't tend to move seats up or back to make you comfortable.

... and hands cuffed behind back makes flexibility a bit less.

Ok, but he fit into the car that was pulled over. Not sure why he wouldn't fit in the police car.

IF, the car had cage, it is almost impossible for someone his size to fit, handcuffed behind his back and not laying across the seat, which wouldn't have been possible with the other kid in there.

Part of me agrees. The other part of me hates to see non-violent offenders have their lives potentially ruined. I'd like to know more about the BB gun

This is the one that most warrants the suspension. Do you need a license for a BB gun? I read in one of the articles that the BB gun didn't have proper neon markings that denote that it isn't a real gun. (Edit: just read that article. Interesting, never heard that before.) Also, while weed and alcohol are nonviolent offenses, they ARE violations of team rules, and Diaco has to hold his players to that standard, even if it's not something that's legally all that wrong. Also, we have to find out whether or not the driver was under the influence of anything. Though there's no evidence of that right now, that would bring the offense to an entirely different level.

Guess Blackwell was dismissed from UConn

Another Diaco recruit that won't ever play a snap...

Compared to the PP regime, very few Diaco recruits have not made it to campus or were dismissed.

Maybe so but the the top recruits in their respective classes end up not coming (Rose, Ulizio, Ryslik, Pettus-Dixon). Blackwell wasn't a headliner but was going to be vital in replacing Mikal Myers.

Agree that with Blackwell and Ryslik gone, DTs are in short supply.

Trey Blackwell was dismissed from school by student conduct code violations according to Diaco in today's presser. This kind of stuff is out of the Athletic Department's hands.
