Jalen Arrested for Scooter Accident

Hahahaha you've got to be kidding me. It's going to end up not being a very big deal... But

This kid was a highly touted recruit, now in his junior year. His future depends on how well he does this year. And he pulls shenanigans like this the day before opening night, one year after they embarrassed themselves to a lesser team on opening night. Idiot.
 
.-.
Doesn't this kind of stuff happen almost every day on every large campus? He shouldn't have left the scene though. I guess that's the worst issue. Kids being kids.
 
Yeah if worse case scenario, he would probably fly out later that day, court is usually early on in the AM, so I don't see any issues getting him out to Oregon
 
.-.
Holding him out for the first half is an option as well. We absolutely need to win our 1st 3 games

All the players who ride those things are wackos. Every day I see them blowing through stop signs, doing dumb stuff on them, etc. If I was Ollie I might ban them - seriously. This will not be the last accident one of the players are involved in.

Agreed they drive like idiots on them all over the place. Watched Anderson almost take someone out near the Union the other day
 
I do a lot of criminal work (not in CT).
1st, he has been arrested.
Not convicted.
Yeah yeah, he probably did it, but I have plenty of cases come through the door where the guy is legitimately innocent.
Keep in mind that, if Jalen was stoned or drunk, then leaving the scene probably gave him the best legal result. Not offering moral guidance here, but "leaving the scene" when there is only property damage or no damage almost always carries less severe penalties than a DUI.
I live out in the sticks. If a guy trashes his car on the side of the road, drunk, all he has got to do is leave the scene for 2 hours and no blood/breath test will be admissible.
In my state any motorized vehicle on the road will get you a DUI. Have had plenty of 4-wheelers and such.

If nobody was hurt, I consider this minor and not news worthy.

Give the kid a bowl of JMAC, a slap on the wrist, and let him get back to life.
 
And he definitely needs to be suspended. Even if it’s for a half. Coach Ollie has an obligation as the coach.

Ummm... “Adams admitted to engaging in a race with three other drivers before crashing the scooter and leaving the scene.”

That seems problematic.

He probably doesn't even have to be there as long as his lawyer shows. His lawyer will ask for a continuance and that will be that. Probably will pay fine and be done with it

Ah. Shucks. Never talk to the police if you're even remotely capable of being charged. Never.
Racing can be a crime as well. Not sure whether they were on a street or what . . .
 
Update to come from Ollie in under 30 minutes whether he plays or not tomorrow.

Never pay a fine for a misdemeanor as it becomes a conviction. Either try to get it subbed to an infraction and pay an infraction fine or try to get an offer to pay a charitable donation in exchange for a nolle.

If I had to guess, he's not going to play tomorrow. UConn has a culture they have to follow regardless of the player. Ollie has sat players before for missing a curfew.
 
Could be worse. Hopefully its only a 2-3 game suspension. This could benefit us though looking at the positive side. The other players will HAVE to step up now, could be great or shoot us in the foot.

Next... "Witnesses on scene said the four men were racing while heading south on Hillside Road near the intersection with Gilbert Road" (Essentially the center of campus right past Gampel)

Maybe slick Rick P can arrange the fine payment for JA

Scratch my suspend for a half. He should get at least a game. Got to be kidding me with this garbage, he should know better.
 
Anybody have a photo of the type of "scooters" the kids are all driving around like dicks on? I didn't consider myself that old but I can't picture this

They are mopeds and a lot of the players have them. Some women's basketball players have them too.
