OT: Zach Brown arrested again

[yukonyc212]

Poor kid needs some help. Think you could tighten that look up Yukon?

He looks like a hunts point cross-dressing street walker. I'm not totally convinced that's actually him. I think photoshop was in play here.

 

[yukonyc212]

Maybe he got to jail and needed friends??

You're wrong. This is just sad, the kid is a wreck.

The quote on the article by the writer is "what a drag".

Yes, what's your point? It's called a play on words. He's dressed in drag while getting arrested again so, "what a drag for him."

Yup I know... just pointing out that the writer clearly noticed his drag getup as well. Why is everything a point of contention with some of you guys on here.

How much you wanna bet the righteous rabbi is no longer in the picture?

 

[Mr. French]

Wowzers ... I'm hoping he's got makeup on as a costume for his "robbery" but no matter what, he's got real issues.


I hope he gets his life straightened out, forget basketball for now.

 

[80shusky]

oh my what a shame. I hope someday he finds his way again.

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

What the hell

 

[Stinger92860]

Wow, it's up to him how he wants to live his life, but he needs guidance and help finding his own way. I feel bad for him.

 

[SirHypeAlot]

oh my god...

 

[UChusky916]

Yikes...

Bullet dodged by KO. Hope the kid can get the help he needs.

 

[joober jones]

A 7'1'' drag queen isn't going to be very convincing. That's the least of this poor kid's problems though. Whatever problem he has is a very serious one and I hope and pray something is done about it soon.

 

[don356]

Maybe he's going to become a decathlete!

Kid has had multiple offenses.
His first off the court offense was for purse snatching and credit card fraud (probably using card from stolen purse). Originally arrested for arm robbery but that was dropped. How does one get charged for purse snatching and armed robbery? Was the charge incorrect to start with or dropped for lack of evidence? Anyways I read armed robbery and thought it was a B&E and didn't realize charge had been dropped.
Second charge was for stealing from open unattended till.
New arrest for failure to appear in court for driving tickets.

Bad pattern that means this kid can be heading down a bad path. But more punkish than mentally sick as currently stands. Similar to Caron's history. Hope he can turn things around.

Thank goodness for St. Johns. They get the negative publicity and not UConn.

To think this kid could have been a drag at UConn.

Maybe he's going to star in Juwanna Mann 2

 

[Travelman6]

Stupid kid, how can you mess up this many times?

Agreed. Zach is the only one in control of his behavior.

 

[yukonyc212]

Very underrated movie.

 

[RipCity]

I think we should give him one more chance.

KO or Geno?

Kid needs to go to school in Montana or somewhere far far away. Its getting ugly quick and he needs help. Basketball should not be the priority.

Well, maybe not Montana. The store owner might keep a gun behind the counter!

 

[huskyinfl]

Crazy how if he had just held if together for a few years and went NBA or Europe/China, he could have enough money to live the rest of his life in drag and have a good lawyer for when he wanted to go on crime sprees.

So was he taken in by a different family? From the documentary video a while back, his family was a white Jewish dad and his son.
Who's the "brother" that robbed the store with Zach? Is that his biological brother?

Yes, it's his biological brother who I believe is also 7 ft tall.

 

[UCweCONN]

I didn't want to say this earlier when we were recruiting him but I saw him play several times at Putnam Academy and there was something feminine about him. I couldn't articulate my words back then. The word that comes to mind is 'lithe'. He just had strange body language.

 

[huskyharry]

Transgender male-to-female athletes are now permitted by the NCAA. He could dominate women's hoops!

 

[husky429]

So much for the "mentor" family, huh?

Sometimes these kids really get taken advantage of by "mentor" types and it's really quite sad.

I can't imagine the help this young man needs if he's getting multiple arrests and showing up in drag... feel bad for the kid.

From Rivals board on Brown's former guardian...

His one time guardian, Michael Lipman reportedly severed ties with the kid after his Memorial Day arrest in 2016. Brown then reunited with his brother and mother. Once that happened everyone in South Florida pretty much knew how the Zach Brown story would end.

That is sad if true. I remember watching that short documentary and it seemed like he was very close to that family and they were basically all that kid had.
