Report: Buckeye Jaamal Berry arrested
CFFinsider Staff
June 11, 2009 - Florida's CBS4 is reporting that Ohio State star running back recruit Jaamal Berry has been arrested on marijuana possession, though little more information is available at this time. A search of the Miami-Dade Clerk's website confirms this arrest.
Berry, out of Miami Palmetto, is one of the more highly-regarded incoming recruits in the country, though this could certainly hinder things.
---------------------------------
While this is not a huge blow to the Buckeyes as it would be to, say, losing your star running back after he files a falsified police report for those items stolen out of his 'borrowed' dealership SUV... it should be a minor blow to the OSU depth chart. Then again, when your starting QB is also your starting RB, FB and is an overall DB, maybe you don't need a depth chart at that position.
Though this is not something Michigan fans can act like has not happened in the past, it does speak to the issue that certain teams are capable of recruiting athletes at a certain maturity/legality level. Every team is facing a loaded gun, sometimes literally, when it comes to a star prep athlete who has been showered with attention. That these student athletes then go off and do something dumb is not shocking but, rather, can lead one to miss the days when regional dynamics led to a 3-4 coach shuffle on where a player might go and not the circus it has become today.
Sweater vest's calm disappointment to follow...
Is this news? I thought this sort of thing was just par for course down there.
Just like Grady and Baraka. We don't like it anymore than you do - but don't be that ignorant about it.
He's a State fan
you bring up every WR State has ever had. Seriously, with every fan base, it's easy to throw stones at them, including our own.
some of us avoid the msg board like the plague. also it runs the risk of not being seen lower off the 'above the fold' of the main page
aka 'meh'

Just to get the point across
this is news to me
...however I see him as a 18 year old who can learn from this experience...and simply go forward with his head held high.
Other than that...eff the buckeyes...really!
Also, Alex Boone got arrested a while ago.
Also, Alex Boone does power hours with entire beers instead of taking a shot of beer every minute.
The more this is posted the more the Buckeye fans can't dismiss it! :)
he will just keep taking classes while he's in there. I heard OSU put some faculty there to conduct classes since so many of their student body spends time in it.
Also another plus for him: he will get a chance to experience being raped in The Big House before any of his other classmates do.
he belongs to one of the two schools that is made of teflon when legal/illegal things happen. We all know as long as it is OSU or USC the NCAA or the law in general will turn a blind eye/deaf ear to it, unless the problem is so obvious they HAVe to do something. Clarrett was one of those cases, Pryor, Bush and others are not.
Am I bitter that those two schools seem to skirt the law constantly, while dominating their respective conferences...hel yeah I'm bitter. The way things are going, it's not who really runs the best program, but who can cheat the best and who can pull the right strings to cover it up. It seems Michigan doesn't have those strings, or better yet, has some integrity. Which, of course, cost the basketball program seven years of hell.
Alabama is getting dinged for something that seems relatively insignificant compared to the like of Reggie Bush and USC or whatever the Vest is doing down south.
It only took a couple of hours for bitter, slappy Michigan fan to show up. I guess you don't care that we won the Rose Bowl and a share of a MNC with a player (Charles Woodson) who took gifts and money from an agent, huh?
Also, what the fuck did OSU do wrong with Pryor?
Did you miss the business with the Corvette?
What "business" with a corvette? The owner of said corvette was a graduate of Penn St. , I believe. What did that have to do with the Bucknuts? Some of you need to get a grip.
Preferably around the neck.
Having integrity is not turning yourself in. Having integrity is NOT BREAKING THE FUCKING RULES IN THE FIRST PLACE.
Why the FUCK would Pryor go the dullest offensive mind since anyone coaching the Lions? How many NFL QBs have the suckeyes produced? Do you think he went there so he could showcase what a great throwing QB he is? If you answered yes to either of the last two questions, you need your head examined. Every school gives players little extras, but corvettes, homes for the family and SUVs and large amounts of cash are not little gifts.
At best Pryor will become the next Vince Young in the NFL - a zero. If you can't throw the ball with power and accuracy you have no chance, ask Joey. There's a reason Brett Favre is still talked about in NFL circles. Just like there's a reason no Steve Spurrier coached QB has ever been even decent in the NFL. Arm strength and accuracy. Brains help.
If you think OSU and/or USC are clean, you're smoking something really good.
you need a time out.
go to the corner and think about what you've done.
you can have your rattle again when you've calmed down.
You = Perfectly Sane Individual
Yep.......
Is this really that important. UM has had its fair share dumb kids who got involved with the law (Grady, anyone...), but in the pantheon of thinks to rail against OSU, this is pretty minor. This is the type of post I expect to read about in the Freep or a Spartan blog with 900 1-line posts with words like "scUM" and "Walmart Wolverine" littered throughout.
