OT: K-State Recruit charged with five counts of armed robbery
The incident happened in January and he had a prior arrest back in November involving marijuana and had to be tased because he became very aggressive.
How do schools not know or if they did know, why did they continue to recruit him?

For one, the incidents apparently happened less than a month ago and second, he just turned himself in Sunday. I'd be extremely surprised if the coaching staff knew about this before then. In any case, he's not listed as part of the recruiting class. If he ends up being part of the class even after this, then you may have a basis for your comment. Otherwise...

He was arrested for marijuana possession (big whup, I know, but still against the rules and poor decision-making) and resisted arrest to the point that the police Tazed him. Twice. And pulled a gun on him after Taze two because he was still violent. Just this past November. And sure, maybe police occasionally misuse their arsenal, but it doesn't excuse his behavior. So while Snyder may not have known about this new incident, it's to their own discredit that they considered him a commit until this week.

1.) there is a big difference between pot and armed robbery
2.) everyone deserves a second chance.

They can replace him with a Juco transfer. KState are the best at that.
February 6th, 2013 at 9:57 PM ^
K-State is basically a JUCO anyway.

Bet they can't wait for Kiffins class to start transferring out next year, lol. Snyder's probably already recruiting them.

Isn't Bill Snyder in the Big 12?

Only five, not six? Way to half ass it.

How can kids with an opportunity to play football and go to college for free be this stupid? The "he's just a kid" defense doesn't fly for 5 armed robberies.

"The suspects allegedly warned the victims to not call police under threat of retaliation, and that they would be back in a week or two to rob them again." - from the KSHB piece
According to Rivals, he was #4 in the state of Missouri and #29 at his position. What a waste of apparent talent, but a thoughtful waste, however, as evidenced by the above statement.
In all seriousness, he'll likely never play anywhere at this point, of course. All you can hope (best case scenario) is that he can sort himself out over time and make a go of something else. He has sadly wasted an awesome and quite rare (statistically speaking) opportunity.

A triple lindy. I don't quite know how I pulled it off.

My guess, you pressed "save" three times.

So, does this count as 5 Fulmer Cup points, or only 1?

Before I clicked the thread I assumed it was the Kent State Golden Zips. Kansas St. has not registered as a football team for me yet.

Yet? Where've you been the past twenty years? They've had some damn good football teams before 2012.

at Colorado. Like Mark Richt he could quote a Bible verse with the best of 'em, but he recruited some SHAAAAAAAAADY dudes to build Colorado up to be a top program in the late-'80's-to-mid-'90's.
