OT: Auston Robertson has signed his LOI to Michigan State
http://michiganstate.247sports.com/Article/Top247-DL-Auston-Robertson-s…
From an earlier article:
He was arrested Jan. 13 on a battery charge stemming from an Oct. 22 incident at his school. He is accused of improperly touching a female classmate, according to Allen Superior Court 4 records.
Apparantly the charges were dropped.
Whatever, I'm just amused that there's a headline on CBS Sports reading:
Michigan State adds 4-star DL arrested on battery to 2016 class
The local media would probably leave out the two time arrested part.
no longer has a sympathetic Ingham County Prosecuter in their corner. It'll be interesting to see how much this changes the behavior of Hollis, DeAnthony, and Izzo when things can no longer get swept under the rug while the prosecuter is conducting his "business" in hotel rooms.
Huh? Dunnings is a Michigan Grad and he loved to mess with their athletes.

Let's hope he stays out of trouble. That said, the first resisting arrest and misdemeanor charges were dropped and these ones were basically put on probation pending a diversion opportunity, so it isn't like he doesn't have a bit of a track record. I honestly do hope he stays clean going forward, but I also wouldn't be completely shocked if he ran into more trouble at MSU.
He can get wrecked too. The more the merrier for what we are going to do to them this year.
Will the local media trash him like Demar Dorsey?
he should be able to thrive in the felony family environment that is MSU.... my bad.. ment to say friendly.. and my damn backspace button is all jacked up...
Special striped uni's being adorned by Sparty next year.
Funny how the comments on that 247 article think his case was dismissed. They probably also think that means the charges were baseless.
We wanted this kid pretty bad at one time, he's raw, but an elite athlete. Doubt we would have taken a commit from him after the second incident, the first was just horsing around. Second issue seemed more serious, but he was put in a diversionary program. Gives Duh'tonio his first top 20 class at #18.

If he really did get arrested for grabbing ass, he really must have grabbed the wrong ass, like the principal's daughter or something. Because no one gets arrested for that. Suspended from school maybe, but arrested and charged? I suspect it's a little more than that.
I am sure there will be a local media investigation into it.
Just like the reporters sent to Florida to research Demar Dorsey.
How's that investigation into Bullough's steroid use coming along?
I say it every year when someone inevitably gets a DUI: this is the worst part of college sports. Kids make mistakes and do bad things, coaches giving up on them isn't necessarilly helpful to the kid. But that never stops fans of team A ripping on coach of team B for being too lenient. Its insufferable. The worst is Mr "One strike your out" Drew Sharp, who has repeatedly said kids shouldn't get second chances. I dont see him quitting journalism after getting busted for plagiarism, of course.
It seems like a lot of kids have screwed up on Marty Domino's watch at State, and some times I've thought he was a tad lenient. But I'm not aware of many repeat offenders.
I was flipping through an old church misselette and found my favorite responsorial psalm:
(It goes like this)
Fuck MSU. Fuck them all the hell. I don't give a rats ass what that shithole or its asshole fans do.
Funny that MSU fans are under the dilusion that Dantonio runs a clean program. One of Delton Williams's favorite hobbie is to threaten people around campus with guns. He has never been suspended for a single game in his life. They do whatever it takes to win up there in EL.
Replace msu fans with the local media.
There was an actual article written last December saying the program is built on discipline.
They will be praised for giving this criminal a scholarship. It will be a redemption story.
Media is always preachy and thumbing their nose at things when Michigan has an issue. Minick DUi video posted on wesbite, the numerous msu players with Duis - no videos posted.
The comment: The righteous shall prevail was made while still recruiting a kid with two arrests as a jab against Harbaugh-Swenson thing.
Harbaugh, Please curbstomp this joke of a school.

It should be noted that the charges are not dropped. He entered a Plea deal which says if he stays clean for a year, the charges will be dropped.
