Alabama OT Cam Robinson, Potential 2017 First Round Pick, Arrested on Felony Weapons Charge
Assuming Robinson is kicked off the team, which Alabama fans expect, this is a huge loss. As the title said he was a potential first rounder, mabe even top 10 pick next year.
One of Alabama's sole question marks for next year was OL and he was supposed to be the anchor. Their line struggled in the spring game with our due to injury and were hoping it would improve once he returned. Alabama will now potentially be starting freshmn at both tackle spots.
Also arrested for a misdemeanor is backup DB Hootie Jones. The main loss for Alabama there is the name.
I see that he was arrested with a less heralded teammate (though he has lesser charges), easy solution for Nick Saban... make an example of the other guy.
Cam should have gone to staee, as Mike D'antonio would have made him miss the first quarter of the first game, at worst. But he would have picked him up from jail and drive him to practice.
Who needs to steal/buy a stolen firearm these days? Go to a store. Also, who needs a firearm if you're a man mountain? Also, why am I wondering WAS IT POT? POT NOT SO BAD. Okay, done here

If you're planning on murdering someone you might not want to use a gun that you purchased legally at a store.
I just inherited three handguns, a rifle, and a shotgun. They will go into a gun safe and not get registered. You know, just in case...
Well, yeah. If you're going to kill hobos for entertainment, don't do it with a registered gun.
If only Alabama had some way of getting money to kids for things like this ...
Should make it easier for us on NYE
Hootie Jones will be the fall guy and say the guns were his alone?
Cris Carter approves....
But the pic to go along with it, perfect!
+1!
Anyone else remember that time that Bobby Bowden was so mad at Peter Warrick that he kicked Lavernius Coles off the team? (And look who had the better Pro career; go figure.)
How on earth was his bond only set at $750?
Because Louisiana.
Robinson will probably get kicked off the team for a felony stolen weapons charge, which is an enormous loss for the Tide. He's a shoo-in first rounder and probably the best returning player on their offense.
The minimum sentence for that charge is 1 year in jail. Even if it gets pled down to a lesser charge he'll probably still get a little time in jail.

This is going to be very interesting to see what Saban does. He has to kick him off the team...RIGHT????
Will someone PLEASE think of the satellite camps???? THE CHILDREN ARE HURTING!!!
And not in AL is probably going to work against these guys, no friendly officers or courtrooms. I will assume that they both get kicked off the team, but then again, one is a first round draft pick. The other is a reserve player. Fall guys gonna fall, and Chris Carter and Ray Lewis are both free for consultation.
Suspended for first quarter of whatever div 2 cupcake they play this year.
Athlon still won't change their lazy-ass rankings.
The Bammers are already out in full force. No, Ronnie, felony stolen weapon charges do not get swept under the rug.
Ronnie is bigger than a douche canoe. He is a "douche frigate." If he keeps going, he may someday become the "Douche Titanic."
You are so profound.
The SEC difference.
The $EC Difference.
$EC Indifference.
1. To the people saying he'll just be suspended for a half. The early indicator is 'he gone'.
2. Read the comments on al.com that has the article. They start with "In Cam's defense, he was so stoned he didn't know the gun was stolen." And it gets better.
The coaches didn't have a way of handling surprise amounts, and only had $750 set aside for something like this.

is anybody doing the Fulmer Cup? Spencer Hall doesn't seem to be doing it, or I just missed it.
Here is the reddit link though:

They all owe Jim Harbaugh a fruit basket. If it hadn't been for Satellite Camps, the headlines would be all about those issues.
They will be suspended immediately and then reisntated RIGHT before practice starts up..like any SEC school , Mork Dantinio and Urban Cryer
I wonder what RDT thinks about this.
The same thing that Wolverine in a Bag thinks.
I think it is very sad that a young man who stands to make millions in the NFL doesn't have someone in his life that will take it upon themselves to make sure he doesn't do something like this. It's fun to laugh at Alabama and Saban, but this is really just a sad situation. Glad he got caught before he did something even more stupid with the gun.
And all too frequent. You would think these guys would just have something inside them that just says this is wrong. I guess I am just too naive. But so many blow their chances for a free education, play football for a big school, chance to maybe play in the NFL and then just piss it away over a stupid decision.
After Bama runs the score up 52-0 in the first half against the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers, those boys will be FORCED to sit out the second half as a suspension. Punishment served SEC style.
Alabama allows open carry by adults but requires a permit to openly carry in a vehicle. I ASSume that is the reason for the charge on the two firearms that were in the open.
The stolen firearm was under the seat, and if I read the report correctly, on the driver's side. I wonder who owns the car. What does the state have to prove to show that Robinson actually possessed the firearm? Assuming it's his car, is that sufficient for possession? Must the state show that he knew or should have been expected to know that the firearm in question was stolen? What if he has a receipt for the firearm in question and the seller can demonstrate that neither Robinson nor the seller knew it was stolen? Are there laws concerning the private sale of firearms in Alabama that if followed would have identified the firearm as stolen? If not is there a mechanism in the state by which either the seller or the buyer could have determined this either before, at, or shortly after the sale?
Unlike some folks I don't presume that possessing firearms is necessarily a bad thing or the sign of thuggish behavior. That said, they were stupid to have firearms in the car in the open and accessible without the proper permits. If Robinson knew the firearm was stolen then he's probably gone and deservedly so.
