RUMOR: True freshman NJ WR no longer on team
Knowing this board this may get negged and attacked for being too premature, but the info seems relevant and has some legs so I'm going to post it. Obviously, that being said, it is still a rumor, so grain of salt and all that.
A rumor was started on Rivals, and subseqently reinforced by Scout, that a true freshman at Michigan is in trouble with Harbaugh and on his way off the team. Allegedly this is a true FR WR from NJ and he is in some "Brian Cole"-like trouble.
Since this can apply to two people, I didn't want to name anyone in the title, but the name being thrown out there is Brad Hawkins. Mainly because his twitter profile (link) no longer has any Michigan references whatsoever while Ahmir Mitchell's twitter is still decked in Michigan stuff.
So yes, this is a post about an unsubstantiated rumor with even more inferring don from 18 year olds twitter profiles. Neg away.
Eubanks should be fine. In that vine of Crawford's locker with #1, Eubanks had his own locker ready for him with his custom nameplate.

Could be a Floirda thing. Maybe has to do with graduation dates and the like?
to tape before he's free.
+1 for Toy Story reference.

You know me almost as well as I know myself
But in times like these you sure are an extremely useful sad, strange little man.
Times like these and when we've got an out of control asshole for an Athletic Director that we all want fired. You're pretty damn helpful in those situations as well.
Admitting you have a problem is the first step.
Kudos!
the elusive Dytarious?

Who's the other one?
You're a razor WD.
I'm trying to picture how he is failing multiple drug tests before he even enrolled. Who is testing him and why?
Strange names being tossed about. I didn't read about Hawkins, but someone mentioned Shelton Johnson. I am thinking grain of salt.
Did Scout/Rivals say that it's a true freshman WR from NJ but not name the kid? If so, that's especially shitty to whichever of our two true freshmen WR from NJ isn't the kid in question.

Hey man, who cares as long as we're getting some clicks #Rivals
Except in this case, it was a poster (not a mod) on Rivals that brought up the WR by name, within a thread that was not about this rumor. On Scout, it was a main topic of a post made by a mod, and the name was not given.
and everyone else needs to lighten the fuck up about weed.

what? surely you mean speaking in an English accent?
And that woman was Martha Washington man, and every day George would come home, she would have a big fat bowl waiting for him, man when he would come in the door...she was a hip, hip lady
Wonder if whoever it was that got in trouble heard, "It would be a lot cooler if you did." When asked the joint question one too many times.
Fantastic movie.
Those wooden teeth of his must have been an incredible burn hazard (yes, I know that's just a myth that his teeth were made of wood)
Like the dazed and confused reference.
The founding fathers loved weed.
The founding fathers and I have alot in common then.
Before I make my point I won't speculate that this is the cause for this post and fuel the rumors.
Until it's legalized follow the rules. I don't see the NCAA or NFL changing their stance until it's legal in all states or on a federal level. Whether or not you agree on this position is irrelevant. The problem that I have is this. If the only thing that keeps you from playing college or pro football is your need or desire to smoke weed, then your values and priorities are skewed. I don't smoke weed but I do enjoy drinking (more than most). If you told me that I could play pro ball but had to give it up, I would in a heartbeat. Choices
Exactly. I'm all for weed legalization, but this has to do with rules, not legality.
For example, almost all nurses get nicotine tested now even though tobacco has never been illegal. Want to smoke? find a new career.
They're stupid fucking rules don't get me wrong though.
for 30 years and never heard of a nurse getting tested for nicotine.
Most places near here (Canton/Akron OH area) make you get tested just to be hired in the first place. From there, you're "not allowed" to smoke, though I'm not sure I've heard of anyone being tested for it once they already have the job. I have heard one example of a woman being fired for getting caught smoking in the bathroom at one of the local hospitals, but that's not quite the same thing. I personally know people that haven't been hired after failing the nicotene test as incoming hires, though.
so I can't speak to what goes on there, but in Canada you would never get away with testing someone for drugs use, alcohol, tobacco or anything else prior to hiring. If you tried you would get a discrimination law suit slapped on you so fast it would make your head spin.
The only time time testing prior to hiring is allowed is if it is a bonafide job requirement (i.e. if you are a labourer you may have to do a some form of physical testing prior to hire to make sure you can perform the job).
Honestly, if addiction is an illness you can refrain from hiring someone because of it, at least in Canada. Clearly a form of discrimination.
you understand drug testing and its uselessness. The only thing drug screens regularly turn up is weed because its metabolites hang out in your fat for so long. You can be an active meth addict and pass drug tests no problem. Meth addicts are cops, teachers and bus drivers right now as we speak. Drug tests do one thing and one thing only... make money for those who were smart enough to open drug testing businesses.

but we've strayed far off the course of what makes sense and what is an actual invasion of privacy. I give a shit one way or the other. I smoked a lot when younger and might even today - age 63- if I hadn't burned myself out. However, I knew enough, even at a time when pre-hire testing was not even thought of, to refrain from it during work hours, not because it was illegal, but it would have put both myself and my co-workers in harm's way. It does alter the mind and if your job, by its nature, presents a lot of safety concerns, i.e., heavy equipment, heights, moving machine parts, working as a member of a crew where an altered state by one member presents a danger to the entire crew. common sense should be enough. I worked these type of jobs both prior to college and after retirement from the federal government.
While with the government, there were times me and a buddy would step out into the stairwell and hit the hash pipe now and then. Who the hell were we going to hurt? There are people that can handle it, people that can't. However, I think now almost all are aware they will be tested if they are involved in an accident at work. If being employed is an option for you, rare in itself, then you might have a choice. However, if that employment does present some safety issues, i think the adult approach would be to hold off for 8 to 10 hours.
Personally I enjoyed both getting paid and retiring at age 52. I hold no opinion either way on the legality of smoke. I do, however, hold opinions on conducting oneself appropriately on the job site. The age listed above indicates, obviously, I could be "old school" on this issue because I honestly don't know how the younger workers view this today.
But on a completely different issue; thread title. I am reluctant about pursuing dumb asses as part of our football program.
