This is Denzel Nkemdiche, Robert's brother. He's a senior LB at Ole Miss graduating this year, but he already left the team earlier this year when he was put in the hopsital for unspecified reasons.

This is a different Nkemdiche than the one who fell off a roof a few days ago. This is not the future first round draft pick. However both him and his brother have had a lot of problems this past month, a lot of it allegedly stemming from their use of spice (synthetic marijuana).

Wrong Nkemdiche...it's his brother. But still. I'm sure that family is going through a lot right now. Prayers to them and hopefully things get straightened out for the family soon.

There are clearly some substance abuse issues in that family, and that is no joke, it is a tragedy. I hope they BOTH find a way to get help...

As said above it's his brother, but it appears both of them have some issues. I hope things work out the best for both of them and that they can overcome whatever issues they're dealing with.

As much as I hate the SEC, and while what you say certainly could be true, it is virtually impossible for anyone - including direct family members - to stop people with drug problems from doing drugs. So Freeze is probably a douche, but I doubt you can blame him for this...

Showering a family with whatever they want, giving people jobs, etc. sends a message that you can get away with whatever the fuck you want so long as you are good at football.  While I'm not saying Hugh Freeze caused the kids to do drugs, enabling them certainly didn't help.  You think either of these dudes got through their 3 or 4 years at Ole Miss without failing a drug test?

Synthetic marijuana is misnomer and gives the impression it is at the same level of real weed. A better term is synthetic cannabinoid. The important thing to know here is there is no quality control or consistency with this drug. You are never sure to know exactly what you are getting and the effects can be really unpredictable.

So yes, the devil.

motor oil is the same as cooking oil.   we had this discussion about a week ago.   synthetic marijuana is simply dangerous and untested drugs sprayed on a plant material, and that plant material isn't marijuana either.

very scary stuff.   have friends who's kids have fried their brains with the stuff.   bad ju-ju man.
