OT - Nu'Keese Richardson & Mike Edwards dismissed from Vols

Submitted by MinorforPresident on
Sounds like they played the major roles in the robbery and Janzen Jackson may have been with the wrong people at the wrong time. Nonetheless these two are finished at Tennessee. Way to ruin your careers before they start fellas. Full story here: http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=4660351

And how many people can say that they've been in the same shower room with Jesus? That would be a story to tell the grandkids. I can imagine that conversation right now. "So, kids, you wanna hear the story about how I showered with Jesus back in Aught Nine?" "Mommy, mommy...granddad's telling naked stories!...again."

I don't think this had anything to do with Jackson's 5 star ranking or his quality of play. If you listen to the accounts given by the victims, all that we know that he did was walk up to the other two players and tell them it was time to leave. Maybe he was in on the plan or maybe he didn't know that the robbery was going to happen at all. It is fair enough for Tennessee to suspend him, but keep him on the team, until they get all of the facts.

B is right, Jackson is not in the clear, he is still suspended from team activities. In the case of Richardson and Edwards there was enough evidence of wrong doing to kick them off. Jackson's roles isn't as clear, so he is being investigated.
