OTish- Asiasi suspended for UCLA 1st game.

Submitted by BryRich3 on

Looks like Asiasi as well as a few others including his close friend Boss Tagoloa were suspended for violation of team rules. I really hope he has a good career. I like Asiasi a lot.

Well then there are and have been a fuck ton of idiots on our team then! Fact!

I spent a little time with Devin when he was here and he was ALWAYS laughing and smiling. Now I know why! Haha. Ok, well actually part of it was he was listening to comedy on his headphones instead of music like everyone else. Yes, really.

I never smelled weed on him though in the few times we met

UCLA will kick off the new college football season and the first game in the Chip Kelly era a bit shorthanded. On Monday, UCLA suspended six players for the season opener this weekend against Cincinnati for what is simply being reported as a violation of athletic department policy. Tight endDevin Asiasi, running back Soso Jamabo, defensive linemen Osa Odighizuwa andMoses Robinson-Carr, defensive back Mo Osling, and offensive lineman Boss Tagaloawill all sit out of UCLA’s home game against Cincinnati on September 1.

I looked up Colt Lyerla's stats since that is the only TE I remember. He played 3 seasons (2011-2013 *2013 was Helfrich). 

In 2 seasons under Kelly he had 32 receptions for 540 yards. 11 TDs rec and 1 TD rushing.

In 2011 Lyerla and Paulson combined for 38 receptions for 585 yards and 11 TDs.

From the UCLA beat writer for the LA Times, the complete list:

SOMEWHAT OT: If Wilton Speight starts for UCLA against Cincinnati in their opening game, he would become the starting QB for two different teams in non-conference games against Cincinnati in consecutive seasons. LINK1 LINK2  He also could gain the added distinction of becoming the first QB who played for Michigan to have two wins as a starter against a team directed by Head Coach Luke Fickell.

MORE SOMEWHAT OT: Speaking of former Michigan players who transferred to schools in the Golden State, Moe Ways might be starting at wide receiver for Cal, although Ian Bunting may be only second team at tight end for the Golden Bears. LINK  And Moe has some nice words to say about his summer-workout partner, Wilton Speight.

The two were reportedly caught pushing over buildings and terrorizing the public in downtown LA until a group of five teenagers with magical powers were finally able to subdue them through teamwork and witty banter.  Reportedly, the five teens were able to become more self-aware, empathetic, and all around better people in the process.

I thought Asiasi was our best freshman in his one season with us, and still wonder how much better our OL and offense would be now with his rare combination of power and speed at TE.

It's gotta be tough playing college football in California, where recreational weed is legal, same as alcohol, but still stigmatized as a social norm. And weed in no imaginable way is a performance enhancing drug, quite the opposite. Having said that, I'm being presumptuous to assume that was the issue for Asiasi and his Samoan bros at UCLA.
