Rysheed Jordan Release

[quote="Paultzman" post=365405]https://twitter.com/johnnynationsju/status/1200862898698014721?s=21[/quote]

Just in time for the 2nd semester.
 
how much time was he originally rented too ?

Hopefully he gets his act together
 
Serious question: Can we offer him a scholarship even if he’s done time?
He is scary talented, one of the saddest stories we’ve had, but just imagine if it could be turned around with our help.
 
For him to get a degree? Or to play? He's played for money.

I can't see either happening

Hope he gets it together but has a long road ahead.

I meant to play. But I forgot that he had played for money after SJU. Too bad.
 
Father Rock kept in touch with Rysheed throughout this ordeal. Will keep the young man in Prayer and hope that he uses this as a Learning Experience. Wishing him the best as he attempts to put this chapter of his life behind him.

You don’t believe in second chances?

I don’t believe he was actually convicted on attempted murder. And we need a point guard.
Hey, my bar is lower than yours, what can I say.

Your bar is quite a bit lower that's for sure. I have nothing against second chances in life. But putting someone who attempted murder on someone back onto a college basketball team ranks up there as a pretty ludicrous take. Because we need a point guard.............

That being said I just looked and saw nothing online about whether or not he was convicted or not. I do know he served 3 years in prison. No mentions of how his trial turned out. Got a feeling if he was innocent a bigger story would be out there being he served 3 years.

Good luck turning his life around. Thankfully he exhausted his eligibility by turning pro because I definitely wouldn't want to hear any more chatter about him going back to college hoops.

I also "googled" to find out how Mr. Jordan's criminal charges were disposed of and found nothing.

Here's what is known: news reports indicate that Mr. Jordan was charged with attempted murder, robbery, criminal conspiracy and simple assault, among others.

Because he was held in jail for 3 !/2 years there had to have been a final adjudication of his charges.

I don't know Pennsylvania law but it appears that he plead guilty to some lesser charge (perhaps robbery) and was sentenced to something like 5 years jail which with good behavior allowed him to be released after 3 1/2 years.

I can't find anything either. But I thought when the incident initially happened, he was facing much longer than 3 years in jail. Wonder what happened.
 
IMO the most significant thing that he can do is get the hell away from the people he used to hang out with. Easier said then done since some are likely family. Then, get counseling(he probably is already), stay clean, work on physical health/basketball skills and land a job (likely overseas). There are other things he can do to turn his life around, but I hope he starts by surrounding himself with positive influences. I wish him the best.

But if he's in shape, we could get to the NCAA tournament again... :whistle:
