Zach Brown Arrested Again

I know going for the troubled star means a quicker return to prominence if we get lucky, but I think I'd rather take the slow road with undersized big men from now on. We're really not in any position to take chances on troubled kids.
 
He's a troubled kid who had an extremely difficult upbringing but I wouldn't be so fast to give up on him. Supposedly this latest charge is a misdemeanor.

JayVaughn Pinkston was arrested and charged with assault shortly after he arrived at Villanova. He was banned from the team--couldn't even practice with them for that first season. He stayed, started playing the next year and ended up graduating.

Who's to say that Mullin can't help Brown in a similar fashion?

After the first incident, he knew he was a long shot. If he cared at all then why do this?
People are respnsible for their own actions, sorry.

Pass.

I disagree, as long as its limited to 1 or 2 players and there are contingency plans. Certainly cant put all your eggs in the troubled kids basket.
 
Sad situation. Hope this young man gets on track.

The good news for us is that, assuming the rest of the roster stays reasonably in tact, we don't need a superstar big. We need a strong, athletic 4/5 that can really play inside 5 feet at both ends. Strong enough to play underneath the better bigs in the conference 1 on 1 defensively, athletic enough to get up and down at our pace and finish at the rim.

Have seen Rutgers play a few times this year and typically come away thinking how perfect Deshawn Freeman would be for our system. Know he was fairly highly sought after so don't know if a player on his level is realistic, but that's the arena of player I think could advance us right away next year.
 
Zach Brown was quoted as saying: "I saw how Mullin was coaching defense and figured a life of crime was a better option."
 
Credit to Paultzman for trying to warn us that the odds of Brown playing for SJU were long. May not have made it here anyway. Unfortunately, we are developing a pretty strong starting 5 of former players/recruits with criminal records faster than we are developing a NCAA tournament quality team.
 
This team needs a banger, someone willing to do the dirty work, set pummeling screens, clear the boards, man the F up on D.

Unfortunately that player will be attending St. Louis next year.

Speaking of criminals.
Anyone see that Lawrence Phillips thing on showtime?
I went back and forth feeling bad for him and thinking he was a jerk.
Settled on jerk. Amazing that guys would throw all that talent away
 
Much better thar this gets resolved now then after he got on campus. Let's at least try to sign kids that can stay out of trouble.
 
He'll beat this. Good thing he doesn't have any easily identifiable characteristics -- like being 7 feet tall, for instance.

Or wearing a SJU ski mask. :)

That would be a St Joe's recruit. He has a really good alibi now
 
All I gotta say is that if Amar or Mussini had done this, you'd all be defending them and giving them second chances.

Mussini way to slow to have a chance of getting away. Any security guard would catch him

we are sju would be calling for the death penalty if it happened to Amar or Mussini or Freudenberg
 
Dear Anton Goff: Cut ties with this kid immediately. Put out a press release that he is released from his LOI and that St. John's wishes him well but will be moving forward without him. We do not need this lingering around for months while we investigate the facts and it hurts recruiting among other things.

RF in same boat as Mussini. Too slow, no chance of escape
