Should we try to entice him to come back to SD?

Burglary and stolen goods? Not sure of all the details, but perhaps he deserves a second chance?

[Old School]

You bring the kid back home, keep a closer eye on him, while playing for a local D1 program make sense.

But alas, Rocky has standards for character (and grades). We'll see.

Do we have details of our own guys that were dismissed for 6 games ? Is the suggestion to have him talk with Rocky about coming here and red shirting this year or talking with him about going to the JC then here the following year ?

Pretty harsh to dismiss a kid based upon an arrest. Rodriguez must know more facts.

Arrested by U of A Police for trying to sell/pawn a stolen microphone . As of today not known if he was involved in the burglary . Jordan went to La Jolla Country Day ,lists him from Rancho Santa Fe. At first committed to USC , then changed his mind and signed with U of A . Red Shirted last year . Going to a JC in Arizona ?

JC = Halfway home for D1 players without a schollie.

Let's see. arrested in the morning, U of A does its investigation that day and the kid is dismissed at sumdown.

Something just doesn't add up.

I think at one point ESPN reported that Urban Myers had 20+ kids at FLA who had been arrested. Now, given its Florida and the South all those varibales need to be considered.
