If I'm not mistaken, all WVU recruits have to bring their police records on recruiting trips.

Nice get for West Virginny !!!

WVU must have a good film school.

I've always wondered why their ankle bracelets don't set off the airport metal detectors....

Some articles on Holton to WVU, not much new here, although it does say he considered Memphis and Southern Miss as well.

Also looks like he's struggling to make the grade at Palm Beach State. I used to want this clown back but the more I read about him the more I'm glad he is someone else's problem. What a dope.

Says his coach at Palm Beach State "Having said that, Butch Estes, Holton’s coach at Palm Beach State in 2012-13, said Holton has some work to do to be eligible at WVU. “It will go into the summer,” he said.

This is basically handing in assignments and finishing classes and making sure the associate degree is secured. But graduating in time for the 2013-14 season has always been the goal for Holton, so it’s not like they’re improvising here."

This kid is a joke. Good riddance.

Pretty much the same stuff on Holton.
but it does say that he has to be "cleared " of the felony charges.
(according to the newspaper)

Huh??????

Between his legal and academic issues, I'll bet he never sets foot on WVU.

I'd be embarssed to see a headline like this about a URI recruit.

Might as well say "He'll be offered a scholarship if he doesn't get the "chair."

Thuggy Bear I love it !!!!

Shows how smart Dan is for never looking at Holton again.

Memories.....

UPDATE: Holton was sentenced today to two years of probation. One of the voyeurism counts was tossed out.

And in criminal news:

New WVa recruit Jonathan Holton pleads to video voyeurism. http://news.providencejournal.com/breaking-news/2013/05/former-uri-basketball-player-sentenced-in-voyeurism-case.html …"

Does anyone know what's going on with Jonathan Holton? Anyone?

(I kid, I kid)

I was hoping we'd get Woodson here for a visit, and we get Holton in RI.
Talk about the booby prize!

Not an unexpected result with Holton's case.

RE: Holton., Let's not talk about boo….nah, forget it.

Can someone ask the Sporting News what a "felony account" is?

Answer: It's what a Huggins' recruit sets-up before-during-and-after he puts on a WVU uniform!

I think that there is an ATM machine at P.C. for this kind of account.

Also,http://timeswv.com/bob_herzel/x60926654 ... -uncertain Apparently, Huggins is reconsidering his original position that the Holton would have to be cleared of the felony charges. I guess in Huggins and Holton's mind, "NO CONTEST" is close enough.

PS. Noticed in ATP post the Holton dress code for his sentencing day. Am I crazy, he doesn't even dress up for his sentencing day??????????

Great look, eh, McRam.
People today have no sense of occasion, regarding dressing up.
Wedding, funerals, court dates, whatever, too many slobs in sweats and
t-shirts.
I was driving near the Ebenezer Baptist Church and the congregation was getting out.
I was pleasantly surprised to see men and women dressed in their best, as it was
when I was a kid going to church on Sunday.
"Casual dress means casual thinking in the workplace."- Donald Trump

If you go back to the original story it says: A person familiar with the situation told the Charleston Daily Mail Sunday that Holton's scholarship offer would only be honored if his legal issues are resolved.

In subsequent reporting, "resolved" got changed to "cleared."

Huggins left himself an out; Holton didn't have to be found not guilty to be on the team.

I guess Jodi Arias could never play for the WVU women's team.

If the goal was to get sympathy from the court by making Holton look like an even bigger dumbass than he already is, maybe it worked? He certainly has that vacant mind look to him in that video.

Relevant part:

Orion Outerbridge, University of Rhode Island

After a year overseas in Greece, Outerbridge has returned stateside and is hoping he can now parlay a successful international season into a D-League gig.

In addition to averaging 18 points, 10 rebounds, and 2 blocks while at Cyrprus, Outerbridge emerged as his league's All-Star Game M.V.P. A forward with freakish athleticism, he can serve to fill a void for a squad at either the three or the four. The big man likes to pound it down around the basket with power, and uses his overwhelming physicality to create mismatches offensively.

Upon returning from Greece earlier this year, Outerbridge garnered some preliminary interest from the Erie BayHawks midway through their season.

Likes to pound it down low and has overwhelming physicality? Wish we had that OO.

1. Yes, he had/has "freakish athleticism…." which was constantly used to fire fade-away jumpers against players 2-3 inches shorter!!!!!
2. If he's on campus finishing his degree, maybe he's getting some real instruction during his free-time from Coach Hurley and staff.
3. Get the degree, Orion Outerbridge!!!!!!! (I still can't believe he left early to train solely for the draft! What the heck had he been doing for four years???) Finish what you started!!! Help the team!!!!!

Keep that dream alive OO !!!

From what I can gather on Twitter, Delroy dropped 51 points in a New York Pro City tourney last night:

Let's make it a law that anyone with a felony conviction cannot be given a second chance in life? Unless, of course you are a white kid from a well-to-do family.

Forgive me, but what are we talking about here?

72 seems to have trouble following the flow lately. His posts don't fit the conversation.

I like candy!

And WHAT'S the deal with airline food?

Have you seen any of Seinfeld's stuff lately? He's just not that funny. That show was 100% Larry David.

Stay hot Delroy James !!!

Awesome, Rod.

I hope 72 is OK.

NEWS FLASH -- Where Are They Now? Former POSTER results for 2012-2013: "MAN FOUND WANDERING NEAR URI CAMPUS AFTER LIGHTNING STRIKE! HEARD TO BE MUTTERING: 'GOTTA FIND A NEW COACH…GOTTA FIND A NEW COACH….'"
