Former Georgia DB Chad Clay now coming to Herd... Dismissed for arrest for allegedly stealing a pair of $30 Apple headphones occurred while the victim was playing pickup basketball at the Ramsey Student Center basketball courts.
Heard a Rumor Ga DB 4-star
- Thread starter UBeenThunderStruck
- Start date
Not sure about the rumor, but he was dismissed by Smart, because that was his 2nd time being arrested within 10 weeks, with the first arrest being a couple of felonies.
Clay did commit last weekend.
And while the legal troubles you listed for Clay are true, the felony involved him shooting a BB gun in his dorm. Sounds a little ridiculous to me.
Sounds like our good ole work release program is still strongest in the nation!! Keep them coming Doc I'll take all the 4 and 5 stars u can get!!
he went to juco and is coming here now i believe. since he was dismissed last summer, he's served his "year in residence"
I didn't realize it was last year but I believe that if you are dismissed from a program, you can play right away.
nope. dismissed players are still transfers. you could apply for an appeal, like any other transfer though.
brady and young were both dismissed at miami and had to sit out last fall as transfers.
He also was charged for making over $1000 in damages besides the weapon charge. Then, after that, he decided to steal from another student.
What is the over / under he can not make it for 6 to 8 weeks in Huntington before being arrested again. Another in a long list of questionable recruits...guess Holliday is in scramble mode.
Speaking of Holliday wonder how much slack he has been given to stay employed for the total football season.,,and before it starts I know "toughest schedule we have faced in years"...lol...ol CUSA is a killer
77, is scramble mode what one goes into right before entering "desperation mode"? You know, sort of like going into ridiculous speed right before "ludicrous speed"!
His eligibility for 2017 nor the number of years he's eligible for has been determined yet.
Maybe this guy can become Allens new best buddy and drive him around.
6-5 one or the other is in dutch with law enforcement before the end of summer thus putting a damper on our work release program that we operate better than any other school in the nation.
At some point you would think well no that would take a strong AD which we do not have , but at some point you would think Marshall would try to stop being the poster child for every athlete that has a shady background or has been dismissed for academic or legal reasons from other programs...kinda makes one wonder about the thought process of the our esteemed school president as well.
Not the recruiting reputation nor image of the programs that I for one enjoy seeing attached to our alma mater.

This isn't directed at you so please don't take it that way. It just needs to be said.
No one enjoys seeing our players' names in the police blotter, but it happens everywhere across the country. Marshall is barely inside the top 1/4 of schools, in regards to arrests. I'm not defending Rodney or any other player that makes a stupid decision, but let's not all ride out on our high horses. I'm sure every one of us were cheering when Randy Moss scored a touchdown, or Chase Litton threw a touchdown, or D.J. Hunter made a great play on defense so let's keep that in mind when we're throwing stones.
Fact of the matter is, part of the reason we're seeing more arrests throughout college athletics is because the lack of institution and direction during kids' developmental years. Like I said, I'm not making excuses for anyone. Allen made a stupid decision, but the blame does not solely fall on his shoulders as society has led these kids to believe they can act above the law and nothing be done.
The incidents happened a year ago and he didn't get in any trouble while at JUCO. So what's your point? Keep in mind he was an 18 year old Freshmen when he did those things.
You must have hated our image in the 90s and early 2000s. As for our program's issue, it pales in comparison to what has been going on at places like Baylor, Tennessee, Washington St., and of course ALABAMA. These type of situations happen at just about every school. Hell, wasn't it Duke that had a wonderful group of human-beings playing lacrosse for the school?
Are you referring to the story the stripper fabricated and has admitted to doing so?
I'd like to see the stats on that. Regardless, being within the top 25% in that category isn't good. Further, I can't imagine there are many (if any) teams in the country who have signed football players who have previous indiscretions. It is a running joke after a player is dismissed; "oh, hope he likes Huntington."
Why, has Duke had a lot of football/basketball players arrested recently?
Are you referring to the Duke lacrosse team that was accused of the sexual assault of an exotic dancer who later recanted her story adter the players accused of the misdeeds were proved to not being there at the time of the "assault" ? The same exotic dancer who was later imprisoned for killing her boyfriend?
The same case where the prosecuting attorney was disbarred for excluding evidence in the trial vs the Duke lacrosse team?
Or is it another case, other than this one, that most of America knows about?
I would agree jocktalker.....the whole duke lacrosse thing was a sham. Watched the 30 for 30 on espn....looked like those kids were railroaded!
I simply asked a question. I only follow MU and only see headlines of these other schools on TV so I didn't follow the case or watch any documentaries that I'm sure lined their already rich pockets. Good for the rich boy Pukies to get acquitted. My point is the student athletes at the best of schools commit crimes so the hate being spewed about MU giving an 18 year old kid a 2nd chance shouldn't be attacked as it is. There is a pretty good list of players that we gave a 2nd chance that a rewarded us for giving it.
I guess you missed where Florida signed Adarius Lemons and James Robinson just a couple months ago. Lemons who has had numerous indiscretions and Robinson who was arrested during his OV in Columbus for Possession a week earlier.
They weren't acquitted. All charges were dropped after the prosecuting attorney was found to have excluded evidence that would have exonerated the lacrosse players accused of the crimes.
I'm no Duke fan, but I equally detest the rush to judgement fostered by the politically correct crowd who were just sure that the "rich boy Pukies" to use your terminology were guilty. Now, nearly 25 years later, you still think the lacrosse team was guilty of some crime even though you don't follow national news or sports teams other than Marshall.
Marshall doesn't get stud athletes without warts of some kind, be they academic or behavioral, and there is no morality in any of this.
Like everything else in our Information Age, the apparent rise in athlete indiscretions is likely due to the increased access to information, not some change in parenting styles. Think about how many cases where Marshall players' misdeeds only came out because they appeared on the Western Regional Jail's booking site. If the staff can get it erased before anyone sees it, they will, and that is a significant component to being a successful coach.

Didn't we get Bradshaw because he was underage drinking...?? Then while he was here stole a PlayStation ...?? But hey like I say work release is a great thing!!
#1 - I'm not a politically correct person and believe that the socialism running rampant in this country at home, in the colleges, and in the media needs to be stamped out as it is ruining our country and making us soft as a nation. #2 My term of acquitted is just semantics as I didn't follow the case and old read what was on the news. I could care less except that your exaggerating the numbers of years as someone else said.They weren't acquitted. All charges were dropped after the prosecuting attorney was found to have excluded evidence that would have exonerated the lacrosse players accused of the crimes.

if you think socialism is running rampant here, i'd suggest you actually look up what socialism means...
Cause nothing says freedom and Democracy like a jackboot stomping out a dissenting opinion.
Here you go, please check out the synonyms. Keep this in mind as well, the left wing liberal protests going on at several college campuses in recent months, see Cal-Berkeley, is a direct attack on "Freedom of Speech" and that is what I was eluding to with my comments. While I don't agree with the speakers views that they were protesting and preventing from speaking, their actions to prevent the speakers from voicing their opinions is a violation of the Bill of Rights. This isn't communist China where you do not have the right to voice your opinion, but it seems the left wing liberals would like to make where only one voice or opinion can be heard. In terms of my political views, I am a moderate Republican so I'm not exactly a right wing crazy either.
