ouch...we don't fare well against 'star' receivers.

[MeanGreenTexan]

Who is "King"?

 

This move shows that Kiffin is what they call,  scurred.

Quote

"I applaud the university or doing the right thing despite the fact that criminal charges re still pending," King's lawyer Michael Gottlieb told OwlAccess.

Mr. Gottlieb and I have different expectations for "doing the right thing."

[chrisfisher]

I don't understand....Vito's story speaks of Wood returning and then discussing King as being involved in assault. Typos?

That guy is a treasure trove of quotes.

Sun Sentinal: Suspended FAU WR Kalib Woods no longer on house arrest

Quote

“It’s a bar fight,” Gottlieb told the judge. “There are several individuals who punch and kick these victims. I think the state’s going to have a very difficult job attributing the injuries solely to my client. 

---

“They’re recommending, as I understand it, perhaps a one-year suspension,” Gottlieb said. “So I don’t expect him, at this point, to be back on school campus any time soon.”

I guess that suspension got changed when they realized they might win the East?

In case anyone how minor/major the injuries were:

Sun Sentinal:  FAU WR Kalib Woods pleads not guilty to two felony battery charges

Quote

Muckle told police he was knocked to the floor and then stomped on by Woods “as well as others that were involved.” According to a police report, Reese suffered a broken jaw and later underwent surgery to repair it, including wiring it shut. Muckle spent five days in the hospital due to internal bleeding, he told police.

 

Sound pretty bad, what could have lead to all this mayhem?

Quote

The conflict stemmed from a foul during a basketball game over a year ago, Reese told police. Muckle told investigators that Woods previously used Twitter to threaten to assault him. 

 

I don't know, sounds bad, but what if Woods was just defending himself..?

Quote

Police obtained surveillance video from The Venue in February and “saw Kalib strike Adrian and Stephan several times with a closed fist. Stephan and Adrian were kicked several times while laying defenseless on the ground. Adrian and Stephan didn’t attempt to punch or kick Kalib during the entire incident.”

 

Well at least FAU is sticking to their guns...

Quote

“We are aware of the matter with Kalib Woods,” an FAU statement said. “He was suspended from the team … and will remain suspended pending the outcome of the charges.”

 

... or not.

Could work in our favor if he hasn't practiced with the team in some time... won't be in lock-step with their offense possibly.... but the whole things seems fishy to me, and an act of desperation knowing they are facing the mighty UNT.

I feel like the NCAA should have a mandate that if a player in any sport is in a pending criminal investigation, then they can’t play until it’s resolved. FAU shouldn’t hold the only criticism here, the NCAA should as well. They make examples of programs when it’s only convenient for them. 

Talk about billy bad ass too, what kind of a man kicks some one while they are down. If you’re gonna make open threats to someone, you fight em like a man, not a chickenshit

I am in no way defending him, but what if it goes an entire season through the process and he is innocent, does he get a year of eligibility back? Just wondering.

...but the law says you're presumed innocent until proven guilty.

Then that sucks. They initially suspended the kid 6 games and then they said.....ah oh well. At least stick to your guns

When it’s blatant assault and he’s on video, and picked out by kid that was assualted, then I guess “Sucks to be you”

[UNTLifer]

 Plus, Woods is not allowed on FAU’s campus without a police escort.

So, will the officer run routes beside him?  Will they play with 10 players plus the officer or will they get a waiver and it will be 12 on 11.  These questions must be answered. 

 

Kiffin and Briles are such high character.  So glad we got SL instead of many that were wanting Lil' Briles.

[FAU Connoisseur]

Here let me give you something else to chew on....His family sits in the stands with his jersey on and they sit during the national anthem!  

My personal opinion is kick him out of school, but I don't (and neither do you) know the details.  If nothing else maybe he will learn that things can be taken away real quick so don't put yourself in these positions.

I like how the article calls him a star receiver.  He will be a non-factor Saturday.  He has been practicing since the semester start.  He is a practice star.  But game day he's nothing.  My forever lasting memory of him will be dropping a 4th down pass late against Marshal last year.  He catches that, we win.

Those South Florida schools seem to have an edgy set of ethics. Do you remember Notre Dame vs. Miami, circa 1988 ?

Vintage Lane Kiffin. Guy has the morals of a Banana Slug...

Hopefully our coaches were aware of this for game planning.

That would just open the door for the dispicable universities to pay off people to make false claims and whatnot against players from opposing schools.

Good lord.  Is there a major sausage factory in Boca Raton and were they having a party? 

[greenminer]

But elsewhere, if you're only a walk-on...

[Caw Caw]

According to his own Twitter, Sid Moore traveled with the team. No reason to travel if he isn't playing, right?
