K Jonathan Skeete (official thread)

[Buckin' A]

Bump...things may be happening.

Meaning what?

 

[sandgk]

Meaning there have been rumors of a make-up of sorts, another chance for Skeete.

(I wish the rumor mill thread were unlocked for thsi discussion).

 

[Padraig]

Coach Tressel told media this morning at morning workouts that Skeete, having been re-admitted to tOSU as a student has the same right as any other student to "try out" for the team as a walk-on. And so that is aparently what he is doing.

 

[Buckin' A]

God help us. If true, time for another media shit storm.

God help us. If true, time for another media shit storm.

Thos are the exact three words that came to mind for me...

 

[crazybuckfan40]

The thing about it is, there would be another media shit strom if they did not let him try out.

He is not back on the team yet, he just merely trying out along with 5 or 6 othere guys.

He is admitted as a student so as Tress said he has the right to tryout.

Now the million dollar ? is will we keep him.

 

[Buckin' A]

Can anybody comment on the status of his charges? I can't imagine that he isn't going to serve any time for Felony trafficking drugs.

 

[Padraig]

1 year probabtion I believe it was reported.

 

[buckeyeman06]

Im sure we will, with coach Tressel depending on his speacial teams to win games.

Despite JS past troubles, talent will always prevail.

Yup, thats the standard sentence for first time weed dealers, at least in Newark it is...

Not with Tressel.

He had a chance to bring back Irizarry was probably had the most talent or more than any te we had on our roster last year and he passed.

Tressell isnt Bobby Bowden.

Obviously the kid has the talent having walked on before. What it is going to come down to is if Tressel believes he has the right attitude this time around. For a second chance, he has to prove he can do it off the field.

Huge diff. between robbery-violent offense, and just sellin some weed.

Ill put up some vcash(points) that JS is back on the team come September.

 

[TheStoicPaisano]

I have to think that if they let Skeete tryout--and those were in January, so he has survived cuts and will probably be on the Spring roster--then his talent will put him on or off the team in August.

As a student, Skeete could not be stopped from trying out, but if he was persona non grata, he would've been cut with the quickness.

This horse was beating to death in the Rumor mill thread, no reason to rehash it.
