Right. Hard to have much respect for the handling of this one. And that goes for the judge, too.

Agreed. Innocent, or not, the judge and trial have ruined many opportunities for AJ

Ollie Lane being 316 is awesome. I would love if he could surprise and be a contributor.

Flip side - albeit not surprising - Tanner Antonutti being only 269 is disappointing. With our OL haul this year plus our impressive ‘20 in state candidates - he might never see the field. Ridiculously premature judgement there, I know.

Kurrot Garland and Kingston Harris are also both about 20lbs bigger than I expected them to be.

Antonutti is a Butch Jones recruit. Wish Pruitt would have given him the git shirt

On Thaxton


-Price

That’s an interesting title to give Zach lol

I just believe Chryst will get the nod at tight end this year.

With yer history of qb evaluation fails I guess we can go ahead and pencil in JG as the starter. lol:

Just messin. Sorry, couldn't resist that layup.

Also, FYP.

 

[LA Vol]

Hasnt he already been to trial like 3 times and the girls story changes and he has been trying to get the courts approval for her social media records. Was told by someone that went to school with her that she "loved" men if you know what i mean. And multiple at the same time. May not be true but thats what he told me.

Pretrial hearings. Jury selection will start today as soon as they finish motions. And yes, she is on record with multiple lies and social media, texts and the testimony of partygoers and friends will not support her claims.

The kicker there is domestic assault though, which means at some point he put his hands on her. To what extent I dunno (that's going to be the thing that determines if he stays in the program or not)

That's not really true. Assault and battery are two separate acts, although they are very similar. Assault refers to a threat of violence, as opposed to battery which refers to unlawful physical contact with the intent to cause injury, harm, or pain. The fact that the charge didn't say assault and battery means he isn't accused of putting his hands on her. Only that she felt threatened that he was going to hurt her.

As someone who recently associated his attorney to partner in defending another college football player sexual assault case, wherein our client was innocent, AJ could NOT have a better attorney beside him, IMO.

Maybe I am really slow but does this mean he has a good or bad lawyer?

Yes

So you’re saying his attorney sucks?

 

[BruinVol]

Yes

I thought so but back to back NOTs threw me off

 

[JCLawyerVol]

Very, very good.

 

[BruinVol]

Very, very good.

Thanks

 

[LA Vol]

AJ has an excellent defense team. Tom Dillard is one of the best attorneys around.

 

[JCLawyerVol]

Yeah I just saw my dumb typo. My bad. Also, Tom Dillard is excellent, but I was referring to Stephen Ross Johnson.

Not necessarily

Where are you getting these current weights from? :question:

 

[VolGee4]

His lawyers are excellent.

Hubbs on Thaxton...

Let's see how the investigation goes. We will see if the charges stick or get dropped. Sounds like it might get dismissed based on some things I'm hearing, but we will see.

Also, I will note that Pruitt has had weekly discussions/guest speakers/seminar type things on domestic relationships.

Hubbs on Thaxton...

Buuuut we already cut him so 🤷🏻*♂️

Charges being dropped, to me, doesn’t necessarily mitigate blame. It also doesn’t preclude being suspended or dismissed.

I guess I hold these guys to too high of a standard.

Nothing wrong with a high standard in these issues, but deciding he's guilty without knowing anything but a tweet about the charges is premature. I agree that charges being dropped doesn't mitigate the blame. But being charged with something doesn't necessarily mean he's done anything wrong either. Only that he is accused of wrong doing.
