or, he tried to compare a laughable Mark Richt label for recruits isn't turning out well to a laughable OCI label for recruits that didn't turn out to well

and as I said, one ended in multiple felony charges and one simply ended in a recruit not attending UT. Not comparable in any way except some UGA fan trying to deflect attention from an embarrassing episode at their univ with a personal shot at another poster. Predictable but still sad

Note bold text below. Also, note the ID issue is not a license, but rather a gun ID issue - as in altering or filing off, probably. That is serious.

We'll see if the Bulldogs live by their own rules... or not.:whistling:

UPDATE II: Georgia TB Isaiah Crowell arrested on felony weapons charges, other players in car

8:13 am June 29, 2012, by Chip Towers

UPDATED WITH ARREST DETAILS AND OTHERS IN VEHICLE . . .

ATHENS – Georgia tailback Isaiah Crowell was arrested early Friday morning and remains in Athens-Clarke County Jail on three weapons charges, two of them felonies.

The sophomore from Columbus was booked at 3:37 a.m. on charges of possessing a concealed weapon, having a weapon in a school zone and having an altered ID mark on that weapon. His bond, originally set at $7,500, was raised to $9,500 late Friday morning.

According to the police report, four other Georgia football players were also in Crowell’s vehicle, including three 2012 freshman signees. Those persons were outside linebacker Josh Harvey-Clemons, wide receiver Blake Tibbs and defensive back Sheldon Dawson. Also present was sophomore defensive back Quintavius Harrow. None of the four were charged.

According to Athens-Clarke police spokesperson Hilda Sorrow, Crowell was arrested at a “vehicle check-point” — or road block — on East Campus Road at Green Street at 2:20 a.m. Friday. Officer Kathryn Thornton reported smelling the odor of marijuana in Crowell’s silver four-door 2005 Mercury Grand Marquis. Crowell gave consent to search the vehicle, himself and four other occupants. No marijuana was discovered but a black 9-mm Luger handgun with an altered serial number was found under the driver’s seat. Crowell was immediately arrested and taken to jail. He had not posted bail as of early Friday afternoon.

According to the police report, Crowell said he let one of the other occupants drive the vehicle. He denied knowing the gun was in the car. The owner of the vehicle is listed as Crowell’s mother Debbie. The report also indicted that the five were coming from the nightclub Aftermath, where Crowell said the smell of marijuana originated.

The police report also indicated that Crowell has no criminal history.

According to the UGA Student-Athlete handbook, a felony arrest means “immediate suspension from athletic competition.” A “Comprehensive Action Plan Committee,” consisting of UGA athletic association senior administrators and the faculty athletics representative, will then investigate and review the facts and forward a disciplinary recommendation to athletic director Greg McGarity. Recommendations include “dismissal from the team, suspension from competition, reduction in aid and/or cancellation of athletic aid.”

This is not Crowell’s first brush with trouble at Georgia. He was benched for the first quarter of the Vanderbilt game on Oct. 15 as a punishment for an unknown disciplinary infraction and was suspended for the Nov. 5 New Mexico State game, reportedly for failing a drug test.

McGarity, responding to a text message seeking comment, said “not at this time.” Football coach Mark Richt did not return a message seeking comment.

Crowell, who came to UGA in 2011 as the No. 1-rated running back prospect in America, was slated to start for the Bulldogs at tailback this season. He rushed for 850 yards and 5 touchdowns as a freshman despite missing playing time due to suspensions and injuries.

With Crowell likely out of the fold, Georgia will turn to redshirt sophomore Ken Malcome and senior Richard Samuel to carry the load early on. The Bulldogs also signed Keith Marshall of Raleigh, N.C., — considered the top running back prospect in the country, according to 247Sports.com — who enrolled in January, and four-star prospect Todd Gurley of Tarboro, N.C., to play running back.

Marshall and other running backs were offering support for Crowell via Twitter.

“Pray for Isaiah & that he will learn from his mistake,” wrote Marshall from @Truthh4.

Derrick Henry, a highly-touted running back prospect from Florida who once was committed to Georgia, also weighed in via his Twitter account, @KingHenry_2: “Pray for Crowell instead [of] bashing him . . . because everyone wasn’t raised the same. . . . So everyone should just pray he sees a better way”

More information to come when it’s available.

Yep, he's done. But don't take too much solace in the 'Dawgs woes...Crowell wasn't even their starting RB...look for Keith Marshall out of Raleigh Millbrook to be toting the rock by the time the Big Orange meets them.

Sad for Crowell...terrible for him and the program. I don't care if he went 10-2 last year...Richt is still hanging on to that program by a thread.

Agree. Richt has been there too long and this may be the beginning of the end. His last few years are eerily similar to Fulmer's final years here. Only Fulmer had a National Championship and is a Hall of Famer so I mean no disrespect comparing him to Richt.
However, Georgia lost the SEC championship game last year like Fulmer did prior to his last year. There were lots of well documented discipline problems during Fulmer's last years and the team had a lot of thugs(Just being honest) much like Georgia today. It's just really odd how similar the situations are and at some point all coaches wear out their welcome and need to move on. I really think this may be Richt's last year and these distractions will really hamper Georgia's season! They won't live up to the preseason hype and the fans will abandon him!

One of the few bright spots out of all of this. Mark Bradley of the AJC just wrote that "the most often read textbook on the UGA campus was the student athlete-conduct handbook". I'm not gonna lie, I laughed pretty hard.

Why in God's name did he consent to a search?

If he hadn't they would have just detained them until they got a warrant. The officers claim of smelling pot is probable cause. Or it could be that he's telling the truth and didn't know the gun was in the car........

I am hoping this is UGA's 2008.

Coach on hot seat year before. Season starts rough, but coach makes it to SEC Title game.

Then people expect a solid competitive team, lots of arrest, coach FIRED!

Wouldn't a poor season though be their version of "2005 Tennessee" instead?

Richt just managed to hold on to Rodney Garner for a little while longer than Fulmer did (and you correctly note that the NC has eluded Richt). Otherwise the parallels are countless.

A good attorney could have beat that in court though. Now he's looking at two years in jail.

Early rumors this fine, hot Friday morning in the greater Athens area are that "star" running back Crowell has been picked up on 2 felony charges. I'm at work now and may be a while before I can find news links to confirm, or rebuke.

9-10 wins is sounding even more likely now.

If you don't consent they just get a search warrant. Only difference between the 2 is a few hours.

Players aren't even supposed to open there mouth if they get pulled off. Coaches give them all the numbers to call if there is any incident so they the receive the best council available.

Les Miles is waiting for Crowell to call - its his easy way to poach UGA players - like he got Mettenberger - wait for the arrest
