mat1992 2,239 Report post Posted August 11, 2023 This apparently took place in June of 2022 after he arrived on campus. Very serious charge(s). We'll know more on Friday after the court hearing. I'm not going to mention the basketball side of things until tomorrow and how it might affect the program on the floor. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There’s no court hearing Friday; the grand jury has returned an indictment, which cancels out the preliminary hearing. Next will be the setting of a trial date in Circuit Court. Trial date probably won’t be until at least November, at the earliest. Assuming the case goes to trial, it might not be until 2024. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Awful all around. Those charges are disgusting and reprehensible. Innocent until proven guilty but this puts a major black eye on the program and school regardless of outcome Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One bad apple doesn’t ruin a bunch but makes it tough to raise money going forward. Hope this turns out to be less worse than it reads. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Should they not ask for money because one athlete may have committed a crime? It’s terrible PR even if he’s innocent, which is certainly possible. Now maybe it’s time to slow down the Goh initiative 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blounge 521 Report post Posted August 11, 2023 We really can’t have nice things can we? Could have really used his 3 point shooting. Him going to jail certainly throws a wrench in the rotation. Awful stain on the program i know Spiro and skerry are not happy sad for all parties involved at least he has a good lawyer? Pessin Katz is the big towson firm at least we won in Canada without him?
