I don't claim to be in the know, but there are a number of things he could have done that aren't as bad as trying to steal back weed by posing as a pizza delivery guy with an airsoft gun. So I'm not suprised

is that what happened??

...to Journell, yes......last year

 

[757Hokie83]

I dont think i remember hearing about the pizza guy costume

It would've worked for Journell but he made the mistake of saying "Delivery from Journell's Pizza!!" lol

Good news about Manning. This is at least strike 1 though

OK. I'm a little bit confused. Either "this" thing wasn't a very big deal, OR it is something that happened before he enrolled that was not mentioned or brought to life by the coaching staff. Either way, good that he is getting another chance, we sure need him next year and going forward. Hopefully he learned from "this" incident.

If its just one possession of weed violation, I'm fine with him getting a second chance. And I'm not just saying that because he's a 4* and we lack depth. A second chance is fine. From what I've read, it isn't like Ike Whitiker or Marcus Vick that had multiple chances to get their shit together.

 

[EvanGWatkins]

imo we are not very likely to ever find out what "this" is....

Glad he is getting a second chance, hope he makes the most of it..

It's weird to me that people can get in so much trouble for smoking. I don't smoke, but it just seems like something that A LOT of college kids do.

And I'm not saying that this is what he got in trouble for, but if it is, I'm not concerned at all. I'd rather him smoke weed then sit around playing COD all day. Maybe if he got the munchies more often he wouldn't be so tiny.

Seems as though his locker is still completely cleaned out. Is he REALLY back with the team?

I don't know about a lot, but I think its more common than most would like to admit, even among athletes. When I was at Tech, I had several interactions with multiple players that smoked. I didn't do it with them, I just observed and saw them talk about it. I won't name names but I found it surprising they'd risk it. One was kicked off the team though
