LeQuint Allen is Back

[JeremyCuse]

This is gonna get real ugly real quick, hope SU's ready.

 

[SuFTW]

Not only would this hurt us in 2023, he will transfer the hell out and go play right away elsewhere! This can’t happen!

Portal is closed. Juco maybe?

 

[dasher]

I'm trying to stay calm. But before we, including me, go off the deep end, we really need to know more about what happened here. It is possible that this is justified. More information will tell us. And we may get that if this goes to court.

Maybe this is why we brought in a JUCO RB last month?

There might be a way out if the school you are at, won't let you play.

 

[orangefog]

Pretty broad. I mean, if he hit some dude who hit him first that is a hell of a lot different than abusing a woman, or sexual abuse etc.

Yeah, they could have just said "Thou shalt be nice to everyone...or Syracuse University reserves the right to suspend you for whatever period of time we choose...arbitrarily."

Yeah that would be the option I guess. Hawkins, Price and the freshmen may not be enough. RB is the easiest position to make an early impact, but still…

Story is now hidden behind the PS paywall, but this one is free:

Lmao the DA’s office doesn’t want any part in ruining the kid’s life but Syracuse University is all for it. Cool, cool.

He means SU bringing in a replacement

July 12th could be a very big date for this year's season.

Looked like a good add back then, looks like a genius move now.

Actually I meant Allen transferring and playing this season. I don’t think it’s likely for a D1 team. We already did get a Juco RB.

Yeah, Could be.

There has to be more here. Just has to be. I know at times the school has been asleep at the wheel with certain decisions at times but if this is as straightforward as what's been shared so far- this is pathetic and embarrassing.

Oh! Sorry! Yeah I would think he could get a waiver if SU isn’t letting him play? No clue and I hope it doesn’t come to that

 

[JeremyCuse]

July 12th could be a very bit date for this year's season.

Unless more comes out, I wouldn't be surprised if SU tries to resolve this before that date as the pressure from outside will be tremendous.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

So...

SU got 3 commits today, one recruit flipped, and our starting RB may be kicked off the team.

Is there anything else?

Yeah, we're out of coffee.

Yeah, the guy who allegedly punched Allen twice and started it is picking Allen out of a lineup but nothing was filed against him? This is all crazy

 

[dasher]

Do we know for sure that it was a guy he hit?

 

[UpstateSM]

Do we know for sure that it was a guy he hit?

Yes, per the DO article

 

[JeremyCuse]

Do we know for sure that it was a guy he hit?

Yes, the article references "man' multiple times. If it was a woman he'd probably have been expelled or sent a drift on Onondaga Lake under the new SU guidelines.

 

[dasher]

Yes, per the DO article

Thank God

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Do we know for sure that it was a guy he hit?

In an affidavit by Allen, he said he punched a man in retaliation after Allen was hit twice in the face.

 

[dasher]

This must have already gone on appeal for it to get this far. My Jr year, Our RA , a Rutgers grad and avid fan, decked my roommate when he teased him about us beating Rutgers in hoop. My roommate didn't consider complaining about it.

It sounds like it did.
