Class of 2019 WR Trejan Bridges (TX) Portal from Cent Arkansas / Visiting

[dasher]

yep, again don't know enough either way but I don't just blindly trust chrages

Especially when this kid could catch passes for us. When do we say we pass on a kid? They pled guilty. Oklahoma, hardly a virtuous school, tossed him off.

 

[MSOrange]

I wouldnt at all. Fran isnt going to take a kid that he doesnt think fits.

You know it's ok to be a huge fan of Fran and have respect for him, but still occasionally question a decision. Most of us don't want to be in a cult.

 

[The Viking]

We don't have to do mental gymnastics to make it seem like he's a good kid. He's clearly not, and it's okay to question Fran's judgment here if we brought him in.

I get your point and understand the stance you've taken. And I wouldn't try changing your mind. But what enters my mind is the way the public often gets its information.
I knew little about the pasts of Alan Iverson or Randy Moss, but I saw them as bad seeds. Potential cancers for any team. Learning the truth about the events in their young lives much later, I told myself I would be more cautious about passing judgment.
That's where I'm coming from.

A cult please explain.

 

[MSOrange]

A cult please explain.

Should be pretty self-explanatory. To rubber stamp everything someone says or does without question.

And SU is a virtuous school? Many schools could point to several infractions at SU.

 

[Dmcnabbrules]

Who were the morons caught stealing at sky top years ago? The police followed the footsteps through the snow to catch the thieves.

Wasn’t that Malcom Cater? And who can forget the University not allowing Colt Brennan to come? May he rest in peace

I know what a cult is. How does that apply in this thread. Give me somebody's quote that's cultist.

 

[wfschrec]

Oh and the Chad Elliott saga too …

 

[dasher]

And SU is a virtuous school? Many schools could point to several infractions at SU.

What is your point? And what does that have to do with letting in guys that had a home invasion? And nowhere did I say we sit at the right hand of the father. Just that I wouldn't take guys that had pled guilty to those offenses. Oh, and you might want to look up the goings on at Oklahoma when Barry Switzer was the coach

 

[kcsu]

I'd say he is the farthest thing from a cult that you will ever meet. I see a solid person who cares about others but sets high standards and expectations. I work with the homeless and see all kinds of individuals that deserve a second chance so I might have a soft spot for it. I do trust him to make a good decision

[djorange1989]

Lol or he could have just committed the crime

No way!! He’s too good of a player!!

 

[qdawgg]

Who were the morons caught stealing at sky top years ago? The police followed the footsteps through the snow to catch the thieves.

Malcom cater and at least he waited until his QB wasn’t home to rob him.

That kid was going to possibly be really freaking good. He hit so hard.

 

[ImperialOrange]

They took plea deals and admitted to larceny. There was enough evidence against them for a judge to sign a warrant for a robbery charge.

meh... if there was enough evidence why offer a plea? Given the choice of plea to avoid jail or go to trial and be at the mercy of a system that isn't so trustworthy for all or nothing? You take the guarantee

 

[ImperialOrange]

We don't have to do mental gymnastics to make it seem like he's a good kid. He's clearly not, and it's okay to question Fran's judgment here if we brought him in.

You have the details of the charges you can share? I've got no reason to soap box for the kid, just no idea the details. He could be OJ or Aaron Hernandez for all I know, I just don't blindly trust charges based on lived experiences

 

[ImperialOrange]

Again, know enough to not know enough.

Hell, Oklahoma probably needed the scholarship.

Again, lived experiences... I've pled to charges I was 100% innocent of to know the lessor outcome vs push all in in a system I don't trust. If you've not experienced that reality, I'm truly happy for you.

Yeah, I have been accused of a couple things in my life. I was innocent and you know what, I said so. I would NEVER say I was guilty when I wasn't. Ever. And I don't want my school bringing kids that have pled guilty to crimes like that to my school. Good luck to them. There are plenty of kids out there. We don't need them. Plus, using your logic, we would never turn a kid down for any crime they have been accused of and pled guilty to.

 

[GoSU96]

There is no need to lean into a bad optics WR. Between the guys coming back that played and the next 4 or 5 Freshmen from last year, WR should be fine

 

[newmexicuse]

Were there any issues at Cent Ark last season ?

If not, kids can mature.

If he can help us on the field I would not worry about what he did at OU several seasons ago.

That incident I believe was an alleged robbery, not like a rape or a child molesting which would be unforgiveable to me.

If Cook committs, room at the inn is probably closed.

You'd be cool with someone committing a home invasion at your house? Because they play football?

 

[Nahson]

Depends. If Eric Dungey broke into my house to steal my stuff, I’d help him.

 

[qdawgg]

If he then hit you on the head with a gun, kicked you multiple times, pointed the gun at your head and threatened to shoot you.
