Tennessee Freshman Accused of Attempted Armed Robbery

Posted by srr50 on November 12th, 2009 under Football, Recruiting

Allegedly

One of the players involved, Nu’Keese Richardson, was at the center of the recruiting controversy earlier this year when Lane Kiffin accused Florida’s Urban Meyer of cheating on his recruiting of Richardson.

Richardson hails from Pahokee, Fla. which earlier this week was the subject of a USA Today article that paints Pahokee as a troubled town that lives through its HS football team.

    “Kiffin has touted the discipline in his program and a clean arrest record as recently as Wednesday’s SEC teleconference.”

    Let the fun begin in Knoxville.

    I’ve got a big customer in West Palm Beach and have to drive over to Ft. Myers every once in a while. Dude told me one time to just go as far away from Pahokee as you can. Apparently, they built a big ass toll road with a moat that they call “Alligator Alley” just to avoid the region. Florida is a weird state.

    The gatorbait board has maintained since before Nu’keese committed to Tennessee that they were buying him. They have stayed steadfast in that opinion and the word recently was that he was unhappy at UTenn and was going to leave anyway. Looks like he might leave wearing bright orange anyway.

    Really? A Prius as a getaway car? Allsome.

    After a careful review of security camera footage, SEC referees have overturned the arrest, citing inconclusive evidence. All 3 will be eligible for next weeks game.

    “After a careful review of security camera footage, SEC referees have overturned the arrest, citing inconclusive evidence. All 3 will be eligible for next weeks game.”

    Since they don’t play for Florida and Alabama it’s more likely that the refs will confirm their guilt and pin the hoffa murder and losing the civil war on them

    From a local newspaper:

    A Volunteer TV News photographer on the scene captured the suspects while they were being identified. At least one of them wore a black University of Tennessee t-shirt with an orange Adidas logo and the phrase “impossible is nothing.”

    Scroll down at the end of the USA Today article past the first few comments. There’s an awesome FAIL about Kiffin’s discipline having a good effect on Richardson that was posted 2 days ago.

    My first reaction is that these are 3 freshman — so could this be some kind of initiation thing? Whether into a fraternity, some club in Knoxville, or whatever. While I’ve never heard of armed robbery with a pellet gun as pledge task/initiate right, I certainly am aware of a few cases of grand larceny and some felony battery (the latter usually perpetrated by the initators).

    Maybe there is just no explaining it, but it seems weird these guys would rob some random broke ass students outside of a 7-11 with a pellet gun in the middle of football seasonunless they were egged on to do so. But who knows, maybe that’s just how the Vols roll on a Thursday night.

    Lanes comments were pretty amusing. “Well, we made it 11 months with an incident.” Haha.

    Kevin Jones almost airmailed a FT but Ebanks got the putback. Down 7 with 43 secs left. WVU has one more timeout. ESPN360 still in standby.

  • Magnus Bleuveigner commented on the blog post Kansas Open Thread   15 minutes ago

    Loved watching Nate Rob play although I kind of like UW. They have another scoring midget in Isaiah Thomas. Not the Florida Atlantic coach.

    Big East ball was fun to watch in the Ray Allen/Iverson days.

    Naturally as I submit that, WVU gets an And 1 on a 3. Down 5 with 2 to play. ESPN360 is a likely possibility.

    Good win for Nova if they can hold on. I don’t know what it is, but I can’t stand Big East basketball, even if they have 4 teams in the top 10. Give me Duke-Carolina, give me white guys from Indiana and Iowa, give me little guys like mini’s like Nate Robinson. Somehow Bob Huggins

    Magnus, a true UT grad would make like a banana and split for the closest sports bar. Jack Bauer’s a cool guy, but unless Elisha Cuthbert is going to walk around nakeder than the day she was born, there ain’t no reason to pick a jumped the shark tv show over your jumped the

    I have no predictions. This team has too much potential to win, yet not shown enough for me to believe that this will definitely be a victory too. That said, Tim Duncan will stomp a mud hole in Pau Gasol’s ass. Or DJ Mbenga’s…

    Kyle Lusson has never demonstrated the slightest ability to contribute offensively. If everyone else is knocking the cover off the ball and he’s saving a run a game with his glove, then I can see playing him. Otherwise…
