Coach Jeff, a word to the wise. It is best not to contradict Earl. Just take what he says and be glad he said it.
He is a mod.
He is an attorney.
He is well connected with the program.
He probably does know what the charge on the "failed to appear in court" case was, and my guess is it was not pretty.

Tidefans is not a democracy. It is more of a benevolent dictatorship.

Good advice there Tidewater. Think of Tide HSV as a father you don't talk back to.

Could actually be good for the young man. He has loads of ability, and has not had the light switch go on yet. This is a relatively minor thing considering where he could end up if he doesn't turn around.

It could be good if he took it seriously, but he doesn't appear to be doing so.

"Lol y'all actin like somebody died cause my seatbelt was off," Kamara wrote in a tweet that included several emoticons. " ... lock me up, Guantanamo Bay so I can't hurt nobody else. ... I'm a criminal."

I certainly know enough to assert it. The arrest wasn't for a crime against anyone per se, so it's victimless. It's a bit of semantics though.

I repeat. This is not a matter of record at this time. If you have other credible sources that it was, in your view, an "innocent" offense, by all means, enlighten us now, if you have sources you can reveal. However, let me tell you now that no judge and no attorney considers "failure to appear" to be a de minimis offense. It basically usually removes any chance at future leniency and shows an attitude of contempt towards the law and courts. I also do not consider his traffic offense to be "victimless." For one thing, his mother will have a difficult time ever renting another car, unless she can carry off the lie again. After all, she insured him in the rental agreement to her last bottom dollar, and then violated it, which may say something her attitude toward the law also. In addition, an extremely high percentage of serious injuries and fatalities are caused by - wait for it - unlicensed and suspended license drivers. I'm sure their victims wouldn't agree with your characterizations. Now, if you have confidential information you'd like to convey to me via PM, beyond the bald assertions you've made, do so, and we'll discuss it. Until then, I'm telling you're out of this discussion. You should listen...

[HR][/HR]If he has a charge for missing a court date then this isn't his first brush with the law. I wonder if this is why he seemed to stay in the doghouse?

There has been a bunch of stuff, a lot of which shouldn't be shared on here, but it all points in the direction of irresponsibility and even malice towards the UA program. This is a kid with a lot of learn and he doesn't seem to be trying to learn it. Some of the things he's said border on the incredible. I would hate to predict his future at this point, but I've seen too many familiar trajectories...

He doesn't play QB.

Well now that he's been arrested, is he eligible to immediately sign with Auburn or does he have to sit out a year first?

Does FTA (failure to appear) not carry with it a "no bond"?

Depen on what a person failed to appear for. If it was a traffic citation, I've usually just seen people sit out the fine in a municipal jail (they don't even bother taking them to county). If it's more serious, they'll likely reinstate a bond, but set it higher and/or have more conditions of release.
