Tony Mitchell busted on weed and gun charge

[VirginiaTide57]

wonder if he was dealing to team mates, and how prevalent is pot use among the players…needs to go…can’t have this in the locker room.

We need to realize that it probably is prevalent in ALL programs and there is NO way to get it out. I teach middle/high school and it's everywhere. We are heading, as a society, toward it being as legal and prevalent as alcohol.

It's all about choices - some better than others.

This is the issue and why he very well could lose his spot on the team, even if the charges clear up somehow. No matter what a state level law is on legalization, the NCAA still tests for THC as a banned substance and players can lose eligibility if they test positive, so the staff can't take a risk that a player would be bringing that amount or that bad of a habit with this stuff into the program.

Interesting picture.

But two sincere questions:

First, how do we know it has anything to do with Mitchell’s situation?

Second, are police photographs now public record, accessible on Instagram?

FTR — I‘m not saying Mitchell is pure. The article and its excerpts from the police report are damning. If the report is accurate, he has to be gone.

I’m questioning the provenance of a photo posted on Instagram.

4Q that pic is from the sheriff's FaceBook page. In Madison County, Alabama pictures of drug and weapons seizures are routinely posted on media. Common practice I reckon.

Colorado here he comes (after parole)

Our guy's need to stay out of the panhandle. Bonifay is about 55 miles from Clarksville where Trey Sanders had his car wreck. Both along the I-10 corridor.

Let’s keep it remotely connected to football. Not the place to debate “weed”

 

[CajunCrimson]

What’s funny/concerning to me, is that 15 years ago you had to sell your textbooks to buy weed. Now with NIL, you don’t have to.

You can bail on your team during break to turn that NIL money into a new business.

If Mitchell was involved in this type of stuff in high school. It looks like we would have been aware of it and not offered in the first place. Word gets around about such stuff going on. Doesn’t he have a younger brother that is a big time prospect? I hope he learns from his brother’s mistakes.

Judgement ( choices ) and a sense of responsibility have to be taught at home.......or not.

Didn't we all suspect Peter Woods must be smoking something??

So amazing to me that people with lots to lose make these stupid decisions. I have a really hard time believing that someone at Bama did not know the kid had some character issues when recruiting him. If so, why sign the kid. Now you lost out on a chance to have another safety recruit for 2023 and might need to dip into the portal after Bama lost Hellams and Battle last year.

Good gracious, I can smell that picture (and I haven't touched the stuff in over 25 years.)

What about CNS's recruiting over the years leads you to conclude he goes after high risk kids?

Unless he had prior legal issues, what kind of character issues would lead anyone to think he's a drug dealer?

Are you aware of any such issues, or are you just tilting at windmills?
