RJ Adams, Jutahn McClain, Andru Phillips, Earnest Sanders IV, Vito Tisdale and Joel Williams.

Tisdale also has an added charge of wanton endangerment after he pointed a firearm at the victim whose house the group was burglarizing on March 6 after being asked to leave a party at the victim's private residence earlier that evening.

Wow.

6 guys facing felony burglary back in March were held out of team activities until June, when the “student conduct” council cleared them to rejoin team activities?

Mark Stoops has a discipline problem on his team? Who knew.

UK was an Outlaw Program back in the day and it doesn't appear much has changed.

Just win, baby.

Yikes! Big time football players out of BGHS haven't had a good look in recent years. Jamale Carothers gets booted from Navy for honor code violations, Vito Tisdale facing burglary and wanton endangerment charges here, and Nacarius Fant was found guilty on drug trafficking charges.

When you throw out 500 offers a year and see what sticks, sometimes you can’t vet the kid.

This comes from being enamored with the kid as an athlete and being willing to overlook character flaws.

Not surprised.

Stoops has always had a "win at all costs" mentality and that is reflected in the lack of discipline and character in some of his players.

I am surprised. This has nothing to do with Stoops. This is personal character.  I am always surprised when college athletes do this type of behavior.

I was thinking the same thing. I would really have to think that colleges start strongly vetting a player or just not recruiting much from Bowling Green.  I'm sure many will say the issues are happening in college but there is definitely a trend coming out of that high school.

I'm not surprised.  This is a regular thing with the program at UK under Stoops.  I believe he's done a good job--better than I ever expected--but he needs to crack the whip more IMO.

Wow, that's not good at all.

He only recruited them, in-house visits, hours of weekly phone calls and brought them to Lexington.
