He better hope the judge isn't reading BGP!

 

It's a lot closer than Atlanta...

Can you tell us who they are?

 

Xavier is a strong possibility as well.Right now Xavier and Cincy are like 1a and 1b.As far as the article about him and McCleod,those were started off 100% hearsay.He is trying to get his life back together and enroll at a prep school in Cincy.It's a shame to think what could have been with Scott co. this year if he had not screwed up.Top 10-15 ranking easily.

First I cannot speak to Mr. Mackey's case directly as I am personally unaware of what exactly is being proposed for resolution. However, I am a criminal defense lawyer with over 20 years of experience representing persons who find themselves in this predicament. There are a number of resolutions available with agreement by the prosecutor and court. He could be eligible for drug court which is available in Scott County if certain amendments to the charge are made. For instance, a simple possession charge versus trafficking. Drug Court's emphasis is on rehabilitation not incarceration. If successful in drug court, diversion of the charges would result in a dismissal and not a conviction. Many times, a condition of diversion is going to school to attempt to better yourself versus going to jail with the deadend that that brings. This is available to individuals who have no prior felony charges etc. I know that some may say that this would made available to Mackey because of his athletic prowess but that is not correct. I represent many young individuals who are not involved in athletics that the same offer is made. Obviously, if he does not satisfy all conditions of the drug court (which will not be a walk in the park) the charges are re-instated and prosecution would follow.

Unless his bond conditions specifically prohibit him from living in a particular place, he can live where he chooses if he lives by all other conditions.

Hope he gets it together and don't waste his talent!!!!

I've been told that if he gets his issues resolved he will be a Bearcat...

If he gets himself straight I don't think I'd have a problem with it either. Nothing wrong with giving a kid a second shot. We all make mistakes. Id keep him on a short leash and make sure that he knows it too though.

Cronin took a chance on Adam Chiles at Murray State, and it worked out great ... for one year.

UC is putting the most heat according to prepwebsites. Mick will have to slide this kid past Nancy thats for sure. Honestly, I hope he gets his life in order and becomes a law abiding citizen and finishes school.

Mackey can't leave Georgetown without the judge's approval, he is awaiting a grand jury trial and is out on a 10,000 full cash bond. He can talk all he wants but he will not be playing anywhere unless the situation in Georgetown is resolved or the judge lets him go, which IMO is far from happening, by the way remember he has been charged with two felonies!

 

One felony was dropped to a misdemeanor I believe.

Put basketball aside. I just hope this young man can get his life back on track.
