He the recruit that all his other offers were pulled because of his actions?
a CB from Florida? Just because he made an official visit to Minnesota on the night in question does not mean he is the recruit in question. Surely, Minnesota had other recruits that weekend, right?
I see your point. But in the United States of America. Their is the little thing called "Due Process." Has this kid even been charged with a crime? No. Jeff Brohm most certainly would take his commitment.
I read the police report. Well...I should say I read as much as I could before I had to stop because it was too difficult to get through. Either IU didn't think people would find out that their new recruit would soon be facing sexual assault charges or they didn't conduct due diligence on him. News reports certainly read as if all other schools dropped their offers to him so one would think IU would've/should've known. One would think that IU would pull the offer once word gets out what this young man has done. Either way - shame on IU for not doing their homework or for thinking they could accept this player into this state without anyone noticing.Interesting first commitment for Tom Allen.

So you guys have seen the video and you know that it's him? Sounds more like a "rumor."

I mean, this kids not a Boy Scout, but at least the girl wasn't 13, amirite?Kind of a double standard here...fire a coach for being bully, but welcome a recruit involved in a sexual assault situation?
according to the one report, he was a minor at the time, and as part of the hearing, they thought about charging her with sexual assault. She pleaded the 5th to all questions referring to him. another reason the charges were dropped. Where is the source that said all his other schools dropped their offers?
I didn't think high school football players could sign LOI's until February.I'm pretty sure the kid already signed with IU so idk how that would work if they wanted to drop him.
I think he was A mid year graduate and they can sign financial aid papers once they have their high school diploma if I'm not mistakenI didn't think high school football players could sign LOI's until February.
just finished reading several stories and the 80 page report. the IU coach said he never questioned him about it and the subject never came up.

He didn't sign an loi. He signed his financial paper work.he signed an LOI this week, not just gave a verbal commitment. his plan was to enter college early. would be very odd , but not unusual for IU to accept an LOI only to deny it. IU would have to show cause. Admittedly, there is a ton of cause in that 80 page report, but if IU were to deny this athlete after the report came out 7 December and he signed an LOI on 19 December, it doesn't look very good for the administration of their program.
He didn't sign an loi. He signed his financial paper work.
If this kid has done anything wrong, Tom Allen won't let him play at IU.
in reading the 80 page report, this recruit initiated the entire situation. he's referred to as the recruit. his Minn football team sponsor wanted him to have a fun weekend. So he took him to his apartment and had him on the couch with the girl he knew, and then all three went to the bedroom for some sexual activity. he was the first, and he didn't take no for an answer. The entire party started as an effort to entertain the recruit with the girl. and once the recruit was finished, the others wanted to join in the fun.
I understand that. But it sounds pretty consentual. And this practice has been used for years in recruiting. Not saying I condone it though.
It appears from the report that she was a friend of the one Minn football player who brought her to his party to show the recruit a good time. She even had several shots before arriving to get in the mood. she surely knew the evening was going to involve sex, just not how much. She sat and flirted on the couch with the recruit, and then the player and girl led the recruit to his bed room. while the girl and the minn player were getting it on, the recruit came in by surprise from behind and went inside. her initial "no" was not convincing enough and meant yes to the recruit. and once he was finished, he stood at the door and encouraged others to come on down, you're the next contestant on the girl is right. All of this is included in the 80 page report. the only reason the recruit doesn't have a separate chapter was because he's not a U of minn player. I'm also not sure the school interviewed him. I know the police did and he said it was consensual and she being over 19, and he being under 18 led to a possible rape charge for her, even though he was the initiator of the sex. Also not included in the report, I have to believe the people at the party including the recruit were not drinking mellow yellow. and since the majority were first and second year players, I have to believe they were all under 21, although under age drinking charges were not filed by the police, and there was no proof for the school interviews.
He's not coming to Indiana. The University did not accept that commitment. And technically he wasn't the first commitment to Allen, that was JUCO LB Mike McGinnis.Interesting first commitment for Tom Allen.
