Williams of UCONN arrested too

Kenny Brunner who went to the same high school as Tayshaun Price and was from all reports a very good student (was even voted class president). We didn't know he was crazy until he got to Gtown and started acting funny. The point though is that while at GU he didn't do anything criminal. It was until he was under the guidance of Tark at Fresno that he began to believe he was a character in "Shogun."


Also when Ed Sheffey got into trouble with the law one summer HT put him on indefinite leave. Sheffey didn't practice or play with the team up thtough the middle of January which was when he decided it was time to leave because JT did not give him any indication he was going to let him back on the team anytime soon. Compare that to El-Amin's situation at UConn after he was caught by the police with drugs in a "leased" car during the spring after the Huskies won the '99 championship. Calhoun did not keep El-Amin out of one single game the following season. Big difference wouldn't you agree.

Also the worst kept secret is that of a talented GU player who was asked to step away from the team after the coaches learned he had stolen from the dorm rooms of other undergrads. Again that's a big difference from how things are handled at UConn.

As for Iverson he was no saint but did you ever hear of any trouble he caused while at GU. As for his high school conviction not only was it thrown out by the governor, a Virginia court would eventually overturn the verdict a few years later and chastise Virginia law officials for arresting Iverson and the other guys in the first place on such flimsy evidence. Their decision to overturn that verdict cleared AI's record and wiped that conviction off the record books. Of course AI in a giving mood would later as a pro give law officials other opportunities to arrest him again.


Anyway below is a list of some of the offenses against UConn players over the last few years. It was put together by a Terp fan from a Twerp site. If you think this happens at GU at that rate you're mistaken.



CONNECTICUT
ANDERSON, RASHARD
9/02
UConn freshman basketball player Rashad Anderson was arrested on Sept. 16. for threatening and breach of peace. The police report stated there was a complaint of a person hiding in the woods near the Hilltop dormitories dressed in black and wearing a mask. The report also stated the person was scaring pedestrians. Officers, who arrived on scene, found Anderson hiding in the woods wearing a blue jump suit, mask and he was holding what appeared to be a bloody knife. sports.yahoo.com/ncaab/ne...nnbas.html


COX, MARCUS
2/01
Connecticut basketball player Marcus Cox was given a special form of probation Tuesday in connection with a marijuana bust on Feb. 22. A Vernon Superior Court judge granted Cox's application for accelerated rehabilitation. Cox will be on the probation for one year, and the drug possession charge will be erased from his record if he stays out of trouble. Cox was arrested on campus last month while riding in a vehicle driven by former St. John's player Jack Wolfinger, a boyhood friend. Police said they stopped the vehicle for swerving and detected the smell of marijuana. Cox told police the pot was his. University officials suspended Cox after his arrest, and he remained on suspension Tuesday.

2/01
Basketball player Marcus Cox was suspended by the University of Connecticut after he was arrested for possession of marijuana. The sophomore guard was arrested early Thursday while riding in a car on campus. Police stopped the car for a motor vehicle violation at 12:43 a.m. and the officer could smell marijuana, according to the arrest report. A search of the car turned up 10.2 grams of marijuana. Police said the 19-year-old Cox, passenger in the car, told them the marijuana belonged to him. Coach Jim Calhoun, who said the suspension is indefinite, would not comment until the investigation was complete. Cox is a former state high school player of the year out of Bridgeport's Kolbe-Cathedral. He was suspended earlier this month for skipping a team meeting Feb. 5, the night before the Huskies played Providence.

ROBERTSON, TONY
WRENN, DOUG
Connecticut has lifted the suspensions of freshmen Tony Robertson and Doug Wrenn. Coach Jim Calhoun suspended the pair Friday, a day before an 85-66 loss at Michigan State, following an offcampus incident. Farmington police reportedly are investigating whether the players improperly received merchandise last month at a Westfarms mall store. ``I made one mistake,'' Robertson said, without elaborating on the reason for the penalty. ``I'll get over it. And i just want to get on with the rest of the season.'' Robertson practiced on Tuesday, but Wrenn did not.

WRENN, DOUG
Doug Wrenn, Connecticut's promising freshman swingman, has run out of second chances with basketball coach Jim Calhoun. The 6-6 Wrenn was kicked off the team Saturday after his campus arrest on a breach of peace charge. The arrest came during the university's Spring Weekend -- the often-rowdy, last few days
before final exams. Campus police said more than two dozen UConn students had been arrested since Thursday on a variety of charges ranging from underage drinking to criminal mischief. Wrenn, who is due in court on May 10, was arrested just after 12:30 a.m. Saturday after a report of a dormitory disturbance. He allegedly was shoving and swearing at dorm staff stationed at outside doors. It's been one thing after another with Wrenn at Connecticut. He and reserve center Souleymane Wane were suspended for the Duke game in November for taking a taxi instead of the team bus home from the first game of the season against Iowa during the Coaches vs. Cancer tournament in Madison Square Garden. He also was cited by police outside a New Haven bar a month earlier for allegedly creating a public disturbance. At the time, Calhoun said the citation was like a parking ticket and reprimanded Wrenn. In February, Wrenn and freshman point guard Tony Robertson were suspended for a game while police investigated whether they took part in a scheme to swap tickets for boots at a Hartford-area clothing store. No charges were filed. When he was at the court in March after his last suspension, Wrenn said he had no intention of transferring. "I am going to stay at the University of Connecticut," he said at that time. "They are going to have to throw me out of this school, but I'm going to be a Husky until I die."

GORDON, BEN
2/03
Connecticut guard Ben Gordon was arrested early Friday morning after allegedly slapping a female student. According to the police report, originally obtained by the Journal Inquirer of Manchester, Gordon was charged with assault and disorderly conduct. The report says a woman flagged down a campus police officer near Gampel Pavilion. The woman, who had a bloody lip and was upset and crying, asked police to arrest Gordon. He was released on $1,000 bond.
