Yes, I know there is a thread already but this deserves it's own post.  Get ready for Miss Stank to make him team captain.  Pathetic

Oh my. This video. https://www.seccountry.com/mississippi-state/report-five-star-mississippi-state-signee-apologizes-after-video-of-altercation-with-woman-allegedly-surfaces ...

[kodiakisland]

Dang.  Those two should at least see a day in court over that.  Pretty pathetic that a guy that big feels the need to throw multiple punches into a girls head while she's on the ground.  Wonder if he is still welcome at Miss State?  My feeling is Bielema would tell him he no longer has a place here.

[BigSexyHog]

Yeah its pretty bad but I doubt Miss Stank does anything and even of they do 25 schools will be lining up to sign him.  It's all about W's

Although I agree with what you are saying... That kid needs jail time.

[Rzbakfromwaybak]

This seems to be the normal every year in the offseason.  Some high ranking recruit beating up some woman.  Disgusting, & needs to be arrested.

[BigSexyHog]

Story is picking up steam.  See how this plays out.

Highest rated 5 star incoming recruit for Mississippi State was caught on video pummeling a woman last week with his fists. Will Coach Mullen do the right thing and release him or sweep this under the rug? I am thankful to have a man of integrity in Coach B running things up here.

[AirWarren]

He will sign continue to sign. With flying colors.


Not many people are excused from these types of actions in society.  But a 5 star blue chip athlete that MISS STATE needs, he will be.

[rhames]

Disgusting

[southarkhog06]

Sooners lock

[hobhog]

Guess you better not mention his nephews or family around him.....which everyone will now that they know his Kryptonite.

[OLDHOG]

My GOD. Will it never end?

[jgphillips3]

"You recruit your own problems"

[pigture perfect]

I believe some sort of punishment will ensue, just how much would be the question.

[PorkRinds]

Yep.  His opponents will now have a good idea how to get into his head, if nothing else.  In all reality, he's just using that as an excuse for the fact that he beat a woman.

[Pig in the Pokey]

Wow. He hit that poor woman like 10 times. Then let her get whipped by a 500 lb woman. That wasn't right!

[ricepig]

Mullen will probably suspend him from spring practice.............since he's still in high school.

[porkinsons disease]

1 year "suspension " at most, which will just be used as a redshirt year
The Joe Mixon treatment

[3kgthog]

There are mistakes of judgment and mistakes of character. I believe this qualifies as the latter.

[go hogues]

Mullen has to keep up with the Beav up North - who would for sure do nothing - so the punishment will be carried out before league play arrives.

[hoghiker]

Bad way to start a career.

[The_Iceman]

Sooners lock

I would say Auburn lock, but Bob Stoops loves him those women beaters.

Certainly won't be Tenner.  They prefer their assaults on females to be of a different variety...

[Seebs]

The right thing? Good Lord - what was right about any of that?  no decisions need to be made - that is a closed case.

[Hog in Iowa]

I wonder if Mullen will pull a "Les Miles" and let the team vote whether to suspend him or not?  We all know what the outcome of that one will be and that way the coach can claim it was out of his hands.

[lahawg1]

I really don't think FB should be an option at this point. There should be significant jail time over this, a 5 ft 175# woman against a 6 ft 3 275# man is no match IMHO.


And I don't care who he is or where he is committed too.

[AirWarren]

My GOD. Will it never end?

Nope. A thug will be a thug. Always.

[cardinalandwhite]

She was talking bad about my deceased nephews, and I was raised in church! Sure sounds contrite.

[lasthog]

Do the right thing? Drop him like a hot potato.

In the current invironment in football, retaining him would be a Pyrrhic victory, IMO.

[Hog_Swanson]

Mods, take this down if I'm breaking rules.

[26.2Hog]

Guess you better not mention his nephews or family around him.....which everyone will now that they know his Kryptonite.

Exactly. I mean can you imagine the things that will be said to him by opposing players if/when he plays in a collegiate football game?

[DeltaBoy]

Sad can you say Call Baylor or Houston.

[southarkhog06]

I wonder if Mullen is telling the guy that shot the video that he betrayed the team?........

[PorkRinds]

After watching the video it becomes obvious that his excuse and apology was complete crap.  He wasn't defending anyone's honor.  The woman was already getting her butt kicked.  He just jumped in on it.  He was giddy and excited, you can tell by the way he was jumping around.  Not only that, he left the fight and then came BACK to it.

[Justifiable Hogicide]

Surprised he didn't pick Ole Miss in the first place.

This is exactly what I thought after watching it.  He got his cheap thoughts in and didn't realize someone was filming it.

Edit: He is only sorry that he got caught.

Not only that, he hit the woman while she was laying on the ground!

[bkjbearcat]

The last thing any coach wants to see is his 5 star prize recruit on World Star Hip-Hop.

[Bam, Alright Now]

Hell if Mullen was smart he would double down and give an offer to the Big Bertha partner in crime and slap her on the O line next year.

Great avatar.

BAM. ALRIGHT NOW!

Willie, my man!!!

[BOAR_N2BWILD]

No I don't think Dan Mullen will do the right thing because it is months away from football and everyone will "forget" by then. I think it will be an apology type thing.

[dbhog]

Sooners lock

He would fit right in with Joe Mixon for the Sooners.  Cannot stomach people who beat up women.

[rmcchris]

Out first half of first game, a MS thing.  He should be in jail.  The star thing doesn't always work out and as someone put it, might just be their own karma and poison.

[greasy_corner]

Pitiful.

[Smokehouse]

The Joe Mixon treatment

The difference between him and Mixon is that the tape of Mixon never went public (the victim is keeping a tight lid on it so its release doesn't mess with the civil suit against Mixon). OU reporters (some of whom got access to watch the video) seem pretty convinced that had it gotten out, Stoops hand would have been forced more than it was.

Regardless of what Mullen wants to do, this is going to turn into too big of a PR disaster if he doesn't kick him off the team, I would think.

Meh, the media infatuation with Ole Miss is just powerful enough to cover MSU too, which means writers will keep it contained until it either blows over or he's convicted. They never once spoke of the Nkemdiche thing last summer until well into the season after it had been sorted out.

[(notOM)Rebel123]

Sad. And there is no excuse for his behavior...But why doesn't anyone ever question those who choose to just stand around doing nothing or would rather be videoing an incident with their cell phone instead of trying to break up a fight? crazy world we live in.
But....trying to help break it up doesn't mean joining in the fight & hitting a woman.
