1.6 grams !!! I have seen strippers do more than than in one night. I agree he did a bad thing. But jail time for this would be ridiculous. Yes IU is a storied program, but do you really think no past players or coaches has abused drugs???

Good to hear we're taking the higher ground here. Kelvin is trying to re-create a program and not including a questionable character-type guy is a great way to show this.

It doesn't hurt that it looks like we're in the running for several strong guards to replace Mackey.

Whether he will graduate high school is in question.His high school may expel him Whether he gets jail time is in question.Time will tell. But playing for IU was not in question.-NO. Katz is stating the obvious.

This really sucks for Bud at least for now....I think the best thing for Bud to do is to go into basketball seclusion via prep school or juco, mature, get a strong foundation academically, and get away from the spotlight for some time. Doing this can heal some wounds, restore some faith, and show he some well needed maturity. Not to mention settle all legal matters completely.

Bud if this is true, kid we normally don't adopt or even get KY kids in the candy stripes but we did and you dissapointed us....just think of all the "This Bud's for you T-shirts"
