Really excited to see what he can do. If he can go at this level consistently, we'll have a damn good team with depth beyond anything we've had in my memory.
 
According to a poster on 247, Marvin got arrested. DUI/poss. of marijuana
 
Of course everybody deserves a second chance but if he is prone to dumbassery bait may need to be cut. Don't need a culture/chemistry leak..
 
DUI is a really bad look

I agree if it is a DUI that most of us think of when hearing the term, and in no way defending any behavior, but let's wait to hear the details before we determine the severity or stupidity of his actions. For anyone that has lived on ANY college campus, let alone OUPD and NPD, he could have been sitting in his car drinking and had a joint in his pocket, resulting in a DUI and possession charges.

You would think a college athlete on scholarship would be more cognizant of his actions and consequences, but it happens all the time everywhere, including one of our football players a week or two ago. What IS troubling in this case is the fact he just transferred in and has now got a huge mark on his record and reputation with the law, Moser, the administration, and the fanbase.

Sometimes kids get in more trouble when they come home than when they're away.

without question this is correct ...


we also don't even know if it was a legal stop ....


when i was at OU (clearly a long time ago) driving late at night was a pretty common reason to be stopped on or near campus ..
 

i mean there is a very very good chance that it was a legal stop ...



but i think i was pulled over in college 10 times after 1am .. .. always was asked if I "had been drinking" and then either given a bogus warning for something like late turn signal .. or touching the outside line of the road ... or sometimes something like be careful you can go ..

0 tickets in those 10 stops
 
Currently no court documents online suggesting an arrest.
 
Are you serious? Who gets the scholarship, Johnson or Big Rick?

I think Rick staying put them at 13. Well, good news I guess. He seems like a great prospect. Just hope he, again, can keep his nose clean and more importantly buy in, be a great teammate, and contribute to great team chemistry.

I wonder what actually happened behind the scenes..
 
In general, I'd rather Coach Moser (any new coach, really) establish his bona fides as a no-nonsense coach early on, but of course, I don't have any idea what's gone on to get us to this point, so I'll trust his judgment. But I do hope Johnson will be kept on the shortest of leashes.

I agree with that. If what he did was not worth getting kicked off the team, then Coach Moser would not have been trying to bring in another player. Since we know he did try to bring in someone else, I guess he sent a really odd message. Imagine being told that you're welcome to stick around if we don't find anyone better. I'm not sure that's how it played out, but that's certainly how it looks. Regardless, Johnson is likely on the shortest of leashes.
