He wasn't thinking like most 17 year olds. Probably won't affect his scholarship. Eggs don't equal sacks. Just a fact.

I sure hope this incident doesn't affect his scholarship, and I'm hoping he wasn't driving under the influence also.  I'm all for 2nd chances and I know he'll learn and grow from this experience.  However, no player (or recruit for this matter) is above the team.  For the sake of self-worth and to gain respect from the team and the community, some kind of punishment is due and expected.  This is something that should not be swept under the rug.  Eggs equal vandalism; eggs don't equal integrity...facts.

Remember he is a 17 year old kid looking to have some fun, and that meant vandalizing something and someone.   He is not the victim here but the perpetrator.  

This incident can be a reflection of his true character.  Does he accept blame and take the responsibilty and the punishment?  Or does he claim his innocence and continue this destructive behavior? 

Now we get to see what kind of a person he is before he takes the field.  This is a good thing: if he cannot handle this adversity then he cannot handle college ball.   How he reacts will define who he is.  Already his playing days at St. Louis have been over, now we will get to see if his days at Hawai'i are over or about to begin.

I wouldn't think that trowing eggs is enough to take a young kids scholarship away. they shouldn't hell lots of kids do that when growing up.

OsoonerU#1...I'm pretty sure his scholarship won't be taken away.  I'm curious to see what the outcome will be.  This isn't the only egging incident...it's been going on for quite some time, and guess what...they finally got caught!  I'm just glad no one got hurt in the process.  Ever get hit with an egg?  OUCH!!!  Vandalism is vandalism and still a crime.

Glad you never got caught Osooner.  I grew up in a small town and tight-knit community.  We were taught never to be wasteful, so eggings were out of the question.  Hey, that's breakfast, lunch and dinner, man!  There was one instance where I did get caught...beating up on a bully.  He took our football and refused to return it, so I had to do what I had to do.  With a very stern look, my dad told me to never do it again, then as he turned and walked away, I could hear him chuckling.  Yup, that guy ratted on me.  Well, I never did it again, and that bully never bothered me again either.  A happy ending for everyone...

LOL...nonbcsfan, believe me, my kid brother had his share of beatings from me.  My dad was very wise...he'd whoop both of us cause he knew that li'l brother is an instigator (he was nicknamed Bad Boy).  Nah, that guy was one of the town bullies and I shouldn't say he ratted on me.  When he got home with a bloody nose, he was forced to tell.  No doubt his dad was an unhappy camper indeed to find out that his son got beat up by a girl!

well i am sure that his dad wouldn't be proud if he found out that his son beat a girl up... so it was a no win situation for the lad...
