Ant. Hargro arrested in Jackson for robbery, assault

He apparently fled into Jackson. Good Move. However, apparently he should have picked one of the areas where the cops won't even go.
It totally clarified matters for those of us who didn't understand the subtlety of Stormrider's post.
Get a job as an investment banker? He's probably not intelligent enough to hand me my tacos at the drive-thru.
it makes you wonder where the players met these thugs, and if the current players hang around with Starkville criminals.
criminals via the football program and its negative impact on Starkville FAR outweighs the negative influence that the mean streets of Starkville have on our football players.</p>
and I think his theory may be one that may have more legs than you'd think.
I've thought about the interplay of culture between your average recruit from inner city Jackson, New Orleans, or Atlanta once he gets to Oxford, Morgantown, Auburn or Starkville. For the most part, it's not like they're just going to immediately take up crappie fishing at Enid Lake as a hobby, suddenly love to squirrel hunt, or start taping Panic shows and discussing set lists at Bonnaroo because they move to a place that is largely an enclave for rural and suburban youth. If you bring in five guys from NOLA, and one of them in addition to being a marginal FB player is also loosely connected to drugs, violence, etc. often times through little direct fault of his own, do you think his tendency to be involved in stuff like that just wains? Where does his influence become a detritment to what, in the instances of Starkville and Oxford, are relatively low drug traffic and safe communities. If you're a punk, you're not gonna just become a Campus Crusader because suddenly you're not in the ghetto. You think Brown and Wesley, for instance, suddenly became 2nd Amendment proponents after they moved to Starkville?
Read Feldman's book about the disastrous reign of terror that Orgeron wrought on Ole Miss football or the Lewis book about Oher and you'll clearly see that alot of these young men (notice I didn't say "kids") are woefully unprepared for college life, whether the subjects are academic or social.

I imagine they get connected through passing at a night spot or purchases. Also, I imagine if you have a player that likes to blaze up then he probably visits these criminals often. Then when he has nothing to do (after he flunks out and is kicked off the football team) he hangs around blazing up with the only buddy he has left.
I think in Walkers and Burchs cases. They were buying for personal use. Then saw how their dealer was making easy money and decided to sling some themselves. They became valuable to the dealer because they had an "in" at a college with plenty of potential customers.
Just a theory.</p>

but my original point was about former players turning into full-fledged criminals (Walker, Prather, and now Hargro), not necessarily what Brown and Wesley did.
My Blame-MSU-First antenna is turned up pretty high, I may have misinterpreted his meaning.

Knowing Bob Hargro, sadly, jail might be his best career option.

No joking. He's just a bit too free of a spirit for his own good, not evil but simply careless with bad trouble always a step away for himself and others. Hopefully a strictly-structured lifestyle, however tough the setting, for some years can set him right

I am about as far from a free spirit as you can imagine. But, while perhaps not in conformity with conservative society, being a free spirit is not a reason to lock someone up. I wouldnt' characterize kicking someone's door down, pistol whipping them, stealing money and a camera, and fleeing the scene as being a free spirit who is careless.
Using Gene's Page logic, if you are free spirited or open minded, you need to be locked up, thread and all, and kept away from the rest of the sheep. I guess the same free spirited Jonathan Papelbon needs to be locked up in prison as well. To keep him from using profanity such as "damn" at MSU events.
