Alabama's Brandon Miller • Feb 23, 2023 02:09 PM

Sounds like no legal issues forthcoming for Miller. But the coach is making an ass of himself and handling the situation poorly.

Alabama's Brandon Miller • Feb 23, 2023 02:07 PM

According to Standridge, Miller was already on his way to pick up Miles when Miles texted him to bring him his gun on the night of the shooting. Standridge wrote that Miller never saw Miles' handgun and that it was "concealed under some clothing in the back seat" of Miller's car. He added that Miller never touched the gun or was involved in its exchange to Davis, the alleged shooter.

Police had testified Tuesday that Davis was dancing in front of Harris' Jeep, leading to an exchange between Davis and Harris' boyfriend, Cedric Johnson.

According to Standridge, Miller was unaware of the confrontation between the two parties, didn't get out of his car and had already parked it when Johnson's Jeep later pulled up behind him, thereby not intentionally blocking its exit.

Miller, whose windshield was hit by gunfire, left when the shooting started.

"All of the events described above are clearly captured on video," Standridge wrote. "There is no dispute about Brandon's activities during this evening."

Following the police testimony, Oats said the school had known about Miller's presence at the scene, adding that his player was in the "wrong spot at the wrong time." Byrne told ESPN that Oats had not been briefed on the new information that emerged in the hearing, which led on Tuesday night to Oats clarifying what he called his "unfortunate remarks" earlier in the day.

He opened his postgame news conference Wednesday night by again apologizing for what he initially said Tuesday.

"I am not here to make excuses, but I want to make it clear that I didn't have the details from the hearing that morning, since I was coming straight from practice," Oats said. "And I used a poor choice of words, making it appear like I was not taking this tragic situation seriously, which we have throughout the course of it. I sincerely apologize for that."

Welcome Elmarko Jackson! • Feb 23, 2023 01:55 PM

While I selfishly can come up with 100 reasons Gradey should come back, you only need to know his draft stock to see he should go.

Alabama's Brandon Miller • Feb 23, 2023 01:53 PM

@mayjay I would think it is nearly impossible to prove that Miller knew Miles’ intent beyond a shadow of a doubt. Thus the reluctance to prosecute.

…sorry. Detour ahead. • Feb 23, 2023 02:31 AM

To Gradey Confuscious ponders, “Man who says one in hand is worth two in bush, isn’t playing with Dick.”

Alabama's Brandon Miller • Feb 22, 2023 05:38 PM

Star athlete in Alabama in legal trouble. Nah

Alabama's Brandon Miller • Feb 22, 2023 03:33 PM

@stoptheflop I’d be shocked if anything happened to Miller.

While I can’t see an innocent reason to bring someone a gun instead of hauling their friends dumb ass out of the situation, maybe there is one. Maybe this huge body building biker girl gang was beating the thunder out of his puny pocket protector nerdy friend and he was stuck in a wheelchair at that moment and the only way to save his friends life was to break out a firearm. rolls eyes I mean he could’ve tried to de-escalate the situation, but he threw fire on it. It may not have gone the way he imagined, but what good could bringing a gun to an altercation in progress do? Just a series of terrible choices. His momma should be ashamed for the horrible job she did raising her child if this is what he thinks is a good life decision.

Alabama's Brandon Miller • Feb 22, 2023 03:12 PM

The DA says there is nothing to charge Miller with. Seems shady; why is he not an accessory? Bringing the shooter his gun - the claim was for self defense is one thing, but if he also blocked in her car then that paints a different picture. One of an ambush.

What was that? "MOJO TRANSFER!" • Feb 21, 2023 05:48 PM

@nuleafjhawk said in What was that? "MOJO TRANSFER!":

@dylans It's not the same. Yes, Wooden was an incredible coach. But, he had unlimited access to whomever he wanted. And everyone wanted to play for him. I don't know (or believe) that he'd have those kinds of numbers in today's world.

I don’t believe he would either, but he did. No taking away what happened. Many think he was a cheater. The tournament had less participants. He got all the talent Etc. he just won it every stinking year. - if just talent accumulation was all it took to win Kentucky would have won most years since Cal arrived.

The only argument that I feel isn’t disingenuous is - there is no catching him so why talk about Wooden? Forget he exists and your guy can be considered for GOAT

Modern GoAT status is up for debate. All time is still Wooden’s. For comparison Wooden coached 27 years and won 10 championships. Coach K - 5 championships in 42 years. Bill has 2 in 25 years, but he’s the GOAT in my heart.

What was that? "MOJO TRANSFER!" • Feb 21, 2023 01:53 PM

Everyone is vying for the #2 spot. Wooden has #1 tied up in a way that can’t be replicated. - if all you care about are championships and not how they came to be. For modern coaches Bill has to be top 5 if not top 3. For active coaches #1, every one of his peers retired.

I like this one. It take you to a page that has a text line. They will regret this post! Have fun all

@kjayhawks That 2021 team was so bad I became apathetic towards basketball that season. We got robbed of at least a final four by covid in 2020 then in 2021 just a horrible team limited on talent and never seemed to get what it took. So thankful for the 2022 team. 2021 was a dark time.

Now all we need is for ISU to beat UT tomorrow night.

I think Saturday is the best shot at UT losing one of their next 3 games since it's in Waco.

Is Coach K making a guest appearance?

KJ was uncharacteristically sloppy tonight. Glad that Udeh is coming along, kinda wish he would’ve had a couple more minutes tonight.

Wow Kevin McFnCullar

Oh my

@jessejayhawk said in Dajuan Harris Cooks Lizards In Fort Worth Game Thread:

@cragarhawk I would rather see Dick do it to his mouth

Hey! There are young (at heart) in here.

KJ sucks

@kjayhawks said in Dajuan Harris Cooks Lizards In Fort Worth Game Thread:

Jinx worked

Jeebus I thought I was behind. Pissed me off before nothing happened. Lol

No ref. Don’t ruin this game

@DanR said in Dajuan Harris Cooks Lizards In Fort Worth Game Thread:

Duggin. Big loser when it mattered.

Looks to Duggan’s left. 🤔

Oh look Zelta’s blue damn whale

Still no Juan…nevermind

Why is Harris out? Breather?

💩

Again I’ve been fouled by Lampheads hair

Point God

TCU bench killing us again: 12 pts so far.

TCU bench gets a ton of minutes too - around 40%. KU bench not so productive

Udeh might chance that narrative soon

@cragarhawk Need more depth to go 100% the entire 40 minutes I’m afraid.

Kevin’s block reminded me of a block during a middle school game where a 6ft kid swatted a 4’6” midget shooting a three. Lol puberty is weird.

I feel like TCUs court is setting college basketball back a few decades. 80s bad

Fran doing his best flasher tryout - Oooh! Look at Dick!!!

@wissox said in Dajuan Harris Cooks Lizards In Fort Worth Game Thread:

Lambkin has committed about 5 fouls this game that have not been called.

His hair should draw a T

Udeh raises the ceiling of this team so much!

Wow Kevin made that!

Love that effort by Harris!

My feed sucks it keeps cutting out when KU is driving. Perfect for the commercials though. lol

I’d prefer to not see KJ take that shot again this year.

DaJuan needs to drive/shoot.

@cragarhawk said in Dajuan Harris Cooks Lizards In Fort Worth Game Thread:

2 on Wilson and Dick. Not good

Sounds like a pay per view movie

@DanR he’s extremely disruptive

Jayballer's place for Chief's complaints • Feb 20, 2023 02:42 PM

@bshark Bengals fans will be complaining for years. They are the worst since they beat the chiefs in the afcc a year ago. I enjoy arrowheadpride for Chiefs chat, but the Bengals fans constant presence during the last few weeks was tiresome. Eagles fans were much better, I’m tired of hearing fly eagle fly, but they were much more entertaining to interact with. Butt hurt Bengals fans will be on the Chiefs chat boards again next year, but I doubt Eagles fans would act the same way. They’re just classier, I suppose having won a SB fairy recently helps.

Jayballer's place for Chief's complaints • Feb 20, 2023 02:36 PM

@BShark said - Eagles fans have been MUCH better online than Bengals fans. At least in terms of what I’ve seen. Bengals fans will be crying until September.

Coach Ks secret lover is upset or in self denial. not sure which

@wissox Take it for want it’s worth. Internet rumor.

2022-23 stats-PER, Kenpom etc • Feb 20, 2023 02:20 PM

@BShark Doesn’t look too flattering to anyone. I don’t see anyone projected to snag even 3 wins

Other games • Feb 20, 2023 02:10 PM

@wissox Correct me if I’m wrong as I know next to nothing of the situation, but the story was his dad caused the anxiety. That’s the internet story at the time. And it’s just speculation without a thing to back it up - also I don’t give a rip so I never looked into it.

Sort of former jayhawk update • Feb 20, 2023 01:38 AM

Sherron is hands down, without a doubt, the absolute fastest, fat man to play point guard for KU.

Hope he’s not scared of the limelight. It’s a lot for some kids, others (Remmy I’m looking at you!) eat it up!!!
