3 Players Charged With Weapons Possession

Post by CameronBornAndBred » January 17th, 2010, 9:17 pm

The students – John Drew, Kyle Griswould and Brandon Putnam – were members of the Duke football team, according to spokesman Keith Lawrence. They have been dismissed from the team and will not be permitted to return to campus pending the resolution of the charges.

All three are freshmen. Drew and Griswould are from the same hometown in GA. Putnam is from a different town in GA.

Interesting that this comes so close on the heels of the Gilbert Arenas incident, which has been ALL over the news and the talk shows around here. Many people have been saying that this could negatively influence young people to do crap just like this, because it mush be okay if somebody like G.A. does it. A lot of kids really idolize him, especially with the upbringing he had. I don't know if the boys that were involved with this are from a similar background, but it wouldn't shock me to find out that Arenas' influence had something to do with it.

A guy called into one talk show the other day and said that a kid had brought a toy gun to his son's junior league basketball game, waving it around, later saying it was okay cause Agent Zero did it.

Not saying it's right or excusing their behavior, just saying it's an interesting thing to think about.

Griswold, a RB, played some last year. Don't think the others did. But Drew is listed as 6'2", 315. http://www.goduke.com/SportSelect.dbml? ... PSID=22667 I am pretty sure he was one of the redshirting OL we were counting on for next year. Putnam was a DL.

Stupid stupid stupid. This news must have made Cutcliffe think he had accepted the UT job...

I thought John Drew did play. He filled in for Vince Oghobaase especially when Vince was injured.

What a shame. Got to know two of the families during the football season. Nice folks who appreciated the opportunity for the kids to be at Duke and for them to be coached by Cutlciffe et al.

He did, all 12 games, started one.
Griswould was always on the injured list.

You're right. I forgot. Mea culpa! He was a budding star. Will be a big loss to the defense.
