Devin Davis injured/Emmitt Holt cited for DUI

[LazOffTheBench 3,638]

Hoping and praying that we will hear good news about Devin's condition soon. Also praying for his family who must be going through an absolutely horrific time.

Amen Laz----something like this is every parent's worst nightmare.

[Walking Boot of Doom 18,170]

Doc Ferrell has been tweeting positive news about DD. Last I saw he was improved. I hope the team is together and gets a chance to see him soon.

[Bowhunter 2,645]

Prayers for DD and EH. What a mess we are.

[mdn82 25,456]

Prayers go out to both young men. Being a parent of 2 children, I cannot imagine the agony going through the minds of both sets of parents.

This. I have been out of it today with nieces birthday party. I have kids who have been caught up in situations due to the stupidity of their sister. These kids are brothers and nobody feels worse than Holt. Up here in Northern Indiana the day before school began the principal of a high school almost killed the AD by them horsing around and the principal hit the AD with a car in the school parking lot. People do stupid things all of the time at different ages. Personally I will let it play out while praying for both.

Thanks for not using a thread for support of our players for your views. Let's focus.

I feel for them both. It's awful to be in either position, I hope Devin has a swift recovery. I know the longer he is in pain from this, the worse the both of them, and the entire team is going to suffer. It's not easy to be in situations where you cause people you really care about to be hurt.

[rebelhoosier848891 9,588]

Just wait for the facts---there's plenty of time to play the blame game.

 

Everyone is different---but I subscribe to the "old school" line of thought-----unless they provided the alcohol or were in the car with them or had some kind of knowledge about what was going on---you don't blame their mom or their dad or what phase the moon is in or even their Coach.  These are young men who know right from wrong and they alone are responsible for their actions.  No Coach or mom or dad can be with a college kid 24/7 to prevent all incidents.  After we know the facts---then the mom, dad, Coach, and the Justice system will have to deal with those facts. A Coach is responsible for his reaction to those facts and for the discipline/punishment he hands out and can be criticized about that if it is viewed as too lax or too stern. 

 

Until then---wait for the facts and pray for the kids involved.  Right now-- I bet DD's family could care less about the blame game---I bet their focus is on their son's health and recovery.  And you know what---that's exactly where our focus should be too!

 

Prayers to DD and his family and to Holt and his family.

I think Vanilla Priller/Middle School Bob is gonna get some burn. He's got too much size and shooting ability not to under these extenuating circumstances.

you may be right. Hopefully he can be our Rocky Balboa!

Here's my issue, when do you hear of multiple alcohol related incidents with players at; UK,MSU, or Duke? Sure, class might not be attended, but they're staying out of trouble with the law. If Knight were here, would players who got OWI's and in law trouble not be in BIG trouble with the team (assuming they're still on it) ?? Cream doesn't enforce rules, yogi and hammer should have been made examples of, suspensions. Crean is spineless.

You mean how MSU players were caught stealing and alleged rapes. Or how about Dukes own poster boy Reddick was charged with DWI. Or how about UKs assistant coach Rod Strickland and their athletic trainer got caught. This happens everywhere. Let's not kid ourselves. Teenagers always drank and will continue to drink underage.

[HoosierReb01 7,511]

Read the OP, the purpose of this thread is plainly stated. You want to gripe about CTC, start another one (preferably not) or restart one of the old ones (you probably won't add anything that wasn't already said). Can't live with that, timeouts are available.

[CampHoosier 3,697]

Students reporting seeing a man (Devin) on the side of 17th street laying in dirt. Blood coming from his head. The fact that Crean said "Next 48 hours are critical" worries me a lot. Head injuries can be as mild as headaches for a week or something more permanent. I don't blame Devin or Emmitt. Seems like one of those things that had to have everything go wrong all at once. I really hope all of you students who read this board will take care of your friends tonight. It doesn't matter what the situation is, make sure you get everyone home and make sure they are okay. 

[BlueDevil 8,643]

No one feels worse than Holt and I hope some of the guys have reached out to him. As far as DD I hope he makes a strong and fast recovery. Everyone needs to get behind him. This may be the event that finally gets to them. It takes years for a forest to grow but it can be burnt down in one day.

[Geometry Hoosier 1,148]

From personal experience I can guarantee you that both players are hurting and scared right now, albeit different ways, but both are. We need not cast judgement on either one and pray for their well being.

[bronkonagurski 894]

Scary.  Best wishes to all involved. 

[schoosier 3,444]

I was mad at disappointed at the situation until I read your post. Now I just can't believe there is someone who roots for the same team as me that can take a bad situation and make it about their own arguments. You are an *******. I don't care if I get banned or warned. There's a time and place and it isn't now. So glad Devin's injury supports your anti-Crean narrative. How convenient.

I feel bad for Devin and his family and hope he has a fast recovery. Believe it that we root for the same team. Your blatant violation of forum rules should get you your wish, but discipline here just like our team mostly goes unpunished as I have been called worse by other regulars. To think these infractions aren't related to the program and its head coach is certainly something you and those other posters never want to discuss. Just like Creans post game pressors.

[mdn82 25,456]

Don't push us right now. We have had discussions behind the scenes and understand it is a lightning rod topic, but don't poke us cause you are pissed at the situation.

[8bucks 6,116]

Crean needs some momentum the other way.

The situation between RMK and that student that led to his firing was really not a fire able offense on its own. But when added to growing angst from the admin, some alumni and the president it became the final straw.

Even without trying to judge things because we do not have enough information this has obviously been a day where negative momentum is building.

Not sure where the positive momentum will come from but it seems this situation has to have some sort of turn that will help. If not, wins alone may not be enough right now.
