Transfer prospect for AU?

I know the guy has bad character and all, but we could take a chance on him. Would it be safe to say that he screwed up his chance at BYU?

BYU loses center due to premarital sex

By Larry Hartstein

Premarital sex might have cost BYU a chance at the national championship.

The No. 3-ranked Cougars suspended their starting center for the rest of the season after he admitted having sex with his girlfriend, a violation of the school's honor code, The Salt Lake Tribune is reporting.

Sophomore Brandon Davies apologized to the team this week and was "extremely remorseful, heartbroken," a source told the paper, adding that Davies has accepted his punishment. Without Davies, the Cougars lost at home 82-64 to unranked New Mexico Wednesday.

Brigham Young University, which is owned and operated by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, announced that Davies will be allowed to stay in school while his situation is reviewed by the Honor Code Office, the paper reports.

His teammate, Jimmer Fredette, the nation's leading scorer, said Davies "told us everything. He told us he was sorry and that he let us down. We just held our heads high and told him it was OK, that it is life, and you make mistakes, and you just got to play through it."

Davies, a 6-9, 235-pounder, was averaging 11.1 points and a team-high 6.2 rebounds.

BYU's honor code instructs students to live a virtuous and chaste life, be honest, attend church regularly and refrain from smoking and drinking alcohol, coffee or tea.

"Everybody who comes to BYU, every student, if they're an athlete or not an athlete, they make a commitment when they come," Cougars coach Dave Rose said. "A lot of people try to judge if this is right or wrong, but it's a commitment they make. It's not about right or wrong. It's about commitment."

Analysts say BYU (27-3) still could earn a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament if the Cougars recover to beat Wyoming Saturday and then win the Mountain West Conference Tournament.

Pre-marital sex??? Scum bag. No way he fits in at Auburn. Cancer in the club house. This would be a terrible move. Our program would go down the tubes and we'd barely win 3 conference games a year. If anyone thinks....

Wait...I mean, yeah, maybe we could use a 6'9" 235 pounder in the middle.

So I guess Red Bulls are ok, but tea and coffee is evil.

I read a comment from a former Morman who graduated from BYU - she said at one point she had a 3.95 GPA and was put on academic probation because she did not complete all of her visiting teaching hours for the semester (where they go door to door to all the members of their area and sit and pray in this special designated room for a few minutes. )

I'm thinking I could have one really fun semester there.

Yeah, but you would take down half the sororities with you...

I also read today that the big deal in all this was that he got his GF PREGNANT - not like he could hide that anymore. I somehow doubt he would have gotten kicked out for sex since no one could "prove" it. But a bun in the oven - kind of obvious.

Very sad. His life is pretty much ruined unless he gets picked up by another D-1 Heathen School.
