'17 CT ATH CJ Holmes (Notre Dame Early Enrollee)

[NDRock]

Anyone remember any shoplifting charges in the recent past? I can’t think of any. Honestly, wouldn’t be surprised if CJ is gone for good.

 

[BobbyMac]

Sounds like it was Stepherson in possession.

Zip up and lawyer up.

Holmes was caught with a $75 North Face jacket...

Not the "Zip Up" I was talking about CJ!

Since when does North Face have $75 jackets? Sounds more like South Pole gear

Stepherson will be done. Holmes will be in the doghouse quite a while, and I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't make any real contributions next year, or even get a chance.

CJ might end up a WR if he survives this. How ironic would that be. lol

 

[Wingman Ray]

Wow what morons. Seriously, it isnt like athletes at a D1 school do not have money monthly. Give me a break.

 

[Irishize]

Is there any speed left to compete against that LSU secondary?

Why? It’s a misdemeanor charge. No worse - probably less worse - than last years infamous Friday Night Ride. Most of those guys were back on the field in a couple of weeks.
Assuming it’s a first offense, if CJ wants to stay, he should be OK.

I never heard of him doing anything?

 

[Sherm Sticky]

I never heard of him doing anything?

Not sure what you mean by that?

If it was only that shoplifting incident seems a little harsh...

Unless is it more that Holmes has decided not to return to ND and face his punishment?

 

[Crazy Balki]

Kelly put his foot down on Holmes. Shoplifting is utterly stupid.

Maybe he has an avenue back to the team. Still enrolled at school.

 

[Luckylucci]

Sounds like there is more to all of this but on the surface not sure how Holmes gets the boot for the same offense as KJ, who got 3 strikes. Hopefully CJ gets another shot.

Shoplifting goes against one of their commandments along with lying and treating women with respect. He broke one of those rules, and Kelly decided to give him the boot for it.

I wonder if Avery Davis might switch to running back.

Don't need 'em, Wimbush will be lighting up the sky next year with a full fledged aerial attack. Bombs away!

I have no problems with gun ownership, but its especially important with guns to obey all the rules, all the time.

I could see ND showing zero tolerance for that kind of thing, too. But rumors are rumors.

I thought BK has a zero tolerance policy with guns for the team.

No need to worry guys, simple misunderstanding. I found the gun on his twitter.

That would be totally unsurprising.

 

[IrishFanForever23]

Wouldn't he be kicked out of school as well if he had a gun in the dorms? Not sure how he would still be enrolled, but only kicked off the team.

I'm going to say this once and once only -- consider this everyone's first and final warning.

If you don't know something to be a fact, don't post it. And even if you do know it to be a fact, often times you still shouldn't post it.

This problem is not an IE problem, it's an everywhere problem. Driskell at Rivals literally fabricated a story yesterday about a "path to come back" for CJ... that doesn't exist. It has not been discussed with CJ or his family, at most they hinted that there might be a mechanism for him to rejoin the team down the line. So you've got professionals making up (or poorly sourcing) stories.

Now we've got rumors on this site running every which direction... saw one person strongly imply in the General Team Info thread that is is all a product of ND's drug testing policies... no, it isn't. The one meaningful player who got in trouble for something related to drug testing, and it ultimately WAS NOT what got him dismissed from the team. This kind of rumor mongering is not appropriate and has never been tolerated on this site.

Everyone gets a pass for everything posted up to this point, but moving forward if you share any rumor about "what they did" it better either be cited to a professional source OR you better be correct... if I see one more speculative/wrong rumor about what someone did to get the boot it's getting deleted and we're going to be displeased.

I get where you're coming from, but I don't think you can put all of the blame on Driskell. Hell, I don't even think it was Driskell that did the story over there at Rivals. I think it was McKinney. On another note, ISD also had something about there being a "chance" he could return in the future. Anyway, your point still stands, and I understand that, but wanted to point out it wasn't just Rivals/Driskell etc.

There's a big difference between saying there's a "chance" CJ could rejoin the team (true) and

He was given a path forward, if he follows that path he'll be back on the team.

Which is what Driskell said and is not true at all. BK did not give him a path to follow with the assurance that if he did he'd be back on the team.

So just end all the drama and post what you know!! Dammit, we deserve to know what's going on!!
