SLU_Nick Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 I am by no means an MY apologist, but from reading the article, it looks like MY didnt even steal it. He just used it after it was stolen. Here is hoping that he is back in his dorm room already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taj79 Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Yarbrough admitted knowing it was stolen. Not sure I understand your rationale Nick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLU_Nick Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Yea, I guess. I am just glad that this matter is being allowed to be handled internally. If I am trying to fit in with the new players on my new college team and one of them comes up to me bragging that he stole a cell phone and handed it to me...It is asking a lot for MY to turn around and scold his new teammate before reporting him to the authorities. Sure, there are better ways that he could have handled this, but this incident doesnt really indicate that he is headed for a future as a criminal drain on society. That is all I am saying.

Taj79 Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Okay, thanks for the explanation. Bottom line is he should have never accepted stolen property. I won't say he's headed for a life of crime based on this but poor judgment continues to be a part of the track record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slu72 Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 I figured it would be for something serious like reckless driving to the hoop while impersonating a 5 star hoopster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please re-read the article. While limited and few details given, the article does state, first, that MY and another player have both been charged by the authorities with theft. Second, receipt of stolen properties is a crime and apparently MY admitted to knowing the phone was stolen. Third, the phone not only appears to have been in the possession of MY but also was recently activated so it appears that MY tried to actually use the stolen phone as his own as opposed to simply not reporting his teammate. And, most likley, the phone belongs to another student at ISU. In short, it sure appears to me that both players should be dismissed from the school.

I don't recall any but have tried my best to block out the past two years so maybe I forgot something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cgeldmacher Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Should I drive into the lane where four defenders are waiting for me and try to score even though there is very little chance of success? Answer: Yes Should I take this stolen phone and activate it knowing that phones can be tracked and using it has very little chance of success? Answer: Yes Sounds like his issues with poor judgment extend to off the court as well. I hope he is able to find success in life someday off the court/out of the courts.

Taj79 Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 kshoe: I think so. I don't feel at liberty to say, that would just be passing on second hand and third hand knowledge and I'm trying to turn a new leaf.. cgeldmacher points out some well-known court flaws. I'll just leave it at that. Poor judgment is not restricted solely to on- or off-court behavior. The great philosopher Confucious said "stupid is as stupid does." Wait ---- maybe that was Forrest Gump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
