And btw, it should be pretty damn clear by now that Mark Richt has lost control of Nick Saban and the Alabama program. Not sure what Mark Richt controls anymore. Tony?

SHOCKER: AUBURN PURSUING ANOTHER PLAYER WITH A CRIMINAL PASTITKAuburn University’s football program is at it again. The Tiggers are once again actively pursuing a criminal for their football team. Thug U. may soon be the new home for Jonathan Taylor, the former Georgia defensive lineman kicked out of the Bulldog program after being arrested and charged with aggravated assault/family violence. Taylor is in junior college now, and while second chances aren’t anything new in college football, the number of castoffs (if not criminals) finding sanctuary at Auburn is downright humorous. We all remember Cam Newton who was suspected of stealing a laptop at the University of Florida, only to flee to junior college and emerge wearing orange and blue. Of course, current Auburn QB Nick Marshall did the same, suspected of stealing from teammates while at Georgia. After a brief stint in JUCO, ta-dah! Tiggers, you gotcha a QB. One of the latest castoffs was former Georgia defensive back Tray Matthews, charged last spring with “theft by deception.” Matthews accepted an offer to play for Gussy Malzahn, and now wears orange and blue. The bottom line is, Auburn will go after any criminal they think will help their second tier, hayseed program. And if you could measure the prayers sent up when Jameis Winston was under legal fire…any of the times…you could bet most of them came from our orange and blue clad little brothers. They know the drill. There’s nothing illegal about the serial practice of going after criminals. It’s just comical how often Auburn does it. And even more comical how delusional their cult, err, fan base is about the wholesomeness of that program. Auburn has no shame. And come on…it’s just funny.

No Tony. Tim is pointing out that Capstone put out a blistering attack on Auburn for considering signing Jonathan Taylor last September. It was full of vitriol about how AU could such a player. Then later of course it wound up being Bama that actually did sign him to a scholarship. It would be interesting to see if Capstone had any comment back in February when it happened.

So, Coach Saban didn't want to talk to those that knew Taylor and his situation the best when vetting the type of person he was? Wow, Coach Saban. Why would you not want to talk to folks like, let's say, hmmmm...his Head Coach? You have a problem with Mark RIcht, Coach? You have issues with UGA? Word on the street is when recruiting the same player, Alabama doesn't have nice things to say about UGA, and is quite negative. I digress. That aside, why would Alabama and Coach Saban not talk to particular folks such as the DA's and Head Coach about a player who is facing DV charges and was involved in a check cashing scheme? Makes one wonder a little more about ol' Ticky Nicky. Oh, the article. My bad! April 1, 2015 UAPD reviewed photos of Taylor's alleged assault in 2014D.C. Reeves TideSports.com Managing Editor The University of Alabama Police Department obtained and reviewed photographs that detailed Jonathan Taylor's 2014 alleged aggravated assault in Athens, Ga., before Taylor enrolled at UA in January. Taylor was kicked off the University of Georgia football team after the July 22 domestic violence incident, his second arrest in a span of five months. He spent one football season at Copiah-Lincoln Community College in Mississippi before enrolling at UA. Taylor was dismissed from the UA football team by coach Nick Saban on Sunday afternoon after being arrested on two charges of third-degree domestic violence Saturday evening. On Wednesday, authorities said they would reconsider the charges against Taylor after his accuser recanted. According to emails obtained via a public records request, in the weeks leading up to Taylor's arrival at UA, Lt. Eric Dellinger, a UGA Police Department spokesman, sent an internal email on Dec. 18 regarding a phone call he received from UAPD Assistant Police Chief Lee Harris. Dellinger wrote that Harris "indicated that Mr. Taylor was possibly about to be a student with them and wanted to speak with someone who was familiar with his history here at UGA." Later that day, Lt. Jeff Hammock of UGAPD's Criminal Investigations Division emailed Harris photographs from the July 22 domestic violence incident involving Taylor. The incident report from July, which was emailed to UAPD soon after the photographs, cited the victim having "visible scratches and red marks to her neck and bruises on her arm and leg." The report stated that photographs were taken of the victim's injuries once police arrived on scene. It is not clear how many photos UAPD received from Hammock. The photographs were redacted from the public records obtained by The Tuscaloosa News because they are part of a pending investigation. In the same email, Hammock notified Harris that an active bench warrant was out for Taylor as of Dec. 9 in the domestic violence case. Harris replied asking whether he should notify Taylor of the warrant. According to Athens-Clarke County records, the bench warrant was dismissed on Dec. 29. While the UGA Police Department was contacted about Taylor's arrests, Georgia Western Judicial Circuit District Attorney Ken Mauldin told The Tuscaloosa News that neither he nor assistant district attorney Rebecca Fogal, the two in charge of Taylor's domestic violence case, were contacted by anyone at UA regarding either of Taylor's pending cases. Taylor was also arrested on theft charges in March of 2014 while he was at Georgia.
The Macon Telegraph reported earlier this week that UGA head football coach Mark Richt was not contacted by anyone at UA.
Alabama head coach Nick Saban declined to discuss specifics when asked Monday about the vetting process for Taylor."I'm not really going to answer all those questions," Saban said. "I spoke to everybody that had an opportunity to give us some idea of what kind of young man that Jonathan Taylor was. And is. And you know, I still think he's a good person, I think he has a problem and a circumstance that is not acceptable. And that is his problem. And he has been certainly dealt with relative to this problem." Saban said that Taylor underwent psychological profiling and counseling and "never missed a session" while on campus. Taylor also had a "set program" that included domestic violence counseling. Taylor has been charged with felony aggravated assault, misdemeanor battery and simple battery in the Georgia case. He has an arraignment scheduled Tuesday at 8 a.m. Central Time in Athens. - See more at: alabama.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1753056#sthash.eNIdY8oO.dpuf

The 24-year old female accuser involved in the incident that led to former Alabama defensive tackle Jonathan Taylor being arrested on domestic violence charges Saturday night has since told police that the bruises officers saw on her neck that night were self-inflicted, according to court documents.
Gina Marie Nawab contacted police Monday to recant her accusations, informing officers that Taylor did not harm her during the incident after originally telling police that the 6-foot-4, 335-pound Taylor caused injuries to her neck while also damaging her property during the confrontation.
Nawab maintained she had lied during an interview with police Tuesday and was arrested and charged with false reporting to law enforcement.
Nawab told police she "used her hands to cause the bruises around her neck," according to court documents.
Nawab also said the damage officers saw to a door in her residence was done prior to Saturday night.
Her explanation to officers was that she was seeking revenge on Taylor, who she said she suspected was cheating on her again after cheating on her in December, according to court documents.
Taylor, who was dismissed from Georgia's team following a domestic violence incident last year, was dismissed by Alabama Sunday shortly after being released from jail.
Taylor is no longer a student at Alabama and is not eligible for re-admission, a university spokesperson said Thursday.
A spokesman for Tuscaloosa County Homicide told AL.com Wednesday that the charges against Taylor will likely be reviewed within the next month.

So she has been arrested for filing a false statement but it will take a month to review his charges? Is he still going to court to be arraigned?

With DV cases, police typically delay dropping charges if the victim recants with the hope that the victim will change their statement once more and wish to press charges. It's bullshit, but that's what they tend to do.

He still has his trial for DV charges in the State of Georgia to face.

The only perspective that particular blog article seems to shed light upon is the fact that maybe in this incident, just maybe, the media and sports fans just might have reacted too quickly. It says nothing of his case pending in Athens, nothing to the fact he could be guilty as sin on that charge, in turn arrested, and very well could have been on the team at Alabama if this latest scenario never saw the light of day. That is a real possibility, or possibly some other sentence for his charges that are yet to be determined if found guilty. How would it look for a current Alabama player to be in jail in Georgia on charges that happened before the University of Alabama accepted him to the school and welcomed him to play football for the Alabama Crimson Tide?
All I am saying is this take seems to simply recount the reality of the moment and say folks jumped too quickly. Well, maybe Alabama jumped in too quickly, as well. Just a take on a take and one possible scenario. Maybe Taylor is innocent all the way around, and now is without a place to play. Pretty sad if that is the reality. Wonder what the truth really is? Did he ever hit any of his girlfriends, or is it all just vindictive charges and his choice in women is he likes bat shit crazy?

Unfortunately in this day and age, guilt is pronounced right off the bat. We see it in journalism and from special interest groups all the time now. And facts be damned.
I think Tim's point is valid. The mere fact that he is pending possible trial in Georgia probably did not aid his cause in Alabama. No clue if the charges were valid or not...but as a minimum, he needs to think about how he is under a microscope and not let yourself get caught in such situations.
