I'm probably not an expert on Cal's recruiting habits, but I am going to believe he probably would've taken the #1 recruit in the country.

Dude, Cal gets basically whomever he wants in any particular class. And hence, he doesn't have to take flyers on players like Bill Preston, Check Diallo or Carlton Bragg.

100% spot on! I'm gonna give him the benefit of the doubt, until proven otherwise! An accusation is just that...an accusation! If found guilty of hitting her and pushing her down the flight of stairs, then kick him off the team! If what happened is self defense (like this poster explained), I don't think he deserves any punishment! SOME women feel that they can get away with anything, so that's why I'm willing to see how this plays out before condemning the kid!
I think if the story was different the eye witnesse's at the scene would have taken his side. Anyway unless she had a gun or a knife he should have just walked away, he did not so he is a POS.

I'm surprised news outlets are not doing a bit more reporting. several of us old folk have kids who go there and were there when this went down and they're talking nonstop... What the kids say: They were at a party at the DU frat, the girl's a sophomore in the Theta house and was there with several friends. There were dozens of people all around them and many are reporting that Saleeha (the girl) was pushing and hitting on Carlton and he was simply trying to get her off him. They say there was no fall down stairs and no injuries to her. They also say she has called police more than once on other boys that she has gotten into arguments with. So, who knows the truth. Seems like bad behavior all the way around, including the drunken chaos of a frat party. But there certainly were lots of witnesses. Hoping facts can be established fast.

And UL tried to say that Katina Powell was lying and making everything up. Remember what they had many players and students say on behalf of UL?

by the way .........earlier when I said the boosters were p*ssed because they now have to pay 8 people off........... I wasnt effing lying.

All charges against Bragg dropped, and charges being levied on accuser. Security cam caught it all on tape and proved she completely lied. Saved our boosters some money eh STL?

Link?

Nevermind I read the story..... By the way he still pushed her .......... Still embarrassing. WALK AWAY DUMB ***..... a couple of slaps isnt threatening bodily harm.... not at that level of needing to defend yourself.

If a woman is slapping you....... walk away. Thats not an excuse for pushing a woman.

Or avoid shady-*** women. I guess this chick has called the cops on a handful of guys and has quite the reputation. Whats sad is without the video evidence, Braggs career could have been in danger. She should get kicked out based on false accusations and being a terrible person.

The reason the charges were dropped was because of the technicality that him shoving her can become self defense with her slapping him...... Not because she lied.......but thats just splitting hairs.

also...... this guarantees him he'll play again this year and thats good for him. Should still probably sit out another game or two just to teach him to stay away from those situations and dont put your hands on a woman unless she's really trying to kill you. But I wouldnt complain if he plays the next game either.

Yeah, without seeing the video its hard to tell. I generally agree with not putting your hands on women and just walk away. But if its just a push to get hierarchy *** off I don't have a problem with it. She did lie though---she claimed he first punched her, then threw her down the stairs----which sounds like a lifetime movie.

I wouldn't worry.. if you continue to put yourself around the wrong people (hoes, boosters, Bill Self, Kansas fans..) the results will show eventually.

Domestic disturbance today... domestic violence a month from now. Not a question of "if" but "when"..

Nobody got shoved up stairs and to my knowledge neither are charged with being drunk or high. Proud...nah Bragg is just lucky there was video or he would be screwed. Now he will have to deal with Self's punishment.

“After being struck by female, the male forcefully shoves her away from him causing the female to fall backwards up the ascending stairs behind her,” according to the prosecutor’s office release.

The defense motion said Soofi was under the influence of alcohol. Bragg was suspected of alcohol and drug use when he was taken into custody, according to a Lawrence police report.

Well Ill be damned----got pushed up the stairs! Didn't see that part. I saw initially Bragg was suspected of being under the influence----but not since. Not sure how you suspect someone being undertake influence of drugs unless its like meth or something. Nothing wrong with a college kid being drunk on stop day.

yeah I agree. as long as it was weed or just somewhat drunk.......... I dont care. Thats basically the average weekend for a college kid.

and thats why if you are going to Date a crazy *** woman....... dont cheat on her...... break up with her...... but never ever cheat on a crazy *** woman unless you are just standing around thinking this would be a great day to get beat and have the police called over.

How long will Bragg be out for? Will he have to sit till this is resolved or will self let him continue to play till this goes to court? I know Willis had his issue but he wasn't driving and was punished for it. Just curious if you think he will play again this yr and if so when? He is no where near NBA ready so that's not an option. He's an 8 yr player like perry Ellis.

Why would we spin anything? Dude shoved a girl. Think we can all agree that's uncalled for, no matter how crazy she is.

I would hope KU wouldn't try to spin it either.

So because he was SUSPECTED of being drunk or high you ASSume he was - Is that how you roll?

He wasn't even charged with the drug or alcohol offenses.

I'm guessing like many on this board you had judged him to be guilty of misdemeanor battery because he was arrested and charged - right?

And now that video evidence shows the nutjob chick was the one who caused all the problems (allegedly) what say you?

You are a sick individual for condoning the harm of a woman.......... His life wasnt threatened ...he could of walked away. But you are one sick piece of trash defending that.

Im not on her side either..... she's a sick person also.. she had no right laying hands on him either.... but thats just meaning both were severely wrong.

Why am I not suprised. Brady Morningstar got a 9 game suspension for a dui. Albeit a misdemeanor battery charge he should atleast have to sit out a few games. The guy makes skal look like shaq. He's completely soft and doesn't want to play the 4/5 because that would require him to put effort into rebounding and playing tough down low. On the national board Kansas fans say he sucks and he's a ***** and should get kicked off the team. I'll give self credit he can really take 5 star players and turn them into 4 yr players with his excellent ability to underdevelop players so they are stuck there 4 years

None of this really matters anyways..

1. Bragg will play against Kentucky.
2. Kansas, even with Bragg, is not good enough to be a top4 team come March.. Kansas Won't beat Kentucky/Duke/UNC/UCLA come tournament time. They snuck one out against Duke when they were without their 3 top recruits.. they do have a chance to beat Kentucky because of our youth..

but they aren't winning the title. The top teams are too talented this year.

Chalk Bragg up as another guy I'm glad we didn't get. If he played for us like he does for Kansas the fans would jump all over him for being lazy and having a slow walk

It really doesn't matter what we say, this is our board and we certainly don't have to answer to fans of inferior teams..Get on our level and we can talk. 22-7 8>3

Obviously you would never admit your judgement and condemnation of him was premature

So you double down accusing him of being altered and still doing wrong by pushing the crazy chick away from him.

Is it possible / conceivable that Braggs side of the story is the true one and she wouldn't stop slapping/hitting him so he pushed her off of him and because she was altered she fell down?

Oh and not that it matters to you but she is not claiming ANY injury as a result.

Well I think you are one sick piece of trash for condemning a high profile athlete for just trying to push away from a crazy chick who is assulting him without cause.

Not that it matters but now she is being charged as a result and his charges have been dropped so apparently the legal system thinks she is in the wrong, and not him.

See how easy it is to attack someone's character on a message board. Requires no thought at all.

Wow, does that make you actually feel like you've won an argument?

Baseless accusations against someone you've never met?

Far be it from me to keep that message board victory from you that you so desperately need.
