Video: Kentucky Recruit Tackles Spring Break Security Guard

For what it's worth, it looked to me like he got into the stance, but was pushed into the security guard.

The kid is a _____ and if he is doing this kind of crap already, Joker should definitely pull the scholarship.

yes someone could have got hurt.. but NO ONE DID. everyone is making a big deal out of nothing.

In no way was he pushed into the security guard

I cant even see the video. Its completely dark and filmed from looks to be a hotel balcony.

Further proof that drunk high school/college kids and water are never a good combination. Not sure what the big deal is though. He did a stupid thing, but he tackled him in water. No one was hurt. I say punish him in practice.

Agreed. After the Hartline situation though, I don't really see how they don't yank his scholarship. Maybe just redshirt him?

Ummm...who cares? You're Kentucky for God's sake.

Yep he is destined for UC in the Big East and now has a chance at a BCS bowl. This is the best decision of the young mans life.

He goes to St. X what did they expect? haha

Those security guards are dicks. I wish it would have been a defensive tackle that did it.

Looks like he'll be starting for UGA. Perfect for Mark Richts squad of goons in Athens.

As for the comment he didn't hurt anyone; That's a lame excuse. Do we have to go back to basic pool safety. A slip or fall running in a wet pool area could have seriously injured himself or the guard. The guard could have hit his head on the concrete rendered unconsciencious or worse. I say pull his scholarship and he if wants to be a cat he can walk on and earn it. Scholarships are a valuable limited resource for schools and they should given out as such. Why reward someone who can jeopardize your program in the future? If he doesnt respect authority here, what makes you think he will respect the 1000s of NCAA student athelete rules. How long before he's selling jerseys, taking money or commits more serious criminal acts while enrolled. Then it all points back to this incident where no action was taken and athletes get the sense of invincibility and unaccountability.

Excuse me but It seems to me that he was. If you watch his lovely friend behind him, his friend pushes him.
