I wonder if his punishment will be more sever than their running back who was suspended 11 days during the spring (not even during the spring work outs) for selling a felony amount of weed.
Within 2 hours of him pleading guilty to selling a felony amount of weed (taking a deferred judgement) he was reinstated to the team with no further punishment to be handed out.
I have no idea what any of the facts are in this case, so I'm just curious to see what they are, and what the result is.
From what I have seen online, it seemed to be a horribly-kept secret that this year would be Hawkins' last at IlSt for one reason or another. Again, something I have no facts on in the current, though his academic history lends itself to some not-too-crazy theories. I've always found this situation interesting, as WSU was at one time involved with the player, and I never understood what hoops were jumped through (not that they weren't legal, I just literally don't know what actually happened) and by whom so that he could play D1 ball.
