@BarrettSallee: See ya. RT @AaronSuttles: Jonathan Taylor arrested for domestic violence and criminal mischief. LINK
-----------
ETA: for those wondering who he is.....
When Alabama this week signed Jonathan Taylor, a player dismissed from Georgia last summer and still facing a felony charge, Alabama athletic director Bill Battle said the Crimson Tide "thoroughly investigated numerous sources" concerning Taylor's situation.
Those sources apparently did not include Georgia head coach Mark Richt.
Asked this week whether Georgia coaches had talked with Alabama about Taylor, Richt told the Macon Telegraph, "I didn't get contacted." He did not elaborate.
Taylor was kicked off Georgia's team in late July after being arrested on a charge of felony aggravated assault and family violence. He was also one of four Georgia players arrested in March -- James DeLoach, Uriah LeMay and Tray Matthews were the others -- on charges of deception for double-cashing meal reimbursement checks.
The felony case is in the pre-arraignment stage in Clarke County (Ga.) Superior Court. Taylor received pre-trial intervention on the March charge, but violated its terms with the July arrest, according to the Athens Banner-Herald.
Taylor, a 6-foot-4, 340-pound nose guard, spent the 2014 season at Copiah-Lincoln (Miss.) Community College. He was one of eight signees to enroll for the spring semester at Alabama this week.

He will find himself on second team if not careful.

I'm glad someone at least knows how to make a thread

Not surprised. Can't believe they took this guy to begin with.

Wow. Not surprised though

I was pissed when we let him in.

SABAN LOSING THE TEAM!! Figured I'd give myself 10 seconds to act like an Alabama fan.

Love the BAMA replies... we didn't want him anyway. GTFO!

Why "former UGA player" instead of "Alabama commit"? You could include both if you wanted.

Hopefully his victim will come out against the university for allowing this thug in. Somebody at UA needs to answer for this.

Thank goodness for Mark Richt and his discipline policy. Keeping the SEC West big three loaded with talented players since 2001

Saban did his diligence with the background check. I mean aside from talking with UGA coaches and other people like that. But Taylor swore he was a changed man.

Don't bring us into this shite. Our house is clean.

Well... I guess the reason why we never see "Former Auburn player..." as the beginning of a headline is because there is no lower place to fall.

Nick Saban. What an idiot

WTF, why should the title of this thread be "Former UGA player" when Taylor is a current member of the Alabama team?
I think Auburn should give Taylor a third chance.
