jblosser Posted June 20, 2010 Report Share Posted June 20, 2010 ********http://www.dispatch.com/live/content/local_news/stories/2010/06/19/OSU_recruit_Jamel_Turner_shot_.html?sid=101Ohio State recruit Jamel Turner has been shot for the second time in about two months and this time is seriously injured, according to reports. Two Youngstown television stations, WBKN and WYTV, are both reporting the same story - that Turner, 18, suffered multiple gunshot wounds in an incident early yesterday that also left a 17-year-old girl dead. Turner reportedly is in Saint Elizabeth Health Center. A spokesperson there said she could not give out any information. A Youngstown police spokesperson said the incident report would not be available until Monday. According to the TV reports, police responded to a call of a multiple shooting and found a girl dead in a house on Youngstown's Manchester Street, and Turner lying outside with multiple wounds. OSU coach Jim Tressel did not return a message yesterday, which continues his pattern of saying little or nothing about Turner. On April 17, Turner suffered minor injuries from two gunshot wounds when a vehicle pulled up and fired shots into a car in which Turner was a passenger on a Youngstown highway. Guns and drugs were later found in the car in which Turner was riding. No charges were filed in that incident. A few days after that shooting, Tressel said he could not comment on Turner. A defensive end originally from Youngstown Ursuline High School, Turner signed with Ohio State in February while he was enrolled at Fork Union (Va.) Military Academy. He left Fork Union in March, though, under unknown circumstances. When spring practice began in early April, Tressel said he assumed Turner was back in Youngstown trying to graduate from high school. Some speculated that Turner may have tried to take courses online, but there has been no confirmation that he graduated. In his junior year at Ursuline High School, he was dismissed from the basketball team for disciplinary reasons and declared ineligible to play sports. Tressel then helped steer Turner to Fork Union. Turner has not responded to multiple texts and phone messages over the past few months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost Posted June 20, 2010 Report Share Posted June 20, 2010 Sounds like a big steaming cup of trouble. Remove him from the recruit and scholarship list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Likwid Posted June 20, 2010 Report Share Posted June 20, 2010 lol, United States, where even a multiple offender with a violent history can get a college scholarship as long as he has sports talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drew95gt Posted June 20, 2010 Report Share Posted June 20, 2010 lol, United States, where even a multiple offender with a violent history can get a college scholarship as long as he has sports talent.Yeah no kidding, and there are kids in high school that have the smarts and drive to go to college but can't afford it through no fault of their own that end up working at McDonald's and pissing away their potential. Sad really, how these thugs and criminals can get a free ride to the college of their choice just because they can throw a ball or run fast. I love football as much as the next guy, but there needs to be higher standards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
