Cdubyah Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 Discuss...COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Ohio State University says former football star Maurice Clarett has been granted re-entry to pursue his degree after he spent more than three years in prison.Ohio State spokesman Jim Lynch says in a statement that Clarett started classes on Monday after he was readmitted by the College of Education and Human Ecology, where he was originally enrolled.Clarett says in a statement that it is a "surreal feeling to be back at Ohio State" and that he doesn't want to be a "distraction or nuisance" to the football team or other students.Clarett led the Buckeyes to the 2002 national championship in his only college season. He pleaded guilty in 2006 to aggravated robbery and carrying a concealed weapon, and served 3½ years in a Toledo prison, where he took college-credit courses.http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=5412090 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FZRMatt Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 thank god he isnt eligible to even attempt to covince the Vest to let him backYou do know that is why he is back at OSU don't you? He is technically still a freshman and is hoping for a walk on. He is taking summer classes after all. He has been out of prison for several months now.

He signed a contract with Denver after being drafted by them but due to all his issues and shit they cut him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember him giving up his NCAA eligibility, but didn't recall him actually signing. However, I don't follow many sports either, and I certainly don't watch the draft.

that dude Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 Once you enter the draft your done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cdubyah Posted July 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 Did he actually enter the draft though? IIRC, he was trying to get into the draft being only a sophmore. Which they put up some stink about. I was thinking that the vest got him a tryout with Denver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
