Update on Dior and John?
- Thread starter Duneaux Harm
- Start date
I am sure the Dior timeframe will be similar to Hugley and Horton so....winter. The difference is that he won't be reinstated unless maybe if the girl says she was lying or something like that and even then, I'm not sure because she appears to have had bruises. Dior is gone as far as I'm concerned. I didn't feel that way about Hugley and Horton. I said both would be back and nobody agreed with me
Most of us thought that they’d be reinstated; the concern was more that the courts’ schedule doesn’t care about basketball season.
The difference is Dior is in jail awaiting trial since he’s charged with a felony
I know nobody knows this but I’m very curious as to what Dior’s doing right now. Is he in Pittsburgh? Doing anything school related?
or more likely is he in New York or Miami or somewhere like that, with Pitt already in the rearview mirror?
No, he is not in jail. His bond was paid and he is out.
Per Jon Rothstein, Big John and Will Jeffress are expected back by the opener. That would obviously be great news.
Just like last 2 years, SMFN will be televising it live with wraparound coverage hosted by guest analysts Fred Primus, Chris Seabrooks, and Yuri Demetris. This year they will be live outside the courthouse to give more of a "College Gameday" effect.
That was debunked almost immediately. But really does it matter? SMF is rarely right, but he’s probably right to wash his hands of Dior and consider him gone. My question is whether he’s going to class. I’d have to think no as he had no interest in college anyway. And I do wonder if he’s still in Oakland. Considering Dior wasn’t even on campus long enough to unpack his suitcase, he should probably write a book entitled “how to ruin a life in 5 minutes”.
He was here 1 week, not 5 minutes.
I don't see how anyone thinks this guy plays at Pitt again. This isnt a joyride or a scuffle with an overagressive cop.
I don’t think anyone does but I do wonder who wants him to play. There are things in life more important that basketball
I don't want him anywhere near the Pitt campus, let alone in a Pitt uniform playing basketball and representing my university. If he ever does, I'm not watching.
I wonder if you can use NIL for bail?
Could be a great NIL opportunity, just like Bad News Bears - Chico's Bail Bonds?
Is the girl a Pitt student? If so, the school should treat it like any other alleged student on student violence - and probably expell him. If not, I say play so long as he is free. If found guilty, I trust the state to punish him as they would anyone else.
Yuri Demetris ? I lived in Bruce Hall at the time and would always see him around when I was outside the lobby there by the steps smoking. He was such a jackass.
I'm curious about one aspect of these player cases. The legal system is based on the presumption of innocence. The state has to prove it's case and if they do the person is convicted and sentenced. Academia seems to embrace the notion of guilty until proven innocent. An accusation and charges are sufficient to have someone suspended from the team. I find this interesting.

Yes, colleges use a lower legal standard to administer discipline to students. Men's rights and right-wing groups have fought this as it often leads to male students getting kicked out of school due to drunken one night stands where the female was too drunk to give consent
Which, of course, is rape.
If I’m arrested for punching my co-worker, and the charges are eventually dismissed for one reason or another, I still very well could get fired from my job. That’s a lower standard of discipline. It’s also totally reasonable.
Yea I know, I'm not saying I disagree with it. As I said, right wing groups were pressuring the Department of Education to rectify this perceived unfairness to men. Betsy DeVos was trying to put in a policy which would have made it a stricter legal standard for those drunken one night stands but I'm not sure if that ever went through. Any way to help young, privileged white males, who they felt were being unjustly persecuted for banging drunk women.
