Arterio Morris
-
@RockkChalkk your edit is quite inflammatory, this obviously wouldn’t be the case with any other player. Morris has a history of domestic violance and only got a plea deal because the victim wasn’t going to testify. That case has plenty of evidence that he shows little respect from women and it is unlikely he would have gotten off if she did. Could he have changed? Yes, but in my eyes he needs to prove that and a new accusation popping up is not how you do that.
I would maybe be comfortable with him staying if there is some sort of combination of no evidence of any wrong doing, victim has a history of false accusations/proof she is looking for a payout, and his behavior that night by witnesses is impeccable. But knowing the case was already forwarded to prosecutors makes me think the likelyhood of all that minimal.

@Kcmatt7 If it was up to Bill this never gets out.

So in your opinion Bill would try to cover up a rape on campus to keep a player on a team? That is what you are actually saying??
-
Hmmm. Suddenly find myself considering site names that are less KU basketball specific…
-
@Woodrow I believe he wishes it never happened, he does have a wife, a daughter and gdaughters.
-
I wonder how long it will be before we start to get the real details of this incident…

That’s not what he was implying
-
Honestly I’m still not fully sure anything truly terrible happened. Still a chance he plays for KU later in the season IMO. I was just saying Self would have preferred to handle this internally.
-
I’m fine with how it’s being handled so far. Self gave a very talented player a second chance. Now that an accusation has been made, that kid is being kept away from the program while the accusation is being investigated which is the correct call. If the investigation shows that there’s a reasonable chance something bad happened that night, then you send Morris on his way. If the investigation shows that it’s very likely nothing bad happened, then you allow him to stay on the condition that of new evidence comes up, then you reserve the right to revisit Morris’s status in the program.
-
Does anyone know if Morris is living in McCarthy Hall?
-
If the Title IX folks are the ones ultimately deciding this… woof. Talk about a totally opaque and garbage process.

Been forwarded to Douglas County DA. Which…is a bit of a mess right now.
-
@BShark one does not preclude the other
-
@BShark - my question is related to where he’s living after the suspension. Since he can’t participate in team activities, I would think he’s living elsewhere.
-

Correct. Seems to be running simultaneously. Don’t think DA has made a decision yet last I knew.

He’s suspended, not kicked off the team. That would be rough, get in the doghouse and Bill makes your run some stair laps before he evicts your sorry butt.
-
Just another in the multitude of LFK’s homeless population smh
-
Does anyone know, seeing as we just lost another scholarship player, if we are looking to add anyone else to the roster for depth?
-
Vern saying it’s unlikely he plays for KU but he hedged of course based on the unknowns of what the DA will do…
How we ended up in this situation will forever baffle me.
-
It’s extremely bad. 0% to play at KU.
-
Details coming out soon?
-
-
This make me sick, especially for the victim. Sad that he just threw away his potential for a nice future. Having Wayne in our program should be a factor with these kids. At least recognize the need for xtra help. I’m of course thinking this went south. Sounds like we did help him get out of trouble, just couldn’t keep him there.
-
Well looks like he wrote his own future - extremely sad had a chance to do something with his life. Talented , had a choice - -High road OR low road - - unfortunately he took the low road.

Was annoyed at the time but at this point we honestly deserve it. Hope Bill learns something from it.
-
Unless by some miracle things change I’m chalking this up as a “should have known” situation. Never a dull moment it seems
-
Still waiting for some facts!
-
News dump coming on Friday?
-
You never know when a person can change someone’s life for the better. We have a lot of good mentors on staff, coach Q is a good one too.
-
SMH
-
@BShark kick him out….he’s done the suspension is pointless
-
Any news released? You’d be a creep and a disgusting human to rape someone but you arguably could be the stupidest person alive to do with others present.
-
Officially charged with rape.
-
Looks like officially dismissed from the team as well.
-
Don’t let the door hit you on the way out, jackass

Maybe today.
Should have known they’d defer to Friday.
-
Really sucks that we mostly all saw at least something like this coming. There are some things that warrant a second chance at the limelight and others that just don’t. I hope he gets some help and can figure out how to exist in this world without harming others. But glad he’s not going to play an official game in crimson and blue.
-
Dam , some guys just don’t get it. Here you are free ticket through School full Scholi , got possible money making career in front of you - - get your degree , and you DO THIS geez - – NO - - MEANS NO
-
Three other players listed as witnesses (not involved, but may have info). WONDERFUL. Big Mistake, Bill.

Now we have to pray these three other teammate witnesses were just innocent bystanders who happened by.
-
I’m sorry for the victim. I was for giving the kid a second chance but I was wrong. Get this kid out of here
-
In general I’m in favor of second chances but a second chance at a place like Kansas was not what he deserved. With his baggage he needed to drop down to the mid-major level, pay his dues, play well, and keep his record clean for a year, then after that returning to elite college ball could be an option. Allowing him to play for us after the past he’s had sends the wrong message.
-
Now the healing can begin.

Lock him up, throw away the key. DISGUSTING.
-
@BShark He’s about to get the same treatment for years.
-
@dylans Hope Bill learned a lesson here, probably not
-
Ain’t paying one cent to read garbage article, Morris isn’t worth the pub
-
Good lord that’s awful…
