Arterio Morris
-
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…

Fwiw This is actual news reporting not an opinion piece. - just switch to private browsing and you can read for free. Sounds like he should be going away for more than a decade if reports are true.

Thanks, if it is true then he deserves every minute he gets. He had his future right there in front of him and blew it
-
@dylans - Paywall unfortunately. For us non-KC types, summary?
-
@Gorilla72 It should offer you 48 hours access if you answer 3 questions (they are yes/no) and you can provide a burner email or just mark it as spam.
-
@Gorilla72 I don’t pay the KCStar either. (On your device switch to private mode so they can’t install tracking bugs, answer a couple questions if needed - you can read unlimited articles this way for free) they get their add revenue and clicks.
The article states it was forceful in a bit more detailed way than I needed. But if she had to deal with it it’s the least I can do to read, comprehend, and try to understand what happened. Just a horrible deal.
-
@dylans Well said sir.
-
Just awful.
I hope the worst happens to him while he’s locked away. It’s well deserved

Yeah I should have added a trigger/content warning with the link. Edited it in.

Wow. What is GCCC thinking?
-
Wait… what… my brain hurts… trying to comprehend… does not compute…
-
JFC! He’s even closer now. He should be playing for Leavenworth.
-
I can’t imagine any decent student wanting to go to a basketball game in which Morris plays at GCCC. There will be a lot of protests outside the arena. This is sure to backfire for them
-
@Bosthawk you would be surprised how many thugs have gone thru there. Talent over common sense in recruiting.
-
@dylans Is there a state pen in Leavenworth to go with the 2 fed pens? Lansing has one, too, doesn’t it? My court-martialed clients were in the federal military prison in Leavenworth, but I never dealt with the Kansas prisons and can’t remember how they were organized.
-
@mayjay definitely a state prison in Lansing. Which, fun fact. Some of which was built during the LINCOLN administration. I think club fed is the only thing in Leavenworth.

Don’t think thee is State in Leavenworth. - -State prisons in Lansing , Hutchinson , El Dorado, then you got one up by the Nebraska line in the middle of no where but don’t think Levanworth

Tyreek Hill for one. Definitely nothing new for them.
-
Blah blah blah, insert long soliloquy about how Arterio is a bad person, never should have let him on the team.
And to quote myself from back in April to save me the typing:
“Hope he fits in, does the right thing on and off the court.”
-
If you don’t want to read more about Morris, you don’t have to open the threads about him. Given that he was on the team and is now a former player and that this incident happened at KU I feel it merits discussion.
-
If you were referring to my post above sharky, i am interested in reading about Morris … just didn’t seem like there was much more to say that wasn’t said already (thus the blahs). and patting myself on the back for predicting things wouldn’t end well.

Yeah the whole day has been draining so I read into something that wasn’t there I’d think. Just an all around very sad situation.
-
The whole thing is disappointing on so many levels. Appreciate folks sharing the info. It remains relevant, even though it is bad news.

Lansing is correct for the state pen. I was putting him in the federal pound you in the ass prison. (Not really though it’s medium security)

Lol wll they are actually all pound you in the ass prisons not fun at all but this way I know he will get what he gave - -DAILY
-
We still don’t know if this actually happened folks. Hopefully he rots in prison if so.
-
@kjayhawks It certainly doesn’t look good for him that his story changed… multiple times.
-
The truth doesn’t change.
-
Garden already kicked him out
-
@kjayhawks not with 100% certainty, no. Douglas County’s tendency to railroad young minorities should make everyone cautious. Buuuuut it seems a lot more likely than not. Like less than 10% chance IMO. Plenty to say yeah he’s a total shitbag
-
Now we can say with some certainty that he came to KU with Ulterio Mortives.
-
There was an active shooter event at gccc this morning. - first thing I thought was man arterio keeps making things worse for himself.
It was not Arterio (that I’m aware of) and no one was hurt last I knew.
-
I didn’t even know he was at GC, until I read a post this morning. Thought he was back in Texas
-
@jayballer67 he’s gone now. No idea where he is.
-
Apparently some juco in Louisiana now
-
from the Topeka Capitol Journal…
Former Kansas basketball player Arterio Morris is reportedly planning to continue his career at a junior college in California.
The Lawrence Journal-World reported Saturday that Morris, who was dismissed from the KU program in September after being arrested and charged with rape, is set to play at Los Angeles Southwest College. This comes a day after the athletic director at Garden City Community College in Kansas, Mike Pilosof, announced that it was in the best interest of everyone to note that Morris is no longer enrolled at that in-state institution.
Multiple requests to Los Angeles Southwest College have yet to be answered.
According to the Lawrence Journal-World, this was the plan since around Morris’ suspension from the KU program in mid-September — which came after the rape allegation in the state of Kansas. Attending a school in the state of Kansas would have allowed Morris to stay closer to where the court case for his rape charge is being held, but that didn’t work out. Morris is scheduled to appear in court on Wednesday in Douglas County District Court in Lawerence.

Sounds like he’s trying out run it but you can’t do that in this day and age

My brain hurts after reading that
