Injured BamaPlayer Darius Miles charged with murder

[bvandegraff]

Oats will hold a press conference tomorrow, presumably to address this situation. Per UA, Miles is off the team and "removed from campus." The worst thing about this incomprehensible situation is that a 5-year-old boy is now without his mother.

Tough news. Let’s make sure we keep it basketball related here. If we need another thread for NS we can do that.

Hearing two other players were interviewed extensively. Let's hope it ends here.

Sounds like a case of hanging with people he shouldn’t have. Probably old neighborhood friends and now he’s paying for it.

He’s from Baltimore/DC I think.

May be a roommate thing. Just asking what they know. Geez.

Have they said which one pulled the trigger?

I heard he was struggling with the loss of his best friend. I think he was in DC. Not sure honestly, but if it is what I am hearing, he is where he needs to be. Sad, sad situation all around,

Just listened to the press conference. Not much new info. Other than it does sound like there isn't any impact on any of the other players..... which is good. Darius is claiming he's innocent - not sure what that means.... (not him? self-defense? etc) -- ugh! sad all around

I don't think so.

My guess is he plead not guilty and lawyered up.

I've been wondering the appropriate time to discuss the impact of this situation on the team. Oats says he gathered the team together yesterday. While all the facts about Miles' involvement aren't known yet, this has to be an incredible shock and enormous distraction to his teammates. The older players (Q, Sears, Gurley) will really need to step up their leadership role to keep this young team focused on their goals. In a season of so many highs, this is a terrible low. We'll find out where things stand tomorrow night.

Credit to Oats for having a full-on news conference instead of just issuing a statement.

I was always told nothing good happens after midnight.

I'm no spring chicken and still feel that way.

I thought the news said he was from Birmingham

Not a good look for this young man.

I’d say that murdering a woman/being an accessory to murder is a bit more than “not a good look”…
