Update: Thursday, 7:03a.¬†Good for Shafer. News comes down he indeed dismisses both players from the team. As detailed below, the simple grounds of stupidity should be enough. The scope of the crime is ridiculous. To hatch a half-baked plan to rob South Campus apartments is far worse than an emotional reaction outside a bar or in a police car. Why suffer fools, especially if they’re second semester juniors still acting the fool? Glad he tossed them. Didn’t belong with a scholarship with that type of nonsense. He made a quick decision, and didn’t go half way with some mealy-mouthed “they’ll sit out the Spring Game” silliness. Good job.

Some events leave you scratching your head in Orange Land. Michael Carter-Williams’ late-game decision-making in tight spots. Darryl Gross’ orange/orange/orange football uniform concept. And now Markus Pierce-Brewster¬†and¬†Davon Walls robbing a South Campus apartment.
How do two players in their junior years, with just one final season of eligibility, concoct an idea to steal $950 worth of electronics? College kids (myself included) can be stupid. But this ridiculously brain-dead decision even stretches that admission.
First, you’re going to engage in any type of criminal activity which could easily compromise your final year of football? While neither player was a star, MPB was expected to make big contributions on the defensive line. Yeah, throw that away for a chance to steal an Xbox and some video games. Good idea. Not sure what defense they’ll have. They were caught on security camera.
Thefts happen all of the time in the dorms and South Campus. Been happening for years. Students leave their rooms unlocked and head to the dining hall. On South, it can be eerily quiet in the middle of the day when students are at class or in this case on a Saturday when people are out doing things. Probably seems like the time for a perfect crime.
But how could these two think it’s worth the risk to steal less than $1,000 of stuff? An Xbox, two iPods, a few video games… and a 19″ television? Think of how small a 19″ screen is. So the criminal mastermind says, “Yo. I know these two dudes who are gonna be at the mall Saturday afternoon. They got this little TV, an Xbox, Call of Duty. Let’s snatch that.” What, you’re going to split $500 each? And risk a free education and your chance to maybe play for a paycheck?
Something was up. Two other apartments in the same complex were hit up at the same time by two other students. So clearly they were all in on it together. They knew when the apartments would be empty/open and split up the targets. So Wells and MPB should be embarrassed. You’re going into criminal business with two punk kids who everyone will forget about in 12 minutes? You two are the football players who will make headlines, and sacrifice your full rides.
Scott Shafer may suspend them for the first two games of the season. He may only hold them out of Spring Practice. Me? I hope he tosses them both off the team. Marcus Sales is riding around with his brother’s drugs. Marquis Spruill wrestles with cops. Both returned to the squad.
But tag-teaming a South Campus apartment for a little TV and two iPods? They’re juniors in their second semesters. These are not snot-nosed freshman idiots who are a few months removed from prom.¬†Get them out of here. Give me a break. Toss them on grounds of stupidity. Your move Shafe.

@Dubs;
After reading the article I would believe that it was a one game suspension only. The reason that I say that is because noone has heard anymore about it. But in the end you may be right in saying that they’re both gone.
The link you provided is much appreciated thank you.
@Ron
I don’t think they are gone, that was the Cuse Don’t Luse guy. I just couldn’t figure out what he was talking about so I assumed that was why he thought he might be gone. I think both players suspended from the pinstripe bowl will be back.
@Dubs;
I haven’t seen any post from you on any of the earlier subjects that have been posted here,so I figure your a newcomer to the site.
Cuse Don’t Luse is a teenager that lives in Texas and is very much a Syracuse Fan that get’s pretty involved with this site.
Welcome aboard,I hope you enjoy it as much as the rest of us. At times the debates get really interesting.
Yeah I am new to the site, I like getting an insight on recruiting and reading about things that Syracuse.com doesn’t share. I go to grad school part time at Cuse right now and love everything Orange. I’m still waiting to see this site’s take on A.J. Long.
The only negative thing that I’ve read about this kid was his Pennsylvania High School coach is mad at him for leaving and going to Friendship Christian Prep Schooli Lebanon TN to finish his high school career without letting him know that he was leaving.
After watching the tape on this kid,I can understand his disappointment.
Now they are saying a QB from OU is looking at SU. I think he has 1 year left. Doesn’t SU have enough QBs. WHY???
@Ron, I was referring to the article that stated
“Something was up. Two other apartments in the same complex were hit up at the same time by two other students. So clearly they were all in on it together.”
Clearly that was not the case
@Brian;
Brian I thin 3 of those people will got to jail for their actions. Because of MPB having to go in front of a grand jury,I think they find him guilty of a lesser crime(because he wasn’t the one who entered the apartment)and probably end up with probation with no jail time. But in the end his career at Syracuse is over.
I hope A.J Long doesn’t pull something like that on us. He looks like he could be a star.
@Terry – we don’t have any proven qbs and we need to keep our forward momentum so more is better.
Dubs,welcome to the site you’ll enjoy the diversity of opinions and love of all things (esp football) Cuse!!I see u and Ron have met…were good friends even when we disagree lol!!
@Dubs;
Your going to find that Russell is very knowledgeable about the game of football and is also know as the ” King of the one liners” on this web site.
Your going to enjoy the conversations that we carry here.
@Russell MacEachern;
How you doing old friend? It looks like we have a couple of new members to the site. Dubs,TheBigSqueez and Big Pappa Pump, I hope that they all decide to join in for some lively debate.
Ron,seems to be a shortage of recruiting activity during this March Madness time?I hear some recruits are coming in Friday for an unofficial visit….one is WR KJ.Williams cousin of AJ.Long?Hearing anything?…Ron,Notice the difference in amount of comments in FB articles?63 and counting!!
Russell,no I haven’t heard a thing about any of the recruits coming in to visit. They all are saying that this KJ Williams is the real deal. Let’s all hope that they like what they see and commit to play here.
However I did read just lastnight that Syracuse has scholarships to offer for the class of 2013. I’m just wondereing if losing Davon Walls and MPB has anything to do with the openings.
We’ve been talking football(for the class of 2014) since the beginning of the year. I posted on another thread that I don’t remember ever talking about the football program so early.
It’s all good buddy,all good.

head before writing. I have had difficulty clearing my thoughts in getting my thoughts out there.

Kudos!
