Agreed. If he isn't fully qualified and is missing court dates, that points to a character flaw. And as we are establishing our culture, do we need to take this risk?

Yeah, it’s not ideal, but people do a lot of dumb things at age 22, including myself. In my early 20s, I didn’t pay a fine for a speeding ticket, and my drivers license was suspended. I don’t know how it works in Georgia, but I see this as a similar incident.

No, and let me preface this by saying i don't think this development is that bad, there is a pattern of behavior emerging. I'm not ready to move on from him yet, but needs to grow up a bit and take some responsibility. Hopefully our coaching staff can hammer that home with this young man. We've all done stupid stuff in our youth. Hopefully most of us grew out of that phase.

Yes, he needs to grow up and be more responsible. Since he’s a Juco RB, I’m sure Ryan Held has been recruiting him. Held knows well what JUCO kids are like, and probably has a good relationship with Mills. If Mills still wants to be at NU, the coaches still probably want him.
Umm... It appears he was originally cited for driving while license suspended (not speeding), apparently a criminal charge in Georgia; which may mean a mandatory court appearance. Just going off what we have, he didn't make that court appearance. Now he may have been naive, but this situation coupled with not being on track to get here in the Spring makes me want to move on.
If he does get here, hopefully someone will take him under their wing and teach him that he needs to be more responsible.

The kid didn’t do anything criminal? Slow down and let’s see what happens. Always rush to throw these kids out and move on. If he hit a woman sure. He was driving with a suspended drivers License. Not really a big deal.
Not throwing the kid under the bus, just stating what is fact. If you click here it states the underlying offense is driving with a suspended license and lists it as a misdemeanor. Futhermore, if you Google 40-5-121(a), Georgia Statute, it indicates this is a criminal offense. So calm down, stop pouting, and realize not all crimes involve domestic violence.
As for my opinion, which I'm entitled to, I'm simply saying if there is an equal talent, which I believe is Bivens, that doesn't have this new baggage I say move on.

Not sure I agree with this.
At least to the point of being already tested at the P5 level.

I forgot to pay one once...I sent it in (to the small town where I was pulled over) like 4 months later. Never heard a thing.
I imagine that sometime cops will basically just take payment for a speeding ticket right when they pull you over.

so he was taken into custody in Georgia, he lived in Kansas....soooooo lots of reasons why he may not have paid the ticket or known that he had a warrant out for his arrest...
