When they actually have the papers signed. Nothing is official until the papers are filed.

I wouldn't have minded us signing him, but I know that he had trouble in the past and turned it around, but you never know when he might turn back into a troublemaker, or he could have just been acting good until the draft, hoping someone would take a chance on him.

[quote=SC Skins Fan;444867]Might be worth watching the Outside the Lines on the kid before you go around impugning his character all over the place. This is all I know of the kid, but it sure sounds like an unfair prosecution to me ... girls father found out, she came up with a story, the prosecution nailed him with an indictment that carried a 10-year min. sentence so they can say they are tough on crime and, of course, the racial implications are right out of the 1890s. I hope he gets a shot someplace ...

No, just treating others to the same standards and treatment CJ got. All I meant was why waist a draft pick on someone who might be in trouble with the law frequently? I would welcome him if he has his "itshay" straight and makes the team. She may have come up with the story but in the "Pro Football Weekly Pro Prospects Preview" it says he was found guilty by jury of molestation, and statutory rape. He was sentenced to 10yrs on the molestation charge. A Supreme Court overturned the charge because it was proven it was consentual but he still got a yr jail sentence for a lesser offense but had already done a yr prior to the proceedings so they gave him time served. Unless I missed something. He's a criminal. Character police won't like him. Sorry.

I wonder if he has to register with the state for his offense due to it being a sex crime?

Read this story about him, all he did was have consensual sex with a girl 3 years younger than him and they convicted him for it. I would not label him as a troublemaker for that.

3yrs younger and only 15yrs old. He should have caught another charge of contributing to the delinquency of a minor...although thats a misdimeanor.

The case was about the fact that he was a black and she was white. That is the bottom line. Unless you think race and class don't have any effect in the criminal justice system. He's a good fit in a 3-4, so the Cowboys are probably a good landing spot for him, but we'll see.

Boatman has incredible speed, strenght, and size.

Re: Official UDFA Signing Thread
 

Also young men who are 18 or older and have girlfriends who are under 18 need to realize they are at the mearcy of the parents of the juvenile if what ever they are doing is not approved of by the parents. Which will catch you a contributing charge. Now throw in the fact she was 3yrs younger and you have Dixon. Prime example to other young men.

He's already got his mind made up. He read it in PFW. Don't bother.
