6’8 sweet shooting lefty out of Cathedral High School. Asst Brian Walsh was in to see him last week. Holds a dozen+ mid-major offers but was recently offered by Wake Forest, school that produced Jake LaRavia who I think is a very fair comp. Avg 20 points and shooting 50% from 3 for the 5-0 Irish. Plays on Spiece Indy Heat’s EBYL team and believe his recruitment will take off this summer. Comes from a big IU family.

Tanner Holden has already gone for 38 on two different occasions so lets hope it's not him.

This game could be the turning point for Mgbako one way or the other. He's been publicly called out by the head coach...how he responds will truly reveal his character and grit.

Army's free throw shooting.

A very soft partisan group here for sure.

Of all the posts to delete, this is the one you choose? LOL It wasn’t even a personal attack.

Edit: Avoid personal attacks -blue

That’s not why his window was smashed lol

Right. Doesn’t mean his window was “broken for no reason”.

It not semantics, it’s a distinction. Charges don’t get filed all the time and it has nothing to do with police behavior.

Just an FYI, the prosecution not filing resisting charges doesn't equate to "cops broke his window for no reason". They still had probable cause to arrest him for criminal trespass (a charge that stuck) and used it as a means to get him out of his vehicle that he refused to exit.

Matters of race?? He acted like a jacka** in the drive thru line of a private establishment at 2am to the extent that the police were called. And then for 15 minutes the police demanded he leave and go home. How hard is that to understand if you're MM? I can only imagine that phone call to my dad at 3am at the age of 18. Me: "Hey dad I'm acting belligerent in the Taco Bell drive thru line because they won't serve me. They called the police and they're here telling me to leave the premises. What should I do?" Dad: (phone clicks) It didn't take me until the age of 18 to understand that when the police tell you to do something, you do it. Probably why I've never been arrested. I'm not "mad" at MM either, but trying to defend his actions is the reason why there's so much disconnect between police and the public nowadays. The police gave him every opportunity to walk away from a situation that he caused. He didn't do it. Learning experience for sure, should have never gotten to that point in the first place.

Waiting on his dad!?! He’s 18, he’s an adult. GO HOME!!!! IT AIN’T THAT HARD. He had every opportunity to leave the vicinity and go home and this becomes a nothing burger. What was his dad going to do? Magically get him Taco Bell?

Right which is why loitering could be perfectly applied. There’s zero reason for MM to be idling in his car at 3am in an empty parking lot of a closed business less than 100 yards from a business he was just removed from for trespassing. Like I said, mental gymnastics.

At 3am, of a closed business, less than 100 yards from an address that you were just trespassed from. Context. Use it. Go home in that situation. It ain’t hard. The mental gymnastics being used to excuse this behavior is astounding.

Context my friend. Use it next time.

I don't think moving your car 100 feet after being escorted off the premises of a business that you just had an altercation with while waiting for the police to leave before going back over there is the de-escalation you think it is. Given that Jiffy Treat is closed at that hour that's also loitering. I'm sure after so many times of telling someone to go home they had no other choice.

Lol that isn't the job of the police. Removing MM from the situation however is and what they did.

For refusing to leave a place of business after repeatedly being told to do so?? If that's the case, he really has some issues unfortunately.

Why? BPD gave MM every opportunity to walk away from this situation. 15 minutes. You don't get to tell the police no while trespassing on private property for 15 minutes and still get a chance to walk away clean.

Scared? He completely brought this entire situation upon himself. If you're willing to get the police called on you for not receiving a Taco Bell order you have other issues. I was a regional sales rep in my early years that required me to travel by car 3-4 times a week. Needless to say, drive thru's were a part of the routine and something unfortunately were frequented. Not once in 8 years and multiple bad experiences did I EVER think to do something that would get the police called on me.

He was asked to leave Taco Bell after getting combative in the drive thru line. You want to talk about rights, Taco Bell is 100% within their rights to refuse to serve somebody as well ask them to leave private property. I don't think you intended to open this can of worms. You're assuming he wasn't under arrest before he finally left the property after being told for 15 minutes to leave. You don't get endless amounts of chances to defy law enforcement. That isn't a right that you speak of. Agreed. Nothing the police did violated MM rights. There's a distinction that needs to be made. You're assuming the police just walked up to his car and busted out his window for the hell of it. It took him 15 minutes to leave the parking after being ordered to leave it several times prior. You're assuming he wasn't ordered out of the car before the finally broke the window to unlock the car? He still resisted even after all that. Zero sympathy.

What rights of MM were violated?

Lol. That's your take away from my posts? For the record, I'm pro common sense. Common sense would tell me getting arrested over a $15-20 Taco Bell order never factored into the equation because none of it was ever applied. The rest of your BS is trivial. The fact they gave him 15 minutes to leave the premises tells me they didn't come in hot from the go, actually quite the opposite. Not going to find many cops who give people breaking the law 15 minutes to correct their action. How many times do you think he was asked to leave the Taco Bell parking lot in that 15 minute span? 10, 20? He had every opportunity in the world to escape that situation with no Taco Bell being the worst outcome. He chose silliness instead. Again, if you don't want your window smashed in, don't lock the door of your car when the cops are trying to detain you. Common sense is free my dude.

How do you figure? They gave him 15 entire minutes to leave the premises of a private property. Most cops wouldn't have given him 2 minutes. They already showed great restraint in not arresting him after he left the property and returned the first time he did it. He was asked to exit his vehicle to be taken into custody, there's not anyway around that at that point, he refused and locked himself in the car. Don't want your window busted out? Get out of the damn car and put your hands behind your back. Again, this isn't hard.
