Excerpt:  UP IN THE AIR: Freshmen LBs C.J. Hunnicutt and Brouce Mompremier and DE Josh Julmiste's futures with the Bulls are in doubt as a result of their involvement in the theft of former player Randy Jackson's belongings.

``They have violated team rules,'' Leavitt said. ``We're trying to decide right now whether they'll even be with us or not. Right now they're not.''

USF police forwarded the charges - Josh Julmiste and Mompremier grand theft felony and Hunnicutt petty theft - to the state attorney's office, which will decide whether to arrest them.

USF police reported Jackson's property (PlayStation 2, television, VCR, computer and other items valued at $3,615) was stolen from Jackson's room between Aug. 12, when he left the team, and Aug. 30.

We'll just have to see how it all plays out.

At the moment they aren't practicing with the team and none of them were expected to play this year anyway.

We certainly don't need any more distractions.

Three USF football players are facing theft charges stemming from an incident in the university's residence halls.

It was unclear Monday what happened among the three players. The incident took place about three weeks ago, but the date could not be confirmed.

Linebackers C.J. Hunnicutt and Brouce Mompremier and defensive end Josh Julmiste, all freshmen, are facing the charges, according to Lt. Terry Gordon of the University Police. Gordon said no other information could be made available because the case is open at the state attorney's office.

Mark Ober, state attorney for the thirteenth judicial circuit, which includes Tampa, could not be reached Monday. According to his voicemail, his office and the Tampa court system will be closed this week due to the potential arrival of Hurricane Ivan.

The incident occurred after the players had been sitting together in one of the players' dorm rooms, said UP Sgt. Mike Klingebiel.

"One of the players left for a period of time, and then the other players took possession of his belongings," said Klingebiel, who was speaking without the incident report at hand and said he could not remember other details surrounding the incident.

None of the players saw action in the Bulls' 21-7 win in their season opener against Tennessee Tech on Saturday.

USF defensive coordinator Rick Kravitz confirmed that the three had not practiced since the incident, and added that they were "good kids."

The players could not be reached for comment Monday. USF coach Jim Leavitt did not return phone calls to his office and cell phone Monday night.

Julmiste is the brother of starting quarterback Pat Julmiste. He moved from tight end to defensive end during fall practices.

Hunnicutt received praise from Leavitt during fall practices. Both he and Mompremier are likely to redshirt this season.

Three USF freshmen football players accused of theft in the university residence halls could face felony larceny charges.

Linebackers C.J. Hunnicutt and Brouce Mompremier and defensive end Josh Julmiste are under investigation by the State Attorney's Office, according to Lt. Mike Klingebiel of the University Police. The person whose items were stolen was another football player, a source said, but the identity of the player could not be confirmed Tuesday night.

According to a police report, UP was called to Holly Apartment building C at 6:53 p.m. on Aug. 30 to investigate "unlawful entry and (the) theft of a Play Station 2, television, VCR, computer, digital video discs, videos and miscellaneous items" valued at $3,615. In Florida, grand larceny, which is a felony, is a theft of more than $300.

The report said the items were stolen sometime between 10:30 on the night of Aug. 12 and 5:30 on the afternoon of Aug. 30. Some of the property has been recovered, the report said. It also said that charges were filed with the State Attorney's Office and the students were referred to Student Affairs.

Mark Ober, state attorney for the 13th judicial circuit, which includes Tampa, could not be reached Tuesday, as his offices are closed due to Hurricane Ivan.

USF coach Jim Leavitt said the players are not active members of the team at this time.

"They have violated team rules. Things have been done that they messed up on," Leavitt said. "We're trying to decide right now whether they'll even be with us or not. Right now they are not with us."

Julmiste, the brother of starting quarterback Pat Julmiste, moved from tight end to defensive end during fall practices. Hunnicutt, who was praised by Leavitt during fall practice, and Mompremier were likely to redshirt this season
