Be careful about that. Being arrested on a felony charge (or charges) and being a felon are two different things.you are correct He pleaded out into a diversion program. Your dOuchetastic mistake in which you came across as a judgmental ***** that glossed over facts and misstated that USF has a felon coming in is exactly what outsiders will do regarding Demarest and his pretrial diversion program. . . . . . except they won't have Greg to set them straight.Again, it is the appearance of corruption. . . . . not the act of corruption that damages reputations.

Guest hm101 Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 I dont remember hearing about this guy in any capacity prior to his consideration for DB coach, let alone any potential impact his charges had on Rutgers' football program. What makes you think him joining our staff will cause everyone to look unfavorably on our team? This happened 2 years ago and Rutgers was just fine... if he can bring something to the table and make positive changes to the defense, hire him.

Who are these "outsiders" you speak of? If i was an opposing Def. Backs coach recruiting a kid who Demarest was recruiting for USF, I would be sure to mention to the kid's mother that the guy who was sitting in her living room the day before (who seeks to mentor her son for as many as 5 years) quit his previous job in shame because he beat on his girlfriend. Because recruiting is scummy and because pretrial diversion programs are convoluted and tricky 99% of the time people think you took a conviction (right flasportsfan ). BTW, when I was 17, my mom would have wanted to know that about the guy sitting in her living room recruiting her son. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are lucky enough to be offered PTI, you take it. And once you have completed the program, normally the charges are dropped. Had he not chosen to take the PTI (which would have been a major error on his part), he very well could have been convicted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
