EJ Underwood, Maupin, Dukes suspended

CleveBucks

Serenity now
We knew about Dukes, but the Dispatch confirms EJ Underwood and Maupin are also not currently with the team.

Where are they now ?

Jim Tressel confirmed that two current players — defensive back E.J. Underwood and defensive tackle Brandon Maupin — are suspended while they take care of personal matters.

Freshman receiver Albert Dukes is not in school this winter and is back home in Belle Glade, Fla. He is preparing for a hearing later this month on a charge of lewd and lascivious battery brought against him by a minor female for an incident that occurred last summer.

He has been told to concentrate on his legal situation. After that, Tressel said, they would talk about his future with the team.
 
I for one would hate to lose Brandon at this point. Considering our lack of experience at the corner (aside Youboty and EJ), it would sting to lose Brandon too.

I've heard rumblings that Maupin was having some off the field issues and that would explain his dilemma. Hopefully all 3 players, regardless of which 3, get their lives back together and get back on track. These kids are too young to be at a spiraling stage already....I'd like to see them all back at tOSU and contributing soon.

Yes, Maupin is the one with the approximate $1,900 in outstanding parking tickets.

yes, Brandon is the first person still alive listed in the Dispatch's recent article about top outstanding parking ticket offenders...

that reminds me, I have one I have to pay from the West Campus...

Interesting to note, O-zone has the 3 players in questions as Dukes,
E.J. and Brandon Underwood, not Maupin.
Maybe they've updated it since this morning, but the Ozone's article on the suspensions now shows Maupin:

"Also missing from team drills are defensive back E. J. Underwood and reserve defensive tackle Brandon Maupin."

Appears they did.
Thats good though, didnt want to have to lose Brandon, he could be a good one.
Plus, this is just a suspension, they could be getting their collective acts together as I type this, and all 3 be ready for spring ball.
Well except Dukes maybe, that ones up to the courts.
