Rotten news leading up to the season. Huge loss. But I salute Boals for putting character ahead of success on the court.

I wonder if the " Blunt" had anything to do with this!

The top returning player on Stony Brook’s men’s basketball team was arrested in a dorm incident last month and was suspended from the team, university officials said Tuesday night.

Ahmad Walker, 23, of Port Washington, was charged with second-degree harassment, a violation, and resisting arrest, a misdemeanor, on Sept. 10, a case that his father said has ruined his son’s sports and academic record.

Stony Brook University police officers were called to a campus dorm about 2:30 a.m. that day about a fight in progress, and when officers got there, they saw Walker and a woman arguing, according to police Chief Robert J. Lenahan.

“When officers were attempting to intervene the male shoved the female which resulted in the officers placing Mr. Walker under arrest,” Lenahan said Tuesday in an emailed statement.

Walker, released on his own recognizance, had an order of protection issued against him at arraignment and is due again in court Wednesday.

Walker has been suspended from the team, according to Brian Miller, the university’s assistant athletic director for communications.

University officials said Walker was suspended because of the arrest, but did not release other details.

But Kevin Walker said university officials had determined his son was “guilty until proven innocent” and blames them for putting his son’s education in limbo.

He said his son was not guilty of the charges. The father said the younger Walker did not shove the woman, a student.

Kevin Walker said his son was not home Tuesday night to comment.

Walker, a small forward, averaged 10.2 points and 6.8 rebounds last season.

Honest question: What can you do with his scholarship a month before the season?

Well I don't think Walker has been technically dismissed. It just says hes been suspended. I think he still has his scholarship.

Even if he has been properly dismissed, its too late for anyone to enroll for the Fall semester. We could possibly have a scholarships athlete enroll for the spring and be with the team for the second half of the season.

Unless I'm losing my mind, they changed the headline and story. I believe it said "dismissed" last night.

  It's  sad when these kids lose their cool over petty issues.  He throws away a scholarship and a big piece of his future for what  I don't know.

Call it what you will--SUSPENSION or DISMISSAL--, but it sure looks to me like Walker is gone for good!!  His roster spot has been taken by Blair Mundy out of California.  See below:
