Isaiah Golden, a former four-star prospect who was dismissed from Texas A&M's football team in 2014, was sentenced to 10 years in prison Wednesday after pleading guilty to three counts of robbery, according to The Eagle.

Golden's sentence stemmed from an incident involving fellow former Aggies player Darian Claiborne during which both men robbed others at gunpoint during a marijuana deal gone bad. Golden will testify against Claiborne, who was also kicked off the team by Kevin Sumlin in 2014 following the arrests.
Golden, who starred at McNeese State last season, played along the defensive line in College Station while Claiborne was a member of Texas A&M's linebacking corps.

What a waste...

Yep...leaves a kiddo without a father too

Mean Machine has a new DT

History repeates itself. Paging Yemi Babaloa

10 yr plea includes him testifying against Claiborne.....

That's means their looking to throw the book @ DC

There was a 5 star LB we lost to crime about 12 years ago.

Jorrie Adams

not only did he rob someone at gun point, but he snitched on his accomplice. Talk about a guy looking out for #1.

I found this interesting from the article:

"but he will be considered for probation after serving 120 days.

Isaiah Demarcus Golden, 21, could receive 10 years of probation instead of prison time if the judge decides the punishment is appropriate after those first few months Golden spends incarcerated."

I would be surprised but not shocked given our legal system if he gets probation vs prison time.

Robbery? big deal. at least it wasn't murder.

Keeping it real?

Yeah, at least it wasn't genocide, amiright?

"Darian Claiborne named to the SEC All-Freshman Team by the leagues coaches."

Golden - a four-star, DT.

A good-sized chunk of our defensive trouble to this day is due to those two dumba$$es throwing it all away.

Don't forget Kam Miles.

his cellmate's gonna be all "his ass, my dude."

Sounds like Golden got a sentence of 10 years Shock, which basically means the judge can pull him out of prison after something less than 180 days and put him on probation. If the judge determines it would be better for him to stay in prison at that time, than he would get the full 10 years.

Even if he goes on probation, there will still always be the chance that a judge sentences him to the full ten years at a later date if he doesn't stay out of trouble.

sadly it's a vicious circle

he will come out a hardened criminal and his kid will be without a dad and repeat all of this

Do the crime, do the time.
Simple.

Sadly those two deserve it.

Sumlin gave them every chance possible to straighten up. They didn't take his advice.

I hope some of the current players and future players learn from this example.

Absentee father percentage is MUCH higher in the black community and they (and us) have suffered the consequences. However the "nonblack" community hasn't taken notes and the absentee percentage in those groups is trying desperately to catch up. The result is the same.

Asking a question as it relates to an observation is not judgment, especially if predicated on the trends of a specific group and sample size.

I am a minority and grew up in the hood. I don't get offended by generalizations and stereotypes. First hand information is not always available and is often misrepresented. Speaking to those that identify with the topic and asking questions is important if one truly wants understanding.

Plenty of kids that grow up w/o a father around manage to not commit violent crimes.....

That's a dumb**** excuse

What.....he robbed people at gun point but starred at McNeese State last year and may be living the good life again in 180 days? Crime does pay !!! Pros are probably already looking at him.

At this point that's the least of anyone's worries

How is a university giving a scholarship to a player who's up on armed robbery charges?

How does a "university" give scholarships to people noted to have raped multiple women? #baylol #RapeU

That's exactly what I was thinking - Baylor kept Sam Nwachuwku (sp?) on scholarship while up on charges for raping another student athlete. McNeese SIGNS this guy? This was very in the public domain.

Any criminal lawyers have any idea how much actual time he'll do before he's paroled?

He was young. He still played college football after he was kicked off our team.

Seems like he's a good candidate to be rehabilitated if he's had no other issues since.
