uh oh. Well that’s a shocker

Yikes.

Holy crap! That's about the worst thing that could of happened to this team.

it’s going to be tough to overcome this.

The wording of the tweet is disconcerting. Being reviewed by the university?

and specifically at the hotel?

Right?

Dang that's a tweet I never expected to read about an Aggie...

My guess based on the evidence that a) it was something that could happen at a hotel b) it seems like the University doesn't exactly know the procedure at the moment and c) that law enforcement does not seem to be involved is that it was weed.

But that's pure conjecture and maybe we'll never hear the full story.

This answers the question I had when I looked at the game feed on ESPN: ‘No Chima?’

Kind of an odd tweet from him on Jan 31

I assume its against team rules to use weed- anywhere. So the hotel connection is very odd indeed. The very ambiguous announcement may just be that our ICA staff just does not know how to handle this type of issue well, or that maybe vandalism was involved? Yes, this is all total speculation but such a poor announcement invites this response. I know AD Blue is all over this right now. I’m confident that this will be handled correctly. China has always presented himself as great guy. What a shock!

Hanging tough, Shorts a warrior. ... odd tweet from Jan 31.

You have got to be kidding me... I'm flying up to davis next weekend for the game. First time back since graduating.

He better play!

I'm definitely out of the loop of any inside knowledge, but I find it curious that Chima didn't play at Lamar and I think two different halves in two nonconference games.

Any status on Delveion Jackson?

those are lyrics. Saw a few of these tweets from various people that day

If it’s not a country song I probably don’t know it

He did retweet the game winner. Maybe there is hope this is a short suspendion

From Chima's twitter account 1 hour ago:

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this gets straightened out and Chima is able to return to the team. That's not only because he's a great player but because I think he's a fine person as well who obviously must of made a big mistake.

Weren't his parents supposed to come and visit Davis and to see him for the first time in something like 7 years? What a shame if they come and he's suspended.

Chima is a great guy and great player. He probbly messed up a bit at the hotel. But i and most love him sooo much. Let’s just move forward with this . . . .

Waiting for more information...that tweet from MBB is so nondescript that it can one of so many different things. I would hope we’d get more information early next week.....

Tomorrow

TJ Shorts and the whole team battled! Hope we see him soon, the time I met him he was friendly and gracious.

I haven't been able to find anything so far.

announcement made it sound like university officials would be involved. nothing involving university officials could possibly be finished by 9:00 on Monday morning! maybe COB today.

His tweet about feeling "unappreciated" doesn't sound good. I am sure they have huge time demands, but also get a free education, and had a great ride last year. I'm sure we all hope things get worked out, this also affects the young man's post-college aspirations. Go Ags!

The tweet was open ended and gave no time frame as to when the next announcement would be given. I'm sure everyone would like to know what the situation is prior to the UCDB game. Also, is he practicing with the team or sitting them out?

that tweet was from last wednesday. there are other tweets in there that seem to speak very enthusiatically about things. we might be trying to read too much into 240 characters. these guys seem pretty tight.

Chima tweets lyrics every Wednesday by a hip hop artist named J Cole. I don't think there is any backstory to that line.

Someone else educated me to the hip hop reference. I’m not the intended audience

Hate to be a bringer of possible bad news, but a quick reading of the UC Davis sports eligibility policy website says that if an infraction of the law occurs by a student athlete it will be referred to the Student Judicial Council for review and for any action to be taken. The student athletes rights will be protected in the process. Only in paragraph 6 does it seem to state that if the infraction involves a student athlete “charged” with a felony is immediate suspension required. I don’t purport to be an expert on the subject, but it does not look good for Chima by my quick reading of the rules. Then again the delay may just be the judicial council getting involved and there apparently is no police report which is good. I sincerely hope that I am completely wrong! Seems very out of character for this impresssive young man.
