Alexis Morris to Rutgers
- Thread starter Colerr
- Start date
Just went through a very long thread on the Baylor forum about Morris, and no one there has been able to confirm anything. One very "connected" poster said that she got in some legal trouble over the summer, but everything else was rumor and speculation. People tried to track down record of any arrest or charges filed, but couldn't find any.
Baylor is traditionally very tight lipped about things, so I doubt anything official will come out other than that she was dismissed for "violation of team rules".
Maybe once she's on the Banks more information may become known, but all I can find so far is speculation.
Not going to provide the link but pretty easy to find now. I do not put much stock in arrests that are not followed by further legal action. Anyone who has been at a political demonstration or tried to stop a fight or police harassment/brutality is at risk of being arrested. I do not know what happened after September 10th in this matter.
Charge(s):
ASLT CONT- C ( TSU2018-24412)
Arrest Date:
Sep 10 2018
State:
Texas
County:
Hays
Thanks - my Google-Fu had failed me. Booked and released the same day with no bail, it seems.
Some more info on the charge:
"One commits assault by contact if he (or she) intentionally or knowingly causes physical contact with another person when he knows or should reasonably believe that the other person will regard the contact as offensive or provocative.
Common examples include shoving someone or spitting on them. Assault by contact is usually a class C misdemeanor, the lowest level of criminal offense in Texas."
I am not going to post the details -- you can research -- just made me leery, and "everyone deserves a second chance" is EXACTLY what CVS said when she took the student athlete referenced.
Welcome to the banks Alexis. I really like her game. If she can shoot even 35+% from beyond the arc, that will be huge for us. And C. Viv doesn't just have to have two guards in there at any given time. She can play with 3 guards and even 4 guards. And as for defense, I see the utilization of the 55 even more with speedy guards causing havoc on the floor.
Any female athlete would be smart to get the heck away from Baylor, glad we could provide refuge
It would be “hypocritical” to look at a domestic violence issue any differently for a prospective member of the woman’s team than one would look at that same issue for a prospective member of the men’s team. The transfer of someone who has been dismissed from his prior institution for domestic violence to an RU men’s team would be highly scrutinized.

I remember this story now. And you ask a very good question.
Would everyone agree if Ash or Pikiell gave a second chance to an athlete with a similar background ?
I'm not sure i would.
I’m just posting what was said on the BU boards. Shit happens BUT HOPEFULLY She’s got her head straightened out and being up here, with Vivian, will be a huge plus for this young lady. Now mind your own business. [cheers]
yep and from what I could find , though probably deserved to be booted, Alexis might have been allowed back after serving a 1 year suspension from team. a

So a bit of follow up.
Morris is still enrolled in Baylor. At least according to some on the boards, she could potentially earn a 2nd chance starting next year. I think there are some things she has to do but I don't want to be specific with 2nd hand information on that.
She did tweet something about Baylor that was very positive and actually made the comment "we are loaded".
Hope she gets things worked out.
also found this classy tweet Alexis made

Sooo many players might have repsonded with a bitter comment. That's awesome the amount of respect she showed for her former teammates, coach, and school. She has to be feeling a lot of emotions.
The facts that come out might not tell the whole story, but should not be glossed over because of
her talent.
I was leery of bringing Alexis in until I tried to find info about her.
What I found eased my mind a bit, but still have some concerns about her .
Dang - she made all 7 of them!
I like the flex after 2nd to last one.
And that cross over was quick and sick!
Like Corey Sanders - maybe quicker!
Next year could be fun as well...
I do not condone any faith based education. Christian . Catholic. Jewish. Mormon. Muslim. They seperate and segregate..Nuts . Hope you are well...:stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
Catholics happen to be Christians & anyone can & does go to their schools.
