Jordan Bernstine ""Morris" in trouble?

isumellie · 07-26-2007, 12:11 PM

Jordan committed 12/23/2006
Chizik introduced as ISU coach 11/27/2006

Man dinger you just beat me to it

As dinger noted, we may never know if Chizik called Bernstine or not.

The ironic thing is that right before Arvell Nelson was busted for his DUI Iowa had a relatively quiet offseason. Then Bradley Fletcher goes gets a DUI. So it hasn't been a good month of July but things could be worse.

I remember some Cyclone fans saying when Chizik was hired that he should put the full-court press on and get Jordan to commit because at the time he was still undecided about his future. I don't know if there was any contact made by Chizik, as he was in the middle of assembling his coaching staff.

I mean't to say that hopefully once Jordan gets away from the situation in Des Moines he will be able to focus on football and school.

I won't predict the outcome of the investigation currently being conducted. However if you believe everything that is written in the comments section of the story on the Register's website you might have some "issues".

Absolutely...he was one of the best football players in the country. That said, I'm pretty sure none of US did background checks.

I don't think a background check BEFORE this incident or non incident would have found anything...

I agree...sarcastic response to a prior post.

It sounds like Jordan needs to get to Iowa City soon before he stirs up more trouble. My guess is that as crooked as the DSMPD is nothing will come of this. It shames me to say it but I'm sure some Hawk booster will probably make the whole thing go away with a donation. However, I'm surprised that if Jordan resorted to taking matters into his own hands that he didn't at least go to the south-side mafia and as them to do him a favor and take care of his little problem.

Care to elaborate on these allegations?

I don't have any facts to back up my allegations other than the dealings that I've seen first hand with Des Moines law enforcement officials, south-side DSM politicians, and other third parties.

Nice.

I haven't heard of this wide-spread corruption of police and politicians (or other third parties, whomever that is) in Des Moines. Maybe someone "made a donation" to keep this out of the news?

If you've seen these dealings "first hand" you should be able to provide some sort of stories, shouldn't you?

Iowa's QB (Arvel Nelson) didn't get a DUI. He was driving without a license or something along those lines. Just wanted to clear that up a little.

This might be a start for the DMPD corruption case:

Ever heard of a little thing called CIETC? Massively dirty and corrupt politicians, so much so that the feds are interested.

One detective is in trouble for something he did while off the clock? Stop the presses. While that is unfortunate, it is NOT an indictment of the entire police department.

No...no...those CIETEC people just made a few mistakes. There wasn't any corruption there - these people are all saints!
