LaceDarius Dunn suspended from campus

Another turn of the page in the LaceDarius Dunn saga.

As you know, Dunn turned himself into police on October 5th after a warrant was issued for his arrest stemming from a September 27th incident in which Dunn broke his the jaw of his girlfriend, Lacharlesia Edwards, by striking her in the face.

The accounts of that day have differed. Dunn hasn't released a statement, but his girlfriend's father said that what happened was an accident, while Edwards herself said the same. Her attorney also had a comment on the matter, saying that Dunn only punched her once, not three or four times.

The latest? Baylor announced yesterday that Dunn would be suspended from campus, including all classes, until the resolution of this case. Missing that much class time obviously won't be good for Dunn academically, but it is school policy to ban any student facing a felony charge.

To his credit, Bears head coach Scott Drew is preparing for the season as if Dunn will be playing:

"I'm not going to speculate on any of that because there's no reason to," said Drew, who was in Dallas to announce Baylor's inclusion in a December doubleheader at American Airlines Center, home of the Mavericks. "That's why we have a process set in place and we wait, and at that point, we'll see what happens."

In all likelihood, Dunn will end up playing this year, although he will undoubtedly face some kind of suspension. Four games is the guess I have seen most often.
