Lovick suspended indefinitely

South Carolina shortstop Tanner Lovick was arrested on Saturday night and has been suspended from the baseball team.

Lovick was arrested on Saturday night in Five Points for but an arrest report has not yet been made available. South Carolina head coach Ray Tanner has suspended Lovick indefinitely.

Freshman Joey Pankake won the shortstop job over Lovick during the fall, but the junior college transfer was the backup at the position. Other backups at the position are T.J. Costen and Connor Bright.

Lovick is a scholarship player and will automatically count to the final roster whether he is kept on the team due to his arrest or not.

It was once a crowded middle infield but, the numbers are starting to thin. Scholarship middle infielder Mikal Hill transferred in search of a better opportunity to play, as did walk-on Jake Watson. Junior college infielder Casey Smit didn’t make it to fall practice before he was arrested on DUI charges and was no longer invited to walk on.

Coming out of the fall, junior college transfer Chase Vergason is the projected starter at second base. Costen and Bright will back up that position as well. Junior college transfer LB Dantzler is the projected starter at third base.

Can we make 5 points off limits? There is nothing good that can happen there.

I practically LIVED in 5 Points for damn near 10 years and never got arrested, got a ticket, got in a fight, etc. I got hammered. A LOT. You can stay out of trouble if you've got a half a lick of sense.

Is that even against the law? Is he 21? If he wasn't intoxicated then what is the big deal - you could arrest 70,000 for the same offense every football game.
Police have much more important things to worry about!
Yeah but apparently not in Cola. SC. seems like USC atheletes have a bullseye on them.

If he's over 21, this is beyond minor. In fact, I didn't even know drinking liquor in public was illegal. Is drinking beer in public illegal as well? Or is it just against the law to drink alcohol on the sidewalk or on a city street?

This. My 18 yr, old was ticketed a few yrs. ago at a USC football game. The SLED agent was simply trying to make a quota we later discovered.

Not a serious charge. If the young man feels that he's been unjustly accused I encourage him to contest it. I hope that the matter is resolved in short order so he can participate in team-related activities.

Ain't no such thing as a non serious charge regarding Ray Tanner. This kid apparently doesn't know Ray's history with players getting their names in the news for the wrong reasons.

When I was an 18 year old freshman, we use to haul kegs in through the front door at Bates House with hand trucks we borrowed from the staff and take them right up the main elevator. My sophomore year they made you start "registering" keg parties.
My freshman hall advisor, who worked in the president's office, gave us instructions at our first official hall meeting on how to smoke pot in our rooms without getting caught .
Men were men and sheep were nervous LOL!

Come on, taking your drink with you? Know better than that.
I have been out of the drinking seen for a long time and I am not sure I would have realized taking my drink outside was against the law-especially if it was in a cup. I know open container in an automobile is against the law but an open container (a drink in a cup-not a beer can) walking down the sidewalk??? Really? Really?!?!?

In today's paper, the 21 year old man, (not a kid) was hammered.... Falling down drunk.
He should have been arrested and he should be suspended. If Ray let's him out of the dog house in the future, he will not have any more chances and should not have any more.
The same with the football player. next time, he should be gone also.
