Clemson University police arrest two students
Clemson University police arrested two students on drug-related charges early Friday.
Samuel B. Watkins IV, 18, a freshman communication studies major from Fort Myers, Fla., and member of the football team, was charged with possession of a controlled substance and simple possession of marijuana, both misdemeanors.
Amadou-Tidiane Daniel Dia, 18, a freshman in parks, recreation and tourism management from Highlands Ranch, Colo., and member of the men’s soccer team, was charged with simple possession of marijuana.
The men were arrested when police stopped the car Watkins was driving after an officer saw it scrape against a curb on campus and because the temporary license tag was not illuminated. When the officer pulled the car over in a parking lot off Commons Court, he smelled marijuana. During a search he found marijuana and two pills for which Watkins did not have a prescription.
The men were arrested and taken to the Clemson City Jail. Watkins was released Friday morning on a $1,620 personal recognizance bond, and Dia was released on a $620 personal recognizance bond.

It is an '08 caddilac. No lie. Evidently, one of brad scott's buddies owns a caddy dealership.

No wonder Dumbo doesn't want colleges paying extra money to players. Looks like his players might have plenty already.

Friends don't let friends go to Clemson.
What is Sammy thinking you don't have to drive around to get high? You are in college now. #maddumb

He was demonstrating the work ethic Coach Dabo has provided to him. The Strength & Conditioning coach probably had that on Sammy's list. It's all about a good and honest staff. Seems Sammy is doing workouts and studying film to prevent dropping a few more passes in our game next year. He's reliable.

Watkins mother is prolly beating him silly. It has to cost you NFL money when you screw up like this. Any word on what kind of pills?

Somewhere Derek Watson is laughing! Cars and MaryJane just don't add up to an NFL career for some.

As a parent I feel for Sammy, but not so much for all the CU fans that blasted Garcia and STILL are saying that Clemson will not make the mistake of letting him get out of and it go on and on like USC and Spurrier did with Garcia. I doubt if Sammy would have been stopped had he not just got the Escalade---the campus police would have known it was his. However, I couldn't help but laugh at breakfast when I thought, Suddenly things are making a lot of sense. When he said that Clemson would have won the game had he not dropped the pass, I recall thinking, "what is he smoking"?...NOW WE ALL KNOW the answer!!!!
Seriously, where did poor Sammy get the $ not only for the Escalade, but the tax/insurance and gas money? My kids couldn't have swung that deal even with me supporting them.

He just had a couple. Some kind of pain killer / narcotics. Legal if he had a prescription, but not if he didn't. He didn't.
Bottom line is he is only 18 and will get community time, and not miss a beat as far as Clempsin football. But he’s only two years from the draft and don’t think scouts aren’t taking notes. Bellamy was caught smoking just prior to a game. Makes you wonder if Dropkins missed that ball last year for the same reason. Make sense? Sounds impossible? It’s just stupid is as stupid does. Only a thought, not an accusation. But it gets you thinking.
Also, Bellamy and Watkins were both accused of accepting 75K in cash by Florida State. When you buy players … you buy bad character. Bellamy proved that early. Watkins stepped up and showed he could also cause the good players with ethics and principals on Clemson’s team to say to themselves; what did I buy into to?
Dabby has a dilemma, but heck he’s had one since day one. Let’s hope he looks the other way and continues to build his resume. That being said, even SOS would say I’ll make a decision when the facts are in. Unlike Dabby, he wouldn’t say there will be consequences to pay … unless he knew the player was guilty. But let’s face it. Dabo isn’t the sharpest tool in the shed.
Respectfully Submitted,
Davy
