03:02 PM ET 01.21 | Virginia football recruit Taquan Mizzell, considered one of the best running backs in the country, was arrested while on his official visit to the school

Mizzell was arrested in Charlottesville for underage possession of alcohol after a police officer saw him kicking a passing car. He'll face misdemeanor charges for the alleged crime. The running back from Virginia Beach is the best player in Mike London's class and the first five-star recruit Virginia has landed since 2005.

Ok... Let's see if I've got this straight... Kid's a 5* RB recruit on an official visit to UVA. At some hour while in Charlottesville, he is provided alchohol or finds a way to obtain some. While he's under the influence, he does something stupid - kicking a moving car - in sight of the police (doubling down on stupid)...

And, UVA is going to offer him the scholly anyway? Does anyone think that the kid's going to "behave" during his matriculation? Anyone care to provide odds that he will not only be trouble but a bad influence on others as well? What're the odds on the flip side - that he got caught doing something uncharacteristic and will be a great athlete, good student, and bring accolades to his university?

At least it wasn't multiple charges, including assault, like JFF last year

Your brothers yell "its a bust", you drop everything and discreetly walk away.
I should start me own class on how to party in college without getting busted.
Fortune awaits!!
