"All I can say is I would be very careful how I would link Freddie Roach's name to that story," Alabama media relations director Larry White said Monday night. Roach, a two-year starter from nearby Killen, is one of three scholarship players from the Shoals area, along with his brother William and Courtland linebacker Earnest Nance. The person stated he was a football player and we have reason to believe now that he was a player, Aycock said. Aycock would not confirm the identity of the player under investigation, nor would White confirm anything Roach said in Monday afternoon meetings with coaches until charges are filed. Unless and until that happens, its premature to comment on it, White said. Nothing has formally happened other than rumors, and its hard to make a statement about rumors. Were aware of the reports. I would think they (coaches) have already visited (the player in question) about this issue. White said it was possible Roach would address the media on the issue today as well.
<This is really starting to not sound good, especially if Roach does speak to the press.> ______________________________________________________ RollTideFan - The University of Alabama Athletics Discussion List Welcome to RollTideFan!
