TUCSON, Ariz. - A freshman defensive lineman has been indefinitely suspended from the Arizona team after his second arrest on marijuana possession charges.

Yaniv Barnett, 18, did not attend Wednesday's practice and is suspended indefinitely for violating team rules, said coach Mike Stoops.

He was arrested Monday with three other students by university police on suspicion of marijuana possession outside Arizona Stadium, according to a police report.

Sgt. Eugene Mejia, a university police spokesman, said Monday's arrest was Barnett's second on marijuana possession since September, but he had no further details on the first incident.

Barnett, of Cibolo, Texas, had four tackles in three games so far this season at defensive tackle for the Wildcats.

not important...Justin Barnett almost got a call from me..... This means nothing to the Mean Green Nation...He isn't a player here...therefore NOT an issue!

[GreenBat]

Who knows, maybe a little herb can make Barnett a player?

JB should be able to play for real this year now that he's had his surgery.

I also thought this was gonna be about JUSTIN Barnett. I was about to call him and tell him he made the board. But he'd already know that since he reads this.

Justin Barnett clarifies that HE was not arrested for marijuana possesion. You heard it first on the Small Time Sports Show.

Hahahahahahha!

With the dirt (disclosed or not) that a few of our players have accumulated over the last couple of years, I think that it's wise to leave other schools problems to the other schools. As soon as we're squeaky clean we can start complaining about every screwup around the country.

I can't believe it! A college student smoking weed! Why, I never... The next thing you know they'll be cutting class.
