Four Hofstra University basketball players were arrested on burglary charges stemming from dormitory room break-ins, police said Friday.

Detectives said the players were charged in six burglaries that occurred between Oct. 4 and Nov. 5, but they suspect there have been numerous other thefts starting at the beginning of the semester.

Here are the looting thugs:

Kentrell Washington, 18, of Las Vegas; Jimmy Hall, 18, of Brooklyn; Dallas Anglin, 18, of Montclair, N.J.; and Shaquille Stokes, 20, of Manhattan.

Hall, a freshman, is the team's No. 2 scorer. He and Stokes, a sophomore transfer from the University of Hawaii, started in six of the team's seven games this season. Washington and Anglin, both freshmen, have seen regular playing time off the bench. All four players are on athletic scholarships.

As soon as I saw the words “basketball” and “burglaries”, something just clicked in my mind.

Yep, that was it.

[SharpRightTurn]

These days college basketball coaches spend half of their time coaching and half bailing their players out of jail.

Shocked I tell you, why the two on each end look like fine young scholars pursuing academic excellence.
What, oh what, could have led them astray?
Perhaps falling in with the wrong crowd.

How's that for masking what I'm really thinking :^)
