When the day comes that Maurice Clarett can be released from prison 3½ years from now, the former Ohio State football star's life story will hardly have been told in full.
If his lockup ends on the earliest possible date, Clarett, who struck an unexpected plea deal Monday for robbery and concealed weapons charges, will be all of 26 years old. His 8-week-old daughter, who was present for his sentencing, will not yet have turned 4.
"I'd like to apologize for my behavior, and I accept the time that was given to me," Clarett said Monday."It's in a range that will allow him to get his life back together after his release," Prosecutor Ron O'Brien said.
Judge David Fais announced the agreement on the day Clarett's aggravated robbery trial was to begin. He was sentenced to 7½ years with release possible after 3½ years, and five years of probation.

A lot of talent and then he got a big head, tried to go pro, got rebuffed and got cut from the NFL when he finally did get a chance.
Is this guy ever gonna get it?!
Opinions or comments - anyone?
That's o.k. We don't need him anymore. The OSU Buckeyes are interested in another criminal who is playing high school football. Just win baby!
He had a big head when he was at Warren Harding in hugh school. He didn't even run out with the team. When they piled up before the game, he just stood around. None uh dat team spirit $hit fo him!
Pack your toothbrush, KY Jelly and SierraTangoFoxtrotUniform!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Raiders will still need help in 4 years.....
He's typical of Tressell's OSU thugs.
I mean, he could easily have gone to U Miami.
"Who said that?"
LOL!
But I don't get it:>
Not true. WTF makes you say something that uninformed?
What's the odds of that?
He'll end up doing the full 7 1/2.
What's there to get....
Still don't get it.....but I like it.
How can anyone be so stupid?
I assume you have the facts to back up your statement.
Yes, it was in the USA today...The author was a female by the name of Brennan. I also saw it in the Washington Post.
And you believe that? ;-)
Apparently, the young man said Ohio State is recruiting him; however, OSU says no. The University is not permitted to talk about potential recruits, but did issue a press release that clearly stated they do not recruit such players.
Maurice Clarett
Who?
Just another thug.
Scrape him off.
Zarf-
I don't mind the little video you provided on your post.
But I don't understand its connection with this thread.
Or doesn't it matter?!
Seriously?
I didn't know that. I follow Big Ten football (Univ of Mn alumni) but didn't really know much about Clarett until about halfway thru his freshman year.
