ESPN has reported that Josh Gordon, a junior receiver who has left the Baylor program, possibly could be transferring to Utah, however, no offer has been extended to him from Utah. The Utes are interested in Gordon, but are looking into his situation, which sounds like a messy one. Gordon, a 6-foot-4, 220-pounder who was the Bears' second-leading receiver in 2010, was suspended indefinitely before preseason camp began. He was arrested last October after being found in a car that had marijuana inside it. Utah's coaches will examine thoroughly Gordon's situation before making any kind of decision. Here is the question I have for you, do you want to see the Utes bring aboard a player with a history such as Gordon's? Already the Utes have several who have had run-ins with the law, which led to Utah being one of the teams discussed in a Sports Illustrated article about the number of players who have criminal records on Top 25 teams. (You can see the background on that story here.) What do you think, would you take a risk with Gordon and bring him aboard?
