The future of Florida State star wide receiver and Heisman hopeful Peter Warrick, who recently was charged with shoplifting, remains uncertain. But one thing that is almost certain, however, is that Warrick probably will not suit up for Saturday's "Battle of the Bowdens" when the Seminoles play at Clemson.
Yesterday, for the second day in a row, Warrick received a court postponement on a plea agreement related to a Sept. 29 incident at a Tallahassee department store, in which he and fellow FSU wide receiver Laveranues Coles allegedly paid $21 for clothing costing $412. Coles was dismissed from the team, and Warrick's lawyer has said he wants to make sure his client won't face the same fate should he accept the plea agreement.
Warrick is set to return to court Nov. 4, but if both parties can reach an agreement, he would be able to return to the team even earlier. He already has missed two games this season.
Warrick's future now apparently lies in the hands of Florida State president Sandy D'Alemberte, who has the authority to decide whether Warrick can return to the gridiron based on the conditions set forth in the plea agreement. The agreement that had been reached this week would allow Warrick to return to the team, but stipulated that he must spend 30 days in jail after the semester.
While college football fans await his return, Warrick continues to practice with the top-ranked Seminoles.
DeOrio shocks Deacons with exit
Wake Forest sophomore linebacker Mark DeOrio decided Wednesday to leave the Demon Deacons' football team, citing personal reasons.
The announcement came as a surprise, since DeOrio had started each of Wake Forest's first six games, contributing 15 tackles and breaking up two passes.
Abdul Guice, who started every game last season and compiled 71 tackles, suffered a preseason knee injury that kept him out of action so far this year, will fill the hole in the Deacon defense.
Tiger baseball on the prowl
Clemson baseball's 1999 incoming class was dubbed tops in the nation yesterday by Baseball America. The Tigers' 18-player recruiting class strengthens a squad that lost only one player from last year's roster to the big leagues.
In a related story, Clemson centerfielder Patrick Boyd was ranked by Baseball America as one of the top-five college prospects for 2000. Boyd batted .390 last year with 17 home runs and 70 RBI. He was joined in the elite group by North Carolina outfielder Tyrell Godwin, who led the Tar Heels last year in batting, stolen bases, triples and base hits.
