Mike Leach signs a recruit who pled to a misdemeanor charge of assault against a 15 year old girl, reduced from an initial charge of felony aggravated rape in juvenile court. Leach's defense:

"I don't know a great deal about it, but if you cut off everybody who's had a misdemeanor, we'd be short of players," Leach said. "For any team, that would be difficult."

What Mike Leach means to say is: real buccaneers don't check ID, matey! YARRRR!!!
