What part of 'No!' didn't you understand?

Nothing might be written in stone — this side of the Ten Commandments — but the following could be written in, say, plexiglass?

“Thou shalt not recruit to your college a player who attended five high schools.”

Despite his checkered prep academic career, UConn recruited Nate Miles to play basketball.

But it turns out he won’t be doing that.

On Sept. 22, the 20-year-old was served with a restraining order after a woman claimed Miles had attempted to force her to have sex with him.

Twenty minutes later, Miles reportedly violated that order by calling the woman — possibly a record for quickest disregard of a restraining order.

UConn has now expelled the 6-foot-7 player.

Of course, if he's talented enough for UConn to recruit him in the first place, chances are Miles will soon have second college to add to his academic résumé.
