Lawrence's blood-alcohol level was over the .08 limit -- the exact level not known -- and was charged with driving while intoxicated. Not only that, but Lawrence was driving with a suspended license and had two traffic warrants outstanding. The accident occurred after 3AM Monday morning.
Head coach Bobby Gonzalez suspended Lawrence, who was expected to play this season after transferring from Missouri, indefinitely.
Somehow, Lawrence claims to be as ignorant of the DWI charge and anything other than being in an accident.
Lawrence transferred from Missouri and sat out last season. He has been seen as a talented player, but with character issues that caused a conflict in Missouri. This action, along with the suspended license only gives credence to the character perception.Reached on his cellphone late Monday, he acknowledged that he had been in an accident early Monday, but denied that he had been charged with driving while intoxicated.
"They didn't tell me that, and they didn't tell my mother that, either," he said. "I was in an accident. That's about it."
Seton Hall was widely believed to be a potential "dark horse" team in the Big East. They had added some depth and talent with transfers like Lawrence and Herb Pope from New Mexico State. The question was whether the character issues with both and some of the other players would sabotage this team. The early returns indicate that the team are not looking favorable for the talent trumping character.

Why can't the Hall go out and get quality players to be a good Big East Team. It's a great school and any kid would be glad to have a Hall degree.
If they can't they should get out of D 1 and play agains NYU and CCNY in D 3
THERE ARE PLENTY BIG SIZED TROUBLE FREE KIDS WHO WOULD LOVE TO PLAY FOR SETON HALL AND GET A DEGREE THERE TOO. WE DONT NEED TROUBLE MAKERS, SHOWOFFS,HEADCASES AND DRUNKS.
