Looks like he got a DUI early Sunday morning.

People make mistakes. Some people make a lot. There are a few down the Bitterroot who are on their 5th or 15th DUI. Jedkins made one here. Here is hoping that he learns from his mistake.

I haven't the slightest clue how the program will deal with it, but it falls under the uniform guidelines the athletic department created about 10-15 years ago. What type of disciplinary measures might be issued aren't going to be handled until whatever legal proceedings run their course. Can DeCuire levy a punishment before hand? I think so for violation of team rules and such.

Most importantly the only thing that appears injured in this situation is Jedkins pocket book, legal record and his standing among his peers, teammates and coaching staff. Regardless of the scenario of what led to Jedkins arrest on a DUI, it should again serve as a reminder to not get behind the wheel when you are under the influence. Just call someone.

Thank you for attending my PSA.

Agreed, 24. I’m assuming his punishment will be along the same lines as Conner Dick. Gads, I really wish we didn’t already have a recent example to base this off of.

From several decades covering men's basketball, one of the foundational -- and least understood by the public -- principles of every coach (except one) I observed, was how invested in the lives, past, present and (likely) future Montana coaches have made in their players. Point one: every player knows, before committing, the basic "contract" they sign with the program. The consequences of any kind of "violation" are clear. Point two: I'm pretty certain this issue has already been made clear to the player (and the team). I sure hope Jedkins remains with the team... in fact, the final decision is probably his to make. Montana coaches have always been "much more than a coach" with their players: it's what has made this such a remarkable men's collegiate basketball program since Jud (the first coach I interviewed).
