Most colleges, not just LSU, don't know everything about their athletes

Cumming, Georgia is a growing town about 40 miles northwest of Atlanta with an estimated population of approximately more than 6,000.

But what happens in Cumming - like a Jan. 8 burglary involving a local pawn shop and 12 stolen guns and then arrests finally made almost five months later - stays in Cumming.

The coconut telegraph revealing the news of the May arrest of LSU sophomore linebacker Tyler Taylor didn't reach the desk of Tigers' coach Ed Orgeron until Wednesday after a report by The Advocate revealed Taylor's alleged role in a smash-and-grab burglary.

Though the Forsyth County Clerk's Office said Taylor, 19, hasn't been charged by the district attorney's office and a court date hasn't been set, Orgeron immediately suspended Taylor indefinitely.
