Former UW-Madison basketball recruit Jeremy Glover pleaded guilty Thursday to burglarizing a campus dorm room with a fellow recruit and was placed in a first offenders program.

Glover, 18, a walk-on from Haymarket, Va., admitted to taking items, including small electronics and cash, from a dorm room at Sellery Hall on Sept. 6. Diamond K. Taylor, 18, of Bolingbrook, Ill., also pleaded guilty to a burglary charge earlier this month and was placed in a first offenders program.

Taylor's plea involved a burglary earlier that night at Evans Scholars, a private dormitory on Langdon Street. According to a criminal complaint, Taylor told police that both men had been drinking before the burglaries.

Dane County Circuit Judge Sarah O'Brien withheld a conviction on Glover's guilty plea. He now will have to follow the rules of the district attorney's First Offenders Program for a specified period of time. If he completes the program, the burglary charge would be dismissed. If he fails to follow the rules set for him by the program, he could be ordered back to court for sentencing on his guilty plea.

Glover left the basketball team but remains a student at UW-Madison. Taylor left the school and has enrolled at Southern Illinois University, where he joined the men's basketball team.
