Perhaps Nick Saban's message fell on deaf ears.

A day after the arrests of Cam Robinson and Hootie Jones, Saban revealed the warnings he shares with each player in his program.

"One thing I always tell players - there are three bad things: Nothing good happens after midnight, nothing good happens when you're around guns unless you're going hunting, and you don't want to mess around with women you don't know because a lot of times bad things happen," Saban said Wednesday, according to Marq Burnett of SEC Country. "In this case, a couple of those things were violated. I think it's going to be a learning experience for everybody on our team."

Robinson, Alabama's star left tackle, was arrested Tuesday on a felony weapons charge and a misdemeanor drug charge. He's alleged to have stolen one of the firearms discovered by police in the incident.

Jones, a defensive back, was slapped with misdemeanors for possession of a controlled substance, and illegally carrying a weapon in the presence of narcotics. The charges against both players stem from the same incident.

As for potential internal discipline for Robinson and Jones, Saban reiterated what he stated Tuesday, saying he'll wait to gather more information about the incident before deciding what action comes next.
