After being suspended for Saturday’s game. Right on cue......I’m all for players having the ability to just up & leave. I also don’t like when a player just decides to up & leave.

Come on man. I am feeling like maybe some of these kids should maybe take a better look and be honest with themselves about their school of choice.

Not sure this is a great loss, but it is a sign of the times. I wish parents and high school coaches would do a better job advising their sons on where to attend and play college football.

Having never been involved with D1 recruiting, I'd bet these young men are told by everyone in their lives that they walk on water and get to make their own rules.
The recruiter probably plays to that in the recruitment process.
Then reality hits him when his arrives in Tuscaloosa.
"You are not the greatest athlete ever to don a helmet. And you don't get to skip class. You are part of the Process."
Some adjust. Some do not.
I wish him well in his next stop.
Next man up.

He was neither encouraged nor asked to leave. I will say that he’s had the same challenges that SOME freshman STUDENTS have when they go off to college in a state that’s a decent drive from home distance wise.

The going to class thing....that’s very easily correctable by just....you know...going to class.

He is an undeniable talent at DB, and if he can bring it all together will probably find himself on someone’s Thorpe Award ballot before he graduates.

But as with many freshman that come to college, there is a maturation process that has to take place. Some handle it better than others. I wish him well.

Well, if his problem is that simple, I really don't wish him well. Sounds petty, but I am getting tired of these guys acting like petulant children. I hope he fails miserably so he can learn from it.

Man, I so much "get this." I've had a crappy, job-related day that revolves around students this same age.

I'm assuming this means that he has officially left the team. Would that be correct? (of course, why would you waste practice time on a guy that's leaving).
