No.

Its not his decision anyway. Its a school wide rule that the Athletic Department removed him from the team for. Even if Les doesn't directly say it, a return this season isn't even possible. I'm not even sure that a return next year is possible


They could absolutely reinstate him if they see fit. I mean, wtf else would he be at lsu? I mean really, he is trying to get back on the team, and someone somewhere told him he had a shot if he did x,y,z or he would have definitely gone somewhere where he could train and play, move on to the league

This is what I am thinking. He failed internal drug tests and got kicked off the team. They expected him to move on, but he surprised them and re-enrolled in school and is paying his own way. If he does all he is supposed to, is paying his own way, and if the team votes him back on, why not bring him back halfway through the season? He would have been severely punished - losing his scholarship, his starting role, and half his season. If he came back for the end, he can then go pro.

Why not?

Again, I am not saying it will happen. But, it seems plausible. Team standards are upheld and TM7 gets to contribute.

I think he'll be back on the team next year, if he stays clean all year. Don't think he would be at LSU otherwise. It's not like the kid is giving up football.

I'm guessing the "wearing red" comment was in reference to a gang. I wear red and am in no way affiliated with a gang. Millions of people wear red every day that aren't affiliated with a gang. Is it just because he's a young black man that happened to grow up rough and likes to smoke a little reefer on the side? 99% of this gang bullshite is meaningless anyway. I see kids of all colors, every day, claiming "Blood Gang all day". They have absolutely no clue as to what the hell they're referencing. It comes from the music they listen to(not a fight against rap; I'm a rap fan) and the jokes of artists that claim the same thing. Most of which would shite their pants if actually faced with real gang issues. In closing, don't typecast a kid because of how he looks. It makes you more of an idiot than the idiots you're disparaging.
