Does anybody else think calling these kids p**sy and b**ches is a lil overboard? I understand the feeling of betrayal but at the end of the day these kids have to do what they feel is best for their family/situation.

I love blaming the “kids” instead of the coaches and administrators.

Are you saying it's okay for kids to give you their word when they commit here and then not honor that commitment, or quit on their team when things start getting tough??

Please tell me in what world it should be perfectly fine to do that? If you give someone your word on something you should be expected to keep it, or face criticism if you don't.

Because it's a sport? Its entertainment. Its not that important in the grand scale of things.

Your fandom don't mean shite.

Good bye Felicia is all I got for that quitter. He sounded like a diva in the locker room and we went 2-0 without him. Tiger BAIT

Why blame anyone. He made a decision. It didn't work out.
Covid was rough on a lot of people.

So quitting in the middle of a season and then lying about being home sick is the "best thing for his family"?

2021, ladies and gentlemen.

So using your logic becoming someone who doesn't honor their word,since it's a sport must not affect keeping your word in other areas of life, yeah okay...

We don't need any more apologists, if you don't keep your word in any aspect of life you should be held accountable for it or face the consequences of that decision.

Every decision you make good or bad is more important later on down the road than you may realize at the time you made that decision. It's something everyone needs to learn to deal with whether you play a sport or not.

I don’t think moving 350 from home is the cure for “home sickness”. His actions of going to Florida instead of a school close to home invite skepticism of his “home sickness” excuse.

Marietta, Ga to Gainesville, Fl is a 5 hour and 5 minute drive.

That's not close to home.

So you saying the coaches and Admin lied to the kid?

Does anyone really know why he's opted to leave? If it's anything to with LSU being tighter than other schools regarding weed... then there's the door.

About as overboard as Ryan Clark posting pics of a 16 yr old girl that used the N Word? Hard to feel sorry for 18 yr old man quitting on his team.

I don't see much raging, just people acknowledging it is what it is: a Charmin soft quitter who can't keep his excuses straight.

Lmfao these kids do not owe you a damn thing. Imagine whining all day on a message board like this but trying to call someone *else* a baby. This is legitimately embarrassing for you.

I don't approve dogging on the guy but since when is 18 years old still being considered a kid? That's what is wrong with this generation for sure.

I think any "adult" who gets worked up over where a high school/college kid decides to play ball needs to re-evaluate their priorities in life.

Only exception is if you're a coach of said team the kid may have reversed his/her decision with.

So yes, if you're on Tigerdroppings, Twitter, Facebook bashing said kid, you may want to take some time off.
