Florida is going to be garbage next year and he probably realized that.

Florida sold him on being the next Kyle Pitts but forgot to tell him he couldn’t play until 2022.

my only complaint is that he didn’t seem to be that good.
That's fine if you think so but if you can't see the beast he is yet to become, don't know what to tell you.
If he keeps his head straight of course.

I have long been an advocate of just letting this guy go. If he has issues I hope he works them out, but I want what’s best for the team and we were more than fine without him last year. No one is bigger than the program.

I'm a sucker for redemption stories. I'd love to have him back and see him get straightened out.



agree

Bring him back and shut him down...give him all the help you can.

Why do you feel bad for him??? I don't get it. A kid has everything going for him and he doesn't know what the word commitment means. Sounds .like his upbringing didn't teach ethics and hard work.

Do you have children? Do you understand the concept of mental illness? This kid is 18/19 years old. Get over yourself and cut him some slack and wish him luck. I hope for nothing but the best for him - his own health first.

Not advocating for him to necessarily return to LSU, but I am curious as whether he would have to be counted against our 21 total of 25 for the year. Why wouldn't he just continue to be part of the existing team since he really never left. I'm sure there is some rule not allowing that but never heard anything said about that possibility.

He bailed on his last semester of classes so I’m sure academic eligibility will be an issue no matter where he goes, minus JUCO
