The former top-10 recruit, who hasn’t played in a game since 2022, took part in spring ball at Savannah.

Happy for Arik to find a home. He was on a horrible path to tragedy. Seems to have cleaned up his act. Wish dude the best!

I wish him the best too. I thought he went to prison, but apparently I thought wrong.

Hiw do you know he cleaned up his act? Just because a team took him? Seems far fetched and I'm not pulling g against him but........the path has defi ktely been clear

So much damn talent wasted

The guy was down bad. May have cleaned up his act, maybe not. But if he has and is being given an opportunity to turn his life around, that is certainly something to be celebrated

Not saying he hasnt....but no reason to think he has either. Hey, I am all for turning your life around....if you are serious about doing it.

if he truly turned it around, he’d have been picked up by a major program.

Sadly, it’s very hard to beat schizophrenia. That’s what his issue is, from a friend of mine whose son knows Arik.

Pardon the ignorance, but has he ever produced anything near his HS hype?

People in the media just SUCK. Why not use a pic of the last team he played for. There kids that started school at LSU when he and have already graduated.... so a picture of him making a catch at LSU is ridiculous.

Where are you getting this from? Surely not from the mere fact he's in spring practice.
