Could we possibly see Starks back?
The dude was just getting going in 2019.
Hopefully, he's learned and matured since his unfortunate dismissal from the Ed O program.

What would he have? One season to go back to a position he played three seasons ago and didn’t want to play? Pass.

When Starks transferred, it was widely reported that he wanted to play safety and O wisely wanted to keep him as a rush linebacker.

You're thinking of Marcel Brooks.

F me, you are absolutely right. Was Starks the one booted for the armed robbery or something like that?

Possession of an illegal firearm.
Pretty sure he's been in JUCO.
Seems like he's grown up and hopefully learned from his mistake.

Oh yeah definitely no way between now and September he could possibly get conditioned and learn the defense well enough to contribute for us when we have zero DEPTH on the DEPTH CHART. Freaking 4 star linebacker wants back in the team when we need bodies more than ever and you scoff at the mere notion of it. Idiot.

Anyways. Come on back, Donte!! Those among us possessing an IQ higher than room temperature welcome you back with open arms!!
Ball out and BTFU!

Saw him play in HS when he played at Biloxi. He was like a heat seeking missile. All over the field blowing people up.

I hope for his sake that he has and nothing personal when I say this but if you’re Kelly and you’re trying to rebuild the culture by getting rid of guys who are late to workouts and meetings you can’t really take a guy who has a firearms and evading the police charge on his record.

Two years from now Kelly may be able to make that situation work but unfortunately I don’t think this is the time or place for Starks.

Times change people change this kid coming from a rough part of town he really could have gone south and given up. Trust me Kelly will not have all HOLY Rollers on a team.

Seems like a guy who made some mistakes and is doing everything he can to be a part of this program. Sounds like a take to me. We want guys who want to be here.

There's an article out on him now. He was setup by his own friends. He was kicked off because of grades which he's accepted full responsibility for. At the end of the day it sounds like he's turned into a man.
