    "porential"? Is that a cross between potential and torrential? Does this relationship have a chance to be stormy?

    Those reports are disappointing. Hopefully he comes to his senses.

    Maybe he’s destined to be a sorry lying cheating nole like his old coach. Slimetime.

    Fool me twice….

    Cut him loose now and focus on the guys who want to be Florida Gators

    A team full of Slimetimes would definitely have a better record than 5-7

    You obviously don’t remember his tackling. Probably not a great blocker either

    I remember him being a legendary Hall of Fame level player with insane work ethic. Give me 11 of those on the field any day of the week.

    He was a good tackler. That's a take by a casual.

    Recommendation: The report does not look good. Agreed.
    Perhaps a wee bit of patience before releasing the guillotine?

    Outside of that report what do we really know? Kid is getting paid, yes, I understand that, but, he's still a kid (IMO).
    It did not work out in Colorado. He went from the most celebrated defensive player in the rankings to a paid walk on deal,
    with plenty of bad press.

    The kid probably can't drink a non-alcholic beer without the lynch mob ready to pounce.

    Perhaps we should go with what the staff decides in his case. I have no clue how the staff is handling the young man.
    Apparantly they are not ready to cut him loose. That may change tomorrow. I don't know.

    If what I believe is correct, he may be experiencing a tough and scrutinized route to participation and of course winning the
    "trust" of the staff to get on the field.

    I am no supporter of CM in terms of his past actions with UF or Colorado. But clearly the young man has skills that are desirable and
    that could potentially launch him into an NFL career or at the very least an education. (Should he choose to utilize that).

    Someone posted UF has 21 DB's on the team. The Gators will be fine with or without him. I do think that Coach Napier and the
    locker room environment coach has created, may give CM a shot to flourish once he learns discipline. I may be wrong as rain of course, but
    the staff deserves the opportunity to see if they can work with the kid and turn it around.

    Some people are just fine with having Jameis Winston instead of Tim Tebow

    Not sure what any of this has to do with Cormani McClain and the Gators, but okay!

    Carmani has been making an idiot of himself And might find his team shortly if he cannot fix his attitude. Class integrity and accountability need to be combined with talent. This kid thinks his shit doesn’t stink.
