    Apparently only on campus for two days. Makes you wonder if UF just didn't think he would be a good fit. JUst saying.

    It looks like he may have issues. We may have dodged a bullet.

    From what I hear he absolutely does have issues and we dodged a bullet in the sense he may have contributed some but definitely would have been gone quickly. Wish him the best but he needs to get some stuff figured out.

    Lol... ya think? Just kidding. Laughing with you... He seems like trouble, for sure. And yes, we might have just dodged a bullet.

    How someone so talented and so close to attaining generational NFL (or NIL) money be so incredibly far from achieving his goal. You have to be some world class dumbass to not be able to screw your head on straight for 24 months. What a total idiot.

    Perhaps he's not an idiot but he's mentally ill. Mental illnesses are life destroyers for sure.

    Fair point Tarpon. Many of today’s kids either don’t have adults around that care enough to get them help, or have adults that themselves cannot recognize abnormal behavior. This may just be a sad case where no one is spending enough time to know the kid needs help. Red flags are certainly there.

    Plenty of adults encourage this behavior too.

    What do you call a governing oversite body that does NOT govern or do any oversite? Totally unnecessary and expensive... with NO reason at all to exist. The NCAA is now such a body...

    Plenty of adults, especially those with lesser resources, suffer from undiagnosed and/or untreated mental health conditions as well. So I don’t think it should be all that surprising to find adults encouraging abnormal and self-destructive behaviors.
