Gabe Terry arrested...

That why it tough recruiting the guys with questionable characters because it hurts the team big time when they f up. Paul, EJ, and now Terry leaves are LBing group pretty thin.
 
I wonder if we'll consider Cain at linebacker again. We have no one else for depth and he's a super JAG at end.

What a dumb f#ck... Some of these kids are so god **** stupid it's incredible.

Also, this is the first I've heard Terry's name all spring... Buhbye!
 
considering that brown started last year and is the projected starter at the will. and burgess is his backup on the two deep. northrup is on the two deep at fsu..and terry, ej, paul, and witt wont contribute to miami that the lb's we lost to other schools are better than the ones commited to us

keith brown was a freshman all american by fox sports last yr ...logged alot of time for the ville.
but his situation was a package i understand..

I seriously wasnt ecstatic about our lb situation before the spring(without ej) and im definately not now....Our backups all have serious limitations...with a majority of them being light in the ***.(Cornelius,Blue,Grace) If Terry is indeed gone..we might really need to move Cain back (i think he did moe back) or bring in another late signee at lb.

You guys still talking 10 wins with this lack of defensive depth? Not a chance.

At LB anyway is it essential to be able to dip into the third string to win 10 games? If Bonds productive we should be okay there.

Figueroa/McCord/Bond
Kirby/Gaines/Blue
Perryman/Bond/Armbrister/Cornileus

It's unfortunate that the kid seems to be following in his parent's footsteps

http://pbgametime.com/news/future-miami-hurricane-gabe-terry-of-palm-beach-central-uses-troubled-past-to-map-optimistic-road-for-future/135280/

WELLINGTON -- The way Palm Beach Central's Gabe Terry sees it, finding success at the University of Miami won't be that complicated.

"I'm a football player. I already know what I want to do," he said, before adding, "I know where I came from."

Terry is 18 years old, but the place he came from includes more struggle than many people see in a lifetime.

His father? He's in prison serving a life sentence for murder. His mother? She's trying to clean up her life after doing time for her role in a bank robbery.

Terry seemed to be heading down that same road when, at 14, he caught a break. After being arrested on burglary and larceny charges, the Palm Beach County juvenile court made him an offer - go to a center for wayward youth near Omaha, Neb. and charges would be dropped, or go to juvenile detention.

He chose Nebraska.

"Thank God he turned that into a positive," said his mother, Grisselle Morales.

It was at Boys Town - a self-contained village for the care, treatment and education of at-risk youth - that Terry realized that if he was going to lead a productive life, not only did he need to stay out of trouble, he also had to work extra hard to be successful.

"He's the hardest worker I've ever seen," said Palm Beach Central junior Ray Wilson, who considers Terry a role model. "He's got a lot going on, and he overcomes it all."

Troubled past

Terry grew up mainly in Wellington, but he bounced around a lot because of his family situation.

He rarely saw his father, even before Clarence Terry, 38, a former Army soldier, was convicted for the 2001 murder of a female Army sergeant at Fort Hood in Killeen, Texas. Clarence Terry is now serving a life sentence in a federal prison in Coleman, just northwest of Orlando.

Raised by a single mother, Gabe lived in more homes than he can remember. In middle school, he went from Wellington to Lake Worth to West Palm Beach and back. He also stayed with relatives in Fort Pierce and Tampa.

His mother had several court appearances during those years, mostly for traffic infractions. But in 2004, she got into major trouble when she drove the getaway car in a bank robbery in Lantana, according to court records. She was sentenced to 24 months in federal prison, of which she says she served 18, with three years probation. She later violated probation and returned to prison for 14 months.

When she was originally released in 2007, she found her felony conviction made things difficult. She worked several part-time jobs and her family was "lucky to have food and water," she recalled.

As an eighth grader, Terry tried to help in his own way.

In Nov. 2007, he and his friends broke into a house in Wellington. Terry was arrested on burglary and larceny charges.

Terry said he believed stealing was a solution to his family's problems.

"I was always trying to help my mom out," he said. "Any way I could get money, I would do it. "

Turning it around

Sent to Boys Town, being isolated 1,600 miles away from family and friends, Terry was forced to change.

"I grew up really fast," he said. "I had to wrap my head around the whole situation of what I wanted to do and what I wanted to be."

He started as a 145-pound freshman at Boys Town High. By his junior year, he was a 190-pound, all-state defensive tackle.

With no previous wrestling experience, Terry became a state qualifier as a sophomore and state finalist a junior, losing to a nationally ranked opponent. He also set school power-lifting records in his weight class.

"He had God-given tools, but he was a worker," Boys Town wrestling coach Aaron Groff said. "You could tell very early on Gabe was going to be a special athlete."

He was also a mentor, worked with the fire department and was elected vice-mayor of the school.

"I was trying to get into anything I could," Terry said. "If football failed, I had to have something to fall back on."

With the court's blessing, Terry returned to Wellington last summer. When he enrolled at Palm Beach Central in the fall, he saw many of the same faces from his one year of playing in the Western Communities Football League in eighth grade. He remembered the friends and families who lent his own family a hand when they had to move, or when they needed a ride to practice.

And he thrived at Central, in one year becoming perhaps the best all-around athlete in Palm Beach County.

In February, the 6-foot-3 Terry won a state wrestling championship in the 195-pound class and was named The Palm Beach Post's All-Area wrestler of the year. Now, he's participating in track and field, competing in the 100- and 200-meter dash, the 400-meter relay and the shot put.

During football season this year, Terry produced 58 tackles and six sacks and was named a Post first-team All-Area linebacker.

Next stop: UM

His football highlight film attracted the interest of Miami coach Al Golden, who asked Terry to meet him in Coral Gables in late November. When Terry arrived, Golden offered him a scholarship.

Now Golden sees "the perfect example" of what he wants in a recruit.

"He wasn't on any list, no stars and now, all of a sudden, everybody is saying, 'Wait a minute. He won a state championship in wrestling. He's 10.82 in the 100 meters and he weighs 200 pounds,'" Golden said. "That's the kind of guy we want in our program."

Golden also said the program did its homework and was convinced of Terry's change.

"This is a kid who comes back to Palm Beach in July and almost instantaneously becomes one of the leaders, one of the captains in their locker room. Kids have to have an opportunity to redeem themselves as long as they're willing to accept the discipline, the change in partners and the different choices that you have to make that goes along with that.

"I clearly believe that he's done that."

With a steady relationship and a newborn girl, Grisselle feels positive momentum. She's ecstatic her son, her pride and joy, has turned it around.

"We both got history behind us," she said. "We've been through a lot. It's motivated him to be great."

Terry said he understands the lessons his mother and father's struggles have taught. He gives thanks every day that his life has taken a turn for the better.

"Yeah, I'm grateful," he said. "I can remember when I didn't even have nothing."

it seems over 20 grams gets an f on your record, making 20 the magic number. you have to be retarded to be buying less than pounds to slang if you are over 20 grams.

sucks that his life is ruined (thanks to aweful legislation, nice work the south), tough if not impossible to get financial aid with a drug related felony so college is probably out for him, and so is any job over minimum wage.
but you get what you deserve.
