I believe so, the fact that the whole ncaaf world has heard about it, and he probably lost hundreds of thousands due to "character concerns". This kid knows he ***ed up and it was for a petty reason that should be legal. He will be hearing/reminded/thinking of this incident probably everyday up until the draft and so on. This situation would have been a lot better though had he not been with a 40 year old known drug dealer. Miami mother's need to take notes on what happens when you send your kids away, they get pimped out by a 40 year old and start getting arrested. On a side note: **** the gators they're a bunch of *********.
I know, Randy Gregory and Rolando McClain sure have learned their lesson.
Of course there are recidivists that can't put it together, but people can change their stars. I know I've had a bumpy path so I can relate to some of these kids who make mistakes. For every problem kid who continues to mess up there are ones who got right.
I think the point is less about troubled kids and more about what the school and coaching staff will tolerate. What type of culture are you building and what are you teaching your players about as far as what's acceptable? Miami recruits and lands the same kids from the same neighborhoods as uf and fsu. Their kids are involved in a lot more crimes than ours are. People will try to draw a connection between being a savage on the field and being a criminal off of it, but that's bullsht.
