Rashawn Scott was ashamed — so much so that he stayed out of sight for at least two weeks before he had the nerve to wander beyond his home on Merritt Island and say hi to the folks who have grown to know him as a football star and all-around nice kid.

“It was rough going home, seeing the family,” said the University of Miami receiver, who was suspended for the last three games of the 2012 season for an undisclosed team violation. “You’ve got people in the area looking up to you, and then that happened. You don’t want to go out.

“I had to get past that. It took me a couple of weeks before I could go out and talk to people. I got over it and did a little community service to see things, that I have more than others.”

The soft-spoken Scott, going into his junior season, still finished 2012 as Miami’s second-leading receiver, with 512 yards and three touchdowns on 35 catches. He posted a career-high 180 yards and two touchdowns on six catches in UM’s win over North Carolina State. He had 50 yards on three catches during his last game against Virginia Tech, and said, prophetically, afterward: “Nothing can really stop us unless we stop ourselves.”

Phillip Dorsett, also a junior, compensated for Scott’s absence with performances of 103 receiving yards at Virginia, 111 against USF and 83 at Duke. Dorsett finished the season with 58 catches for 842 yards and four touchdowns.

UM receivers coach Brennan Carroll, who has moved over from coaching the tight ends, said Tuesday that Scott — up to 208 pounds on his 6-2 frame — has shown more focus since he returned for the UTough offseason strength and conditioning program.

“UTough I like a lot,” Scott said Tuesday after UM’s third spring practice session. “I like to run.”

He said he has been working on his hands — “I had some dropped balls” last season — and his feet. “I’ve got to get better on not having it be a foot race.”

As for the off-the-field problems, Scott said his teammates have helped him stay grounded through their companionship.

“I’ve eliminated some of the distractions,” he said, by staying away from “partying, and calming down and being more into football. I just hang out. Weekend nights I go to someone’s room, like [fellow receiver] Allen Hurns’. We all just hang out and chill. We talk. The days pass by — the time.

That’s a lot better.”

Golden is a gangster. He knows how to run a big-time program. He's played the game and kept certain guys on the team.

Exactly right, it's the Tom Osborne book of discipline. A group of guys go out together, get in a fight, smoke some weed, whatever. The third string long snapper is off then team, Lawrence Phillips (star RB) runs stairs and sits the first play of the first quarter.

It's about your talent, not all teammates are equal.

// EJ needs to know this, he's on thin ice even with his talent

I know Franchise says he messed ole girl up pretty bad. (Unless he was just kiddin around). I am guessing there was alot more to the story then just him deciding to all of a sudden become a women beater overnight. Or else im sure he would be off the team. Or had a "honorable discharge" and been snuck out the back door like they did Arther Brown after he allegedly choked his girlfriend out. Either I like this kids skill set. People compare him to Hank but I think he has more "on the field speed" then Hank. Hank ran a 4.4 at the pro day but I rarely saw that on the field.

Sounds like Scott is surrounding himself with the right cats and from what I can see hanging with a guy like Allen Hurns is a good start. (Hurns has no time for parties, girls, or hanging out. He is in his last year and wants to get paid and will be focused on only that.)
 
Nice to see he is back focused, the Depth Chart probably got him scared too lol. He cant afford to slack off, because he knows Waters, Hurns and some of these other guys on the roster are gunning for him and Dorsett

I was just joking around, Jass. I don't know how badly he tuned her up. Might have just choked the bytch a little, but you know how chicks can get all dramatic when there's a beef. She probably hit him more than he did her, but when the cops get there, the dude is going to four bar.

Bottom line: If you're going to beat chicks, you gotta get one who has a beard like Tex Cobb and can absorb some tough love. Need to find a chick who won't let an occasional punch or a choke out deter her from her mission of keeping of you happy.
 
Now that you mention it im sure thats exactly what happen, Franch. Smh. **** buddy got caught up big time. I'm sure he was sitting in that cell thinking his life was over. That, im sure, was enough to scare him straight. Al probably didn't even have to do no more after that. (Besides the suspension obviously) Plus he seems like a good kid.

I know people who know Rashawn and rave about him as a person. Golden seems to know when the pull the trigger on kids - he definitely has no qualms about kicking the trash to the curb.

WR has crazy depth this year.

If Hurns can stay on the field and can get himself 40-50 catches this year, Morris will have a sick year with all the weapons around him.

Could break the single season passing yard record.
