BREAKING: Suspended Players Offered Pre-Trial Intervention

[williston_gator]

@NickdelaTorreGC: I'm told Antonio Callaway was the last pre-trial diversion that was agreed to. His recent run in w/ law enforcement made it a tougher sell.

I doubt we see any of them THIS year. They still haven't been cleared to return to the team. As mentioned, they'll get dealt university punishment as well (which will likely be game suspensions, most likely games already missed). Most of these kids can redshirt anyway.

Callaway is probably done at UF. I can't imagine he's going to be able to come back. He should transfer to a 1AA school that throws the ball a lot and then go into the draft. He's talented, but there are a ton of talented 5'11 WR's out there.

I think Scarlett is done also with Davis emerging like he has. He will probably just get ready for the draft where he might have to go the free agent route now.

The program is out of control. We don't need these guys back as much as we need the program cleaned up. Just because the felony charges are dropped doesn't mean the players shouldn't be expelled.

Nick De La Torre with some hard hitting stuff there.

I also don’t think any of them play again other than scout team this year. I guess it also depends on how they’ve handled themselves during this time. While not participating with the team that doesn’t mean they can’t contact coaches, so in touch and have kept them informed. So if some have rededicated themselves, it will go a long way to coming back home.

Callaway cost himself millions and so did Scarlett. Callaway goes from potential first rounder to who knows. Scarlett went from a potential 2nd day (probably 3rd) to who knows. Just ridiculous

Callaway a 1st rounder? Hardly...3rd rounder before all this probably

I agree. Take out the trash.

F 'em, they're all done. This ring of azzholes actually stole private citizens' credit accounts from all over this country and charged up big bucks, crime-ring style. I do not want to see any single one of these embarrassments in a Gator uniform again. This "intervention" idea to duck the felonies they committed is more of a break than any of them deserve. By their own premeditated actions they all deserve to be sent up the river.

They aren't dropped. They are only dropped if they complete the probation period. So I wonder what that means with regard to our policy that you can't play with felony charges pending.

Probably and Scarlett a later round guy. Scarlett probably doesn't even get drafted now.

 

[Swamp Donkey]

What does scarlet have 500 yards in six career touchdowns? He may need to come back or go somewhere.

McElButters and pumper preseason hype isn't going to get dude signed anywhere.

 

[KronoGator]

These guys aren't coming back, we're going to find out most of them aren't even in school anymore.

 

[Marianna-FL_Gator]

Remember someone saying everyone but 2 players would be back by the UGA game However i didn't believe Callaway would be back. I thought that kid was gone!

 

[AlexDaGator]

What if they came back, became eligible, and with Calloway opposite Cleveland, we score enough in the Swamp to beat FSU?

Alex.

 

[Chomper]

Cut them all loose. I would be in favor of a case-by-case evaluation to allow them to remain on the team if these were only property crimes. But all of these crimes had victims. Can you imagine the stress you would be under if someone stole your credit card info and made purchases? I am sorry, but I don't think these planned, calculated crimes against other people can be overlooked or swept under the rug just so some guys can play football.

And maybe at least be competitive with Bama in the SEC championship?

 

[Tunaboat]

Hard to believe you actually read what these jackasses did and are still giving polyanna-style support. If it was your credit card that got hijacked for a couple grand by one of these knuckleheads I seriously doubt you would be in the mood for giving breaks.

And FYI I do follow the Annapolis boys too and enjoy the brand of football they play - all out tough and no worries about scandals.

I'm not seeing us in Atlanta this year. Even if we somehow beat a very good UGA team, they would have to lose another SEC game and we would have to win the rest of ours. I don't see it happening.
