We can't afford to lose any corners right now. I think he would've gotten some playing time at cb because we're kinda thin there.
We are always going to have one or two kids that mess up for whatever reason. 17-18yr old boys are really dumb.

Throw him under the jail. Mullens transition class takes another hit

Or it could be a repeat of things under McElwain where we had all those crazy arrests and accusations but they play on the field still sucked.

Mac couldn’t even do player crime right. Everyone knows only violent crimes correlate to good players/success. Internet based credit card fraud? Meh, at best that may correlate to Dungeons and Dragons success rates.

2 friends of mine taught him in high school. Said he's basically a good kid one on one. But family life was virtually non-existent - no parenting, no discipline, no teaching of right & wrong. They said he had pretty good grades and by getting into UF that's obvious. But when kids aren't taught responsibility and accountability, it leads to trouble down the road. Feel bad for him but worse for the one he abused. He was a highly recruited kid who, I think, always wanted to be a Gator. Looks like that dream is blown, along with any type of meaningful future.

My father in law taught and coached Justin in high school. Told me he wouldn't see the field when he signed because he was immature and didn't have anybody that raised him to grow up at home. Looks like he was right.

They said he had pretty good grades.

Has anyone around here pulled the average SAT and GPAs for kids going to UF and kids going to schools like Bama and Georgia? One would assume there is a strong correlation over the last decade with UF becoming such a difficult place to get into and our rapid decent into mediocrity. All the Foley mess aside, you’d have to wonder if our desire to become the Harvard of the south has ruined our football program?

Dan Mullen is gonna ask him if he did it, Watkins is going to say no, and that'll be all the evidence we need despite the police already investigating and coming to a conclusion of their own.

Is it a kids fault he has no parenting? Sucks to hear. He also seems very “girl” emotional on twitter. Like the type that cries when a girl doesnt text back within 2 minutes type emotional. I feel bad for him and hope he gets the help he needs

Mullen had a kid at Miss State that beat a woman prior to the season starting and it was caught on video and he just suspended him for the opening game I think.
