This kid needed/needs therapy, not a student athlete at an elite university.
Or he needs prison or jail.

Just a troubled kid who needs to be stabilized. Urbs will get him straightened out.
Some kids are able to overcome these obstacles....some are not.

The research on outcomes for young children who grow up in such dysfunction is clear and irrefutable. Such children experience far greater likelihood’s of teen pregnancy, school dropout, substance abuse, criminal activity and incarceration. Many issues arise from what’s known as attachment disorder. Because they were not bonded as children they fail to bond with others as adults. They have deep-seated issues. They often don’t view trust, loyalty and commitment as we do. They have not lived it. I don’t know enough about this kid to really know what he went through. Some kids are able to overcome these obstacles....some are not.
The bottom line though is just as clear. Our society demands that we are held accountable for our actions. That can’t be compromised. It would not be helping him to do so anyway. But just as clear is this kid needs help and guidance. Even as he continues to fail.
Due Process, anyone?
Key word, "alleged"
Great thoughts. Too bad that of the few who understand what you are saying, even fewer help provide that help and guidance to people like him. Mostly because they alienate and try to manipulate everyone around them and people get tired of it and move on. And so does the cycle. The harvest is plentiful.
Nailed it.
A great organization that seriously tries to help these kids is the Guardian Ad Litum program in each judicial circuit. They desperately need volunteers throughout the state. My daughter volunteered in Alachua County while she was attending UF. Opened her eyes wide seeing the difference in her upbringing and those she represented to the court. It’s easy to call these kids a POS based on their behavior but very difficult to break through the hardened shell and the wall they’ve erected. Abuse, neglect and abandonment is not easily forgotten.
There are plenty of kids that buck that trend however especially ones that were given the opportunities he was given due to his football talent. I bet half of my high school team was raised by grandparents that didn't have money to give the kids much. Like you say he needs to own up to his arrogant attitude and his behavior.
Butters fought the Administration hard to get Lemons into UF.

Even the podcasters were saying "he had the Will Grier problem".Impressive list. Never heard about this one though.

Yeah, but where is this stuff written and reported that "everybody" knows?
It was rumor, and possibly embellished to some degree. But it kept an Elite 11 kid from getting an offer from anyone on the west coast, which is insane. The fact that his choice came down to a team that didn’t want him and a team on probation, says it all. Never seen a pariah of that level before.
