    Man this kid, who is a 4* CB and being recruited by a lot of people including ND really is not a kid who I would want and I hope he doesn't come to ND. Maybe this kid just thinks it's cool to say stuff like that, sort a bad ass Gangsta Rapper type of stuff.

    This article is why Mich dropped him, things he said on his twitter feed. It's a NSFW stream of racial and sexual profanities. Not as bad as what former Gator Will Hill used to post but close.

    Give Bo 10 minutes with him, he'll dictate policy to the young man.

    BTW, for all you folks that don't like Bo's actions on the sidelines, grow a pair will ya....USMC Bootcamp amplifies that times 50.

    I can't worry about Bo when I have to worry about Brian Kelly actually yelling at kids, can you imagine that?

    Well that's what it's all about, right? Accountability?

    Obviously here's a young man with quite a bit of ability, but no bearing, respect or manners. I can't teach God given ability, the last 3 are easily forged with time.

    AJ,

    I cited Bo and Muschamp in an earlier post defending Kelly. I like Bo, and I don't have a problem with him or Muschamp screaming on the sidelines. My point was that, if you saw the antics of those two, they made Kelly look calm in comparison. I've never had a problem with screaming coaches who know how to coach.

    Hopefully some adults around him will start to exert some influence and guidance. While UM dropped him and I've heard Kelly is not recruiting him any longer, he's still a talented athlete and if he'll just cool it on all that racial/ sexual rhetoric he'll still end up with a college scholarship and have a chance at education and maybe even the NFL. Of course maybe we'll find out that PacMan Jones is his idol.

    His mother must be so proud of him. I'm sure Auburn and Nevada Las Vegas are in the running for this one...

    An incredible social reaction is happening on the Blue-Gold Illustrated site in reaction to this kid's tweets and subsequent expulsion.

    Subscribers by a LARGE margin are backing this kid as worthy of an Irish scholarship. Among the responses are "he's just a kid" , "twitter comments should never be taken into consideration" , "the university should be his lifeline" " who are we to judge" . When I suggested that he hardly fit the Kelly model of an "RKG" (right kind of guy) I was called a bigot, a racist, a "Pope" and "holier than thou".

    Beam me up, Scotty.

    If you had a daughter on campus, would you want this heat seeking missle as part of the community? Of course if all you cared about was football you wouldn't care. If that's the case, you're better off following SEC teams.

    George, it must make you wonder about the average age of the idiots who say those things. It also is all you need to know about the mentality of those posters. If they knew they were messing with the godfather, they might think twice.........or not, as stupid as they are. :roll:
