I hate to say this, but I am not in the least surprised.

Of course, the worst thing is that I feel badly that he wasted so much potential and has probably ruined his life. He was supposedly the best player in Mississippi a few years ago! What a waste of God-given talent.

As far as the team, it is probably for the best. It gets a "cancer" off the team and opens the door for one of Saban's signees.

I just hope none of the class of '08 signees follow this type of course. I know that I haven't walked in his shoes, but I cannot fathom how someone could do something so utterly foolish.
