Re: Trouble for one of our 2011 recruits
I'll take it one step further.
If that punk had done this to MY son (who's 14 right now)....he'd have more to worry about than bail and pending charges.
He'd have a 6'5, 230 pound A-hole bearing down on him. I'd teach him the meaning of "hard life."

Bullcrap.
Tell that to the parents of the 16 year old kid who had his skull kicked in.
Trust me I understand. What he did was awful and plain stupid. I don't care how hard his life is either, he knew what he was doing and should be punished. He deserves to take a serious ass beating, and if keeps it up he will find someone who will give it to him.
He is a KID though and his life shouldn't be ruined for one mistake. I believe in second chances. With the right guidance maybe he can change his life around. Apparently he is living with some great people and he will make a 180.

At this point I think that I might be willing to give him a shot at Tech, if he keeps his nose clean until signing day. But he would be on a very short leash and it would be basically one strike and you are out after he got here. If I were Dykes, I would at least sit down with him and have a very long heart to heart talk before giving a scholarship.

True.... that's why I was asking what was so rough about his upbringing that you stated in another post. So do you mind clarifying what you meant by his "having a hard life growing up"??
Re: Trouble for one of our 2011 recruits
This guy is most likely headed to juco first, anyway.

Character is contagious.
The lack of character can become an epidemic.

I don't know much about it. Someone else could probably provide more details, but I have heard he has had no parenting influences in his life. Maybe Dawg Dude could provide details.

T.K. Fleming off Benton football team
Tigers' senior faces theft charges.
BENTON — The Benton Tigers had their first official football practice Monday.
T.K. Fleming and his No. 4 jersey weren't on the field.
Benton coach Caleb Guidry said Monday evening that his star defensive back and wide receiver was no longer on the team.
According to Bossier Parish Sheriff's Office spokesman Ed Baswell, Fleming was arrested for theft Thursday. It was Fleming's fourth arrest in the last six months. He's being held on $5,000 bond in the Bossier Maximum Security Facility in Bossier City.....
Doesn't look good...

Rumor has it, Houston Nutt is in route to Benton.
What a shame, waste of God given talent.

Re: Trouble for one of our 2011 recruits
Wow, this kid works hard to get in trouble. We will be supporting him through our tax payer dollars the rest of his life if he doesn't straighten out. It is hard to understand why this kid is working so hard to self-destruct!
