Maybe this FLA DL needs to re-unite with Jabaar Juluke, his HS coach and get some tough love while being coached?

The article says he is interested in A&M, but I like the way you think. "They" say that Driskel had some run-ins with a few teammates this year, but maybe the big guy will want to follow his Gator teammate to Ruston.
No thugs please? Is this guy just violent or is he in the wrong places at the wrong times.
Giving second chances isn't a bad thing;

well at least 2 2 listed incidents were against football players, DLs battling Offensive players during practice is not unusual and shoving Winston is kinda-sorta understandable. Like idea of JJ mentoring him --BUT if their is offfield baggage (thug)-that can really hurt team chemistry - most premadonnas do not make good teammates
Dunno if he's a thug. Right now I see him as an 18YO youth who didn't care for Jameis Winston.
As for the thug label . . . if he were 21-22, yeah, it'd be hard to break the pattern.

Im not labeling him (well, I am, sorta), I just want to be careful that there are good reasons to take a chance - either because those events were legitimate or because we see a chance for redemption. I don't want to pick up a good athlete just because he's a good athlete.
I spent more than 18 years giving out second and third chances to kids who never had a chance. Some of them have turned out quite well. Of course some haven't. The successful ones? "I didn't want to disappoint you, Mr. Tom."
Coach Jaluke, as the former coach at Edna Karr in NOLA, has dealt with the same situations. Don't you think he'd know if Tech would want this young man . . . or not? I would think so and if he thought so, I'd support the coach 100%.

If JJ is for him, he would be HUGE
Is Quanta Moore still on the team? I never hear him mentioned as a player we are anxious to see next year...thought he was a good get last year...from the Edna Karr pipeline.
Thanks, Burl!
