'09 TN DL Daniel Hood (merged)

I will say that stranger things have happened, but Im surprised that Hubbs hadnt heard anything about it if it were real
 
He deserves another chance, he was 13. The kids life isn't over just because he made a mistake, what he did is between God, that family, and the law. I will lose no respect for the coaching staff. I just pray for his own sake that he made things right with those three. We don't know this guy, he has to live with this everyday and I am willing to bet it is not easy.

i see a big difference between

1) allowing him to attend the university and get a degree so that he can be a productive member of society

and

2) giving (paying) him a scholarship and having him be a representative of the university's football program

and thanks for answering my legal question

I agree completely. I work with this age group on a daily basis, they know what they are doing. Does he deserve a second chance-absolutely. Representing a major university-no. His past actions unfortunately will affect his future-period. Perhaps even playing for a college football team. Prank-I don't buy it.

This is press that Kiffin does not need.

I hope Hubbs has quashed this rumor and it's not true.
 
after reading through all of these comments, i feel justified in saying we are all part of one big messed up, dysfunctional family. yet i still think we outshine even the best of the bammers and gators.

and yes i do recognize that i have an oxymoron in my statement..
 
Should anyone step up and tell this kid to stop dreaming to be a collegiate football player?
I don't know the answer; do you??
 
My family is very religious and my mother is still a practicing priest, so I believe in retribution and second chances but I can't think that an experience like this wouldn't have a long term and lasting effect on a person. Regardless of his guilt in the matter, I think something like this issue is so touchy that it should be left alone and I think it possibly sets a negative precedent that Tennessee football under CLK will take any player with talent, no matter what the particulars about their character are. Honestly, that's not the type of team I want to be a fan of or root for. I want all of our players to be stand out young men like Chris Martin, EB, or Inky Johnson.

Well said. Character on and off the field is important and it seems he should choose a school with less media interest.
Some mistakes carry consequences that last a lifetime. That's just the way it is.

Signing this kid would create another negative media tidal wave for CLK. Things have finally calmed down. We don't need that right now, IMO.
 
Without reading through all the posts, I would like to find out if his cousin and uncle has forgiven him. If they have, then I can.
