I have a teenage daughter and if that young lady had been my daughter, I would not forgive. I would have probably been in jail because I would have beat the crap out of both the boys.

Despite his tender years at the time of the incident, it does show a degree of ingrained callousness that may or may not continue and may or may not result in severe criminal behavior.

If I am responsible for admissions, I would have a tough time allowing this kid to wear the colors of my Alma Mater as a student, much less as a member of its most visible public manifestation.

However, if he has shown signs of remorse and significant improvement in academics as well as athletics, and had become a contributing member of his community, I would certainly take such facts into account.

I hope the kid gets it turned around. With that being said, signing him is bad karma. We should walk from this one. :nono:

I agree. If a woman was beaten or slapped around, it might scar them for a bit but they can get over that. Sexually abused people whether it is a boy or a girl really scars them for life. I dated a girl for a long time who was messed up because of being continually molested as a child. If this happened to my sister, I or wife, I would have killed him.

I will hold judgement however based upon what his uncle and cousin have to say.

I cried because I had no shoes until I saw Swaff hurling his at the sidelines

That guy is a dirt bag, and I hope the rumors of him playing for UT are false.

He sounds like an excellent recruit for FSU, however.

How is this different from what Jason Respert did? And Respert was at least 18 years old at the time.

Do you often cheer for felons to be admitted to the university or just felons who happen to be prized recruits? That double standard is appalling.

My memory may be a bit sketchy but I would say there is a big difference between Jason Respert (simple battery) and the current situation --aggravated rape!

But no double standard here, I wasn't for Respert either. Nevertheless, I would call him a success story.

Respert was arrested for attempted sexual battery and residential burglary Saturday afternoon in Gainesville, Fla., during his official visit to the University of Florida.

He had a $50,000 bond and we still let him play here. It's funny that most people have no clue about recruits in the past because the media coverage wasn't NEAR in depth then as it is now.

Again, I was not for Respert either but there is a big difference between an accusation (Respert) and conviction (like present case).

Respert pleaded no contest to two lesser charges and served 40 hours of community service. I don't get how those are accusations.

I may be wrong but I thought that when Respert signed they were still allegations. Nevertheless, my distinction is two fold. Accusation < conviction and simple battery < aggravated rape.

I just think it's funny how people say that their are distinctions in wrong doings just because of how it makes them feel. Hell, Morley helped rob someone and yet you don't see the outcry you see here because this crime is one that brings people feelings to the surface. I was always raised that wrong is wrong, no matter how you slice it.
