AJ doesn't know why he was kicked off the team.

Also, we are scared to play against him.

Major gun violation
Failed multiple drug tests (rumor)
Academic issues

and he doesn't know why he was kicked off the team? He is at the right place.

 

[thunderclap]

hearing how many chances the new staff gave him to come back to the team and comply with the rules:
He's a dubmass.

lock it up.</p>

 

[JudgeMathis]

Unfortunate circumstances regardless if they were self-inflicted or not. Kids make mistakes.

 

[JohnDawg]

He's turning 23 this year. He had his chances. Don't hate me if I don't feel one ounce of remorse for this guy.

 

[Croomp]

and you would think the gun incident would have been enough of a wake up call for him. Some of these guys have all the potential in the world but don't 17ing realize it.

 

[HammerOfTheDogs]

...I know a couple of outfits who'd take him.

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

Some people are kids their whole life.

On this board, they like to say at 21, you are not a kid...but that's ********.
In Nick Saban's SEC interview last week, ...You just don't know how these kids are going to work out (paraphrased). He meant what he said...they are kids.

 

[patdog]

But in his case, no.

 

[SLUdog]

you are an adult at 18. MS state law states 21 is the age of an adult, that is, one can own property or drink an alcoholic beverage. I don't care what Nick Saban or you say. They are not "kids." The longer someone is expected to be a "kid" the longer he will act like it. How long does one get to claim "kid" status?

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

You'll figure it out one day.

 

[SLUdog]

I work with said 18-22 yr old "kids" most of the year. I know a lot about it.

 

[Eureka Dog]

if things don't change. Then you're looking at a 40, 50... year old kid.

I work (and have worked) with quite a number of 30-50 year old kids.

 

[bowldog]

BDJ just did an article on Rodney Prince and apparently the gun incident was a wake up call for him. Sounds like he is damn thankful to the coaching staff and fellow players for giving him a second chance.

 

[Stormrider81]

It's not that he's a bad person. His dad is a good guy and has tried to get through to him. Unfortunately some people just don't get it. They have yet to come to the realization that life is for real, that opportunities don't pop up everyday, that there are consequences to one's actions, and that without effort you won't get anywhere. AJ is one of those people. He didn't get it in HS when he could have had good enough grades to make it in without needing Prep School. He didn't get it when he got to MSU. He didn't get it after the gun situation. He doesn't get it today. Hopefully he will get it soon.

 

[Roy Munson.sixpack]

or he will be just another statistic...

 

[dickiedawg]

This is not news. Obviously there are exceptions. AJ is not one of them.

 

[DISTRICT DOG]

everything. He would go to Mugshots and "post up" and kids would walk up trying to talk to him about football and he would kinda shrug them off like he wasnt really wanting to hear about it. He was nice to me, but he had such a bad attitude about everything he was not enjoyable to be around

 

[bullshooters]

he never had a gun... the players with the guns showed up to his place and he left bc he didnt want anything to do with it... however, bc he didnt snitch on them to the cops he was guilty by association... but besides that he failed way to many drugs tests and ive had classes with him--definitely not his calling. wish we still had him though he was a shutdown corner that we desparately need!
