Dubious crystal ball prediction by 247
Quote from Bronco7454 on January 24, 2024, 5:35 pmFrom several messages I've read over on Brand X he is coming to Boise State (has to be next fall - too late to enroll now) and he knows this is his "last chance" so according to at least one other Boise State fan he's coming to Boise State as a "tryout". The way I see it is Boise State is giving him the "rope". Just have to wait and see what he does with that "rope". I hope he makes it. I love tales of redemption.

Quote from maybeandrewford on January 25, 2024, 1:00 pmQuote from Bronco7454 on January 23, 2024, 5:28 amExtremely dubious given that he was arrested last November in Kilgore, TX., for possession of 1/4 lb of weed - a felony in Texas. https://www.ketk.com/news/local-news/quarter-pound-of-marijuana-seized-after-rusk-county-traffic-stop/
Yet here he is visiting Boise State last Saturday?
It's an interesting scholarship that seems like a gamble. Nobody has a 1/4 pound of weed to smoke it themselves.

Quote from Bronco7454 on January 25, 2024, 2:50 pmNo gamble at all. They use a scholarship to give a tryout to a kid who was a 5 star recruit out of H.S. If he washes out (again) they can use the scholarship next fall for a deserving walk-on or someone from the transfer portal.
I personally haven't had anything to do with dope for more than 40 years (back when I was young and dumb) but even back then I had enough intelligence to figure out that IF you had ANY pot in your vehicle you absolutely did not go around SPEEDING and in any other way draw attention to yourself. You certainly don't go around attracting the attention of the cops. But this young man apparently doesn't have even that much common sense.
To paraphrase a line from the movie "Bull Durham" starring Kevin Coster, Tim Robbins and Susan Sarandon "A million dollar talent and a ten cent head".
P.S. The reason I haven't had anything to do with pot in over 40 years is very simple. It dawned on me one bright shiny day that smoking pot did only one of three things to me. It made me either horny, hungry or sleepy. And I didn't need ANY HELP AT ALL in any of those three areas. Anyone who smokes pot is literally a "DOPE" as far as I'm concerned.

You probably already know this, but reports are that he is on campus, enrolled and making up 2 weeks of classwork.
I hope for nothing less than the best for him. But it is all up to him at this point.
