Linebacker Mique Juarez, UCLA’s most highly touted freshman, missed a second consecutive day of practice Saturday. Bruins Coach Jim Mora became a bit repetitive when asked about Juarez’s absenteeism.
“He’s got an excused absence from us,” Mora said.
Was there any chance Juarez had left the team?
“He’s got an excused absence from us,” Mora said.
Did Mora have an expectation for when Juarez might return?
“He’s got an excused absence from us,” Mora said.
Juarez was widely considered the top player at his position coming out of North Torrance High. He enrolled at UCLA early so that he could participate in spring practice and was competing for immediate playing time with far more experienced teammates.
Chincredibled less because of the doogtastic idea of him donning the purple, black, white and gold...and more because of his misogynistic comment that I hope our* AD sees.
The vibe I get from the situation is that he's deserted the program for at least this season, because of either:
a) Him being in the process of completely leaving the team but still pretending to be a part of it b) Him getting special treatment from Mora to go off and not participate with the team while he deals with some personal shit that's apparently BS enough to the point where the other players like Takk don't at all respect the reason he's left the team, and are understandably fed up. One of the popular rumors that some UCLA fans on reddit mentioned was girl problems (lol)
Either way Mora is dumb as shit for not keeping his players like Takk in line and making sure they don't make the drama public on Twitter.

In the last few hours he has:
1) Followed Kwiatowski on twitter (and Coach K followed him back)
2) Followed the USC linebackers coach
3) Retweeted a husky fan telling him to come play for UW
Sark would be all over this guy, like the purse snatchers we? booted.
Math is hard.
is he for sure deserting ucla or what

I don't think a player comes back from deserting their teammates. Lockeroom is obviously against him.
The nature of his absence makes me think he's just done playing football.
