Proof Kendyl Taylor Didn't Buy-In

The Beavs looks like he needs to hit the weight room.

That's the takeaway: Beaver is 14

When you slack at school, you slack at practice. You breed the type of environment where Cyler says something stupid like, "yeah we had a down week of practice b/c we weren't taking it seriously". That was the sark attitude of "it's all good brah, we can win this by just showing up".

I do believe things of the field will help build the guys on the field.

Let's be thankful that this year's team is 53% Petersen, 47% Sark.

(45 of 85 scholarship players are Petersen's, 40 of 85 scholarship players are Sark's).

Except that there are tons of good players who hate school and suck at it.

Urban Meyer's teams say hi.

I don't give a shit about Kendyl Taylor leaving, but he does have a dad, uncle, and brother who played in the NFL. He probably knows the work needed to get there. Anyways, do it Petersen's way or gtfo. It's good to have a coach who has convictions. Way too much is being made of this.

Actually, the official party line from Buckeye Nation is that Cardale Jones has flipped the script since his infamous tweet.

But what about Percy Harvin, Aaron Hernandez, Janoris Jenkins, and the Pouncy twins? I didn't name a ton of other players on his notorious Florida teams. They had guys who got in trouble off the field, but still dominated on it.

Not being an avid student, smoking weed, getting in fights does not always equal being lazy when it comes to football.

Many in this thread go at Taylor and for what? He was a role player at best and he's gone. No big deal. He thought the coaches were "babysitting." I'm sure there are other recruits and players who feel the same way and are football first, second, and third. Some of those guys are brb, jo worthy.

Win or gtfo. I enjoy story about a player thriving in academia like everyone else, but not nearly as much as I enjoy winning.
