The track record of moving around is concerning but if the raw talent is that real and we can keep him on the field WOOH!

Well, he got kicked off of Texas' team after an arrest -- did nothing in 2023 and then committed to UCF this year and never suited up in 2024... Yes he was the #37 recruit in the country coming out of HS -- but this is a major risk and I hope he has learned lessons and is humble coming here.
 
I'm not defending the player, because I don't know him. But the arrest appears to be for criminal mischief/vandalism. Assign your own value to that.

That's the smaller arrest....

FootballAlum84 literally posted an article above for his big arrest...

But you are on this board, so I should not assume you have reading comprehension.

According to reports from AL.com, former Texas Longhorns and Alabama wide receiver Agiye Hall recently pleaded no contest to first-degree felony drug trafficking charges that stemmed from a July 2023 incident in Florida.

Per the report, Hall was found with 31 vacuumed sealed bags containing a total of 40.3 pounds of marijuana at the Orlando airport. He was later arrested on Dec. 4 of last year.

Ok. I see it. 18 months probation and ordered to go to counseling and finish school. That's the value the judge assigned.

It's an opportunity for both sides. If it doesn't work out, it doesn't work out.

I understand that college football is changing but I would rather have a person like Gandy on the team as opposed to someone who has been kicked off a team and then later arrested with 40 lbs of pot at an airport.
 
Until proven otherwise, I’m going to default to Coach Marion knowing what he’s doing in this situation and trust in that.

I’d also assume that whatever amount of slack (in the proverbial rope) Coach Marion has granted to Agiye Hall will be quite short. I hope the kid makes the most of a 2nd, 3rd or whatever the number of chances this is.

Lastly, the most likely reason this program would even be in position of landing a talent of this caliber is when numerous red flags and/or a checkered resume come attached.

Marion is the guy who recruited Hall from Alabama to Texas. Hopefully he knows what he's doing - as I've said on other threads, I'm also giving him the benefit of the doubt.

Imagine a fully engaged 5-Star WR from Alabama on one side and a 4-Star from Oregon State on the other for Carson Conklin to sling the ball to. There is lightning in a bottle potential and mud on face potential. It's gonna be fun too see....

Obvious that Marion wanted Conklin to stay BAD. I appreciated the coordinated messaging from Conklin and the staff right at the onset of Marion's arrival. I want Conklin to throw for 35 TDs next year, lead us to a Natty and FBS, then force the collective to pay him big - or risk losing him. "One year can change your life."

Agree, not really feeling the love for recruiting players with legal or questionable moral liabilities. Don’t want a gangster hood rat mentality. Winning with class wins the public perception model.

So -- we didn't announce Hall -- but we gave him the graphic to announce himself? Slightly odd.

Good catch, maybe to avoid the negative backlash about the weed arrest on a larger scale? Nothing is real until the "Signed" release comes from the school, even then, dudes walk/get walked off all the time. lol
