Avantae Williams - charges dropped and dismissed

[deecanes21]

Now in… avantae case is dropped and the court documents shows not guilty . He is not on the transfer portal and still enrolled at Miami.
Why did Miami jumped the gun… we should of suspended him oppose to dismissing him. I doubt he would come back to Miami but then again we seen manny Diaz give second chances to Jeff Thomas

 

[Damiencane86]

Wow. Even if we took him back he'd likely still be suspended for the year I'd guess.

 

[MovingZen]

He back?

 

[NorthernVirginiaCane]

I was okay with suspending him pending the outcome of his case. Instead they rushed to judgment. Accusations like that make people pretty skittish in 2021, I get it. But everyone is entitled to due process. He's probably a rough kid, he needs a lot of mentoring and guidance. But at this point, I think he's better off learning how to be a man and member of society as part of a team and university than not.

I would bring him back. Maybe this was a wake up call he needed.

THAT’S WHY I SAID IN THE PATA THREAD THAT ARRESTED IS NOT CONVICTED….IT DOESN’T MEAN THE INCIDENT DIDN’T HAPPEN AND SHOULD BE OVERLOOKED BUT I HOPE MANNY REACHES OUT TO THIS YOUNG MAN TO MAKE IT RIGHT…THE TEAM SHOULD / WOULD DO THE SAME IN SUPPORT

If he wasn’t a 5 star safety and a 3 star project, no one has ever heard of, would you still feel the same? I’m just asking. Because I have mixed feelings about all this.

 

[Tru C]

Go on down to coach Prime kid, get yourself together.

 

[deecanes21]

He back?

I wish

 

[HurricaneHauk]

Tough situation but has there ever been a case where a player has been dismissed from team and then welcomed back

Correct

I agree

@KrazyCane @TouchMoney26 and others come take your victory lap... You earned it.

Just because the charges were dropped doesn’t mean he didn’t beat up a young, pregnant woman.

Manny needs to worry about the message he’s sending about what’s acceptable behavior to the other 85 guys on this roster.

 

[Tru C]

Is the media going to report this with the same intensity? As Michael Irvin would say, use the same intensity. Don‘t lose the intensity.

 

[RozayCane]

I think Miami should have waited this one out.

Innocent until proven guilty. He plead not guilty and the discovery of evidence was shown in court.

I hope so

I hope the young man gets the necessary counseling and support go forward. As for playing football at Miami, I’ll leave that up to Diaz and his staff. And I’m sure there’s some level of administrative and student judicial committee that would have a say.
