From a real time standpoint, he is closer to home in Columbus than Gainesville. 5 hour drive vs 2:35 flight time to Lauderdale.
You're right. He gets a call, things aren't good with his family member, no problem and he's there right in around three hours.
In the real world, you don't just hop on a plane and you're there. You have the time to get there, hope you can catch a flight as they tend to be full most of the time, costs a small fortune for short notice, and it isn't a direct flight. Say you get the call in the evening, then what? Saying what you did, that isn't reality. It's a flight time, it doesn't take into account anything else whatsoever.
Now, let's "just assume" it's something like cancer where the person in question is getting chemo, radiation, both, or even actively dying. He's in a better spot now than he was in Columbus for various reasons.
I love how people are so opinionated about **** when they don't have a clue what's going on with the guy or his family. It is legit, but believe whatever you all want and if his family wanted what is a family matter out in public, they would put it out there.
To the guy above, who in their right mind is going to go to FAU? Last Chance U 2 and who is to say Kiffen is there much longer? Urban did everything he could to keep him so it's interesting to hear people label him a *****, but my guess is they're the real ***** here.
Wish we had got him, but we didn't. Hightower and him are similar, so it is what it is.
Maybe we should get back on track with this thread.
