Yeah...I'm sure that Richt and staff would welcome him back with open arms.

Even if this is true, you can't just take a kid back after you kicked him off the team a couple of days prior. That's ridiculous.

JT4 screwed JT4. Kid quit on his HS school team and now quit on us.
 
If he does want to comeback if I was the coach I'd definitely ask my players if they are onboard with it.If they want I'd also tell him we will help you but you've got show us you aren't going to quit on us either.I'd also tell him your young and a good athlete but not not great you need to work on some things to get you there.and quit listening to people who giving you the wrong advice filling your head with things that aren't in your best interest.

Absolutely take him back. No questions asked.

Even if you took him back, you still have to punish him for prior offenses. And something like this, it can't just be a series or a game.

What kind of message would it send the team if a player was in trouble, says, "**** you, I quit.", then comes back on the team unpunished?

I think JT4 is a great talent. But I really don't see how you can allow him back without compromising the discipline of the team. :/

If Im Richt I'd look at it like this:

He was going to punish JT4 for his bad attitude. What better punishment can there be that's more effective than sending a kid to East St. Louis for 72 hours to ponder what life will be like there with no college degree, no shot at the NFL and a nagging baby momma?

Sure, punishment is fine but you still take him back

He spent 18 years there what the **** would 72 more hours there do?

These kids aren't kindergartners. You play the best players that help you win. When you are a grown man you don't learn from getting disciplined.
 
As Coach Jimmy Johnson said, not all players are equal. The more talent and production the longer the leash. I'm paraphrasing but if giving a talented kid an extra chance of 5 a la Michael Irvin is okay in the mind of a Hall of Fame coach it should be for coach Richt as long as he's willing to do whatever necessary to earn that chance.

If ur truly about helping kids you work with them. People forget its not easy to move across the country, deal with the pressure of college football, and family issues at age 20. Players quit more than you ever know and u never even hear about it.

Can't disagree more. I've made mistakes as an adult & the only way I learned to correct my behavior was from being disciplined. Forms of discipline can come in many different shapes and jurisdictions.
 
If anybody has been reading my posts on the situation you already know how I felt about his exit. I'd gladly welcome him back if I'm Richt but I'd force him to take a redshirt year or some sort of leave of absence to find the same turn around that Gerald Willis did.

Interesting. I have never known someone that learned from being disciplined after middle school.
