His tweet was already posted. He said he couldn’t control himself when adversity came. Along those lines. So he got into a heated argument at a minimum with someone. Being kicked off team would suggest it was a coach. No arrest record so it probably wasn’t domestic. Read between the lines on why he’d be exchanging words with coaches in between Spring and Fall Camps.
Reading this makes me realize what a great role my parents play in the decisions I make in life. I'm in my 40's with a family and a very successful business yet my father is still someone I rely on to help me look at things the right way. I have surpassed him financially but he is decades ahead of me in the game of life which is everything.
His family was n social media complaining. Can you blame him for that? No but why leave UCF for Georgia St? QB had 90 yards passing. Seems like he could have gone to a different school that passed more.
He would have been great at UCF. We don't have any WRs with his size.
Heupel fired WR Coach Wyatt as UCF lead the nation last year in dropped passes.
Wasn't that one of the last positions filled? Might have searched elsewhere but ended up being the beat option available.
Yes...as the timing of Gus's hire (mid-late Feb) was a tough time to fill a staff since most in the industry either had current jobs and or just accepted new jobs in Dec/Jan when most coaching staff.moves are made).
So how does that he work? Is he still a student at UCF paying his own way, or is he still on scholarship, getting an education and taking up a spot and not playing on the team?
Bentaviouis paid his dues. He was backup to AK, Otis, and Mcrae for 3 years. and when his time came as a senior, we brought in 3 new RBs (Bowser, Harvey, Richards) who had better upside. Just an unfortunate situation for him.

Big fan, but he played terrible last year and was benched. I think his replacement played pretty well and took them to a bowl game? Surprised he’s getting another chance, but good for him. He didn’t look like the same player. Maybe he had a lot of rust and difficulty learning a new system. We saw what lack of playing did to Milton. It’s hard to get that perfect timing backMeanwhile it looks like DJ is finally going to get his chance to be starting QB this year at ODU.

That's not what I was referring to. It's obvious why he left. The puzzling thing is why he hasn't been picked up by any other team. Teams always need more running backs. You can't tell me that he wouldn't have found a place with almost any other G5 team let alone an FCS school.
2021: Played in seven games, starting six at quarterback ... Completed 86-of-167 passes for 859 yards, five touchdowns and seven interceptions...not goodMeanwhile it looks like DJ is finally going to get his chance to be starting QB this year at ODU.

Look at his running stats though he had good TD numbers as we saw. This year he should get the full year to develop. However, we knew he had accuracy problems which is why he isn't here. If he could complete passes he has the physical ability to play some level of pro ball.
I was listening to Sons of UCF last night and they said there's a huge supply of good RBs out there. Maybe there's just too many and he's holding out
That’s unfair - it was more than just him. Our line was terrible at blocking, the defense couldn’t get off the field on third down, and we had a couple drops that we needed.
While you aren’t wrong, he was awful that game. The play calling was even worse. Our running backs were producing, but we kept passing and running with Mack. It was obvious it wasn’t working, but hippo gonna hippo and never adjust. There were at least 2 passes dropped that would have been TDs though. GD had one in endzone and butterfinger Harris had the other with wide open jog in.
Hippo polished that turd of a situation as best he could. Mack was not a good QB and he was thrust into a situation against a team with a talent advantage at every position. It’s a wonder we lost by just a touchdown. There is a reason why Mack never started a game after that. There is a reason he was the 127th rated QB at ODU last year.
