JT Floyd, Will Hagerup, Brandin Hawthorne kicked off the team

[wheels002]

At least thats what I am seeing on twitter right now. And Hoke has said something about holding the team accountable and winning the right way. Not sure what happened.

 

[wheels002]

Hearing it may have had to do with marijuana use and that Jerald Robinson leaving the team may have also been part of it.

culd be above

could explain his comments about some freshman paying more in practice

floyd and hawthorne ony had bowl game left

 

[Michlady]

and hagerup had been suspended before for pot

 

[hungry]

Hawthorne was a departing senior?

so they smoked some weed and are being kicked out of the program completely before their last game ever. Wow! That seems pretty harsh.

Now Hagerup, as good as he is, this is not his first offense, so yeah. I don't know how many offenses the others had.

 

[Michlady]

agree it sens rude to do it fr the last game for floyd and hawthorne

 

[Michlady]

right now it has not been confirmed

as OP said, twitter rumors

 

[dubbsco]

Floyd is a senior, so unless I missed a redshirt that he has, that's no issue. I'm sure Wile can pick up the punt duties, and I'm not sure what Hawthorne's role on the team is.

 

[wheels002]

Its been confirmed by Sam Webb that the players have been suspended. Not sure if this means Hagerup can earn his way back.

 

[Michlady]

susoended is not same as kicked off

 

[zyxt9]

yeah, pot use is absolutely NO reason to suspend or kick off the team

susoended is not same as kicked off

It was when Bo was coach.

 

[MAIZEandBLUE09]

Isn't this the second big game Hagerup has missed for violation of team rules?

 

[Michlady]

It was when Bo was coach.

yes for the two seniors it is like that

 

[Michlady]

and thinking hagerup is done

 

[deathroh]

Guess the Norfleet thing makes a little more sense, at least for the short term.

Well, I don't think that was ever proven

I'm not saying they shouldn't be subject to some discipline, but booting them completely out of the program a couple of weeks before their last game seems a bit harsh.

How are teams in the states of Washington and Colorado gonna deal with pot smoking going forward?

I'd bet that it will still be banned for college athletes to use marijuana. Just because its legal for normal citizens to use the substance, doesn't mean the NCAA or the university will feel that it's OK for a scholarship athlete to use it. They are held to a higher standard.
