🏈 Starting linebacker Michael Divinity is no longer on the LSU football team

[planomateo]

You also have to take into account the games he's played in. I've heard from BR people that he was already serving a suspension which pulled him out of a few games this season. The games he didn't play in? Georgia Southern, Northwestern State, and Utah State.

How does one miss every other game to begin the season?

serving a suspension

Team rule violations where the suspension is staggered based on the coach's discretion is what I've been told.

Staggered = needed him for Texas and Vanderbilt? LOL.

Georgia Southern - “We handle all those things in-house,” Orgeron said. Clark said Divinity had a “minor” injury.
Northwestern State - Starting middle linebacker Michael Divinity Jr. was held out for disciplinary reasons with Damone Clark starting in his spot.
Utah State - Injury from previous game against Vanderbilt.

Official word on him missing games was a "Coach's Decision". They never said he was suspended but just that the coach held him out. Some try to spin that as a possible team rules issue or maybe something related to a minor injury but others have said he is failing drug tests and was only held out of certain games on purpose.

Orgeron also said Coach Bryant was trying to get a home visit with him as a high school recruit. He couldn't even make it at LSU so I'm having a hard time believing that bit. Over the last few days we've also been told "Burrow had a separated shoulder" before last years game.

I may be wrong but I'm getting the impression Org shades the truth a bit.

He doesn't shade anything. He takes permanent markers and colors it all in.

Burrow was begged by the BAMA coaching staff to sign out of HS, but then Ohio State offered and he said no. Then, again before signing day. Then just to make sure that BAMA struck out, he told them no when he was transferring. BULLSHIT!!!!!!!
The lying little POS wasn't even offered by BAMA!!!!

Has Burrow said this stuff publicly?

Has Burrow said this stuff publicly?

I remember hearing it but can't recall if it was Joe or Ed. It was one of those comments I heard in the background, you know? As soon as I heard it I dismissed it knowing there was no truth in what was being said.

Has Burrow said this stuff publicly?

It is in a SI article that I read last night. Claims that Burton Burns came and watched him throw, then threw Dan Enos' name in the mix as well. The entire story is a steaming pile of shit. Dad and Burrow claim that Enos had recruited him from his time at Central Michigan and that Enos came to watch him throw. Correct me if I'm wrong, but Burrow was already in Corndog land before Enos got here.
The article mentions that he separated his shoulder on the Thursday prior to the BAMA game last year and that they shot him full of drugs and stuff.

I'm not sure if whole thing is adding up 100 percent. If he separated his shoulder Thursday before our game, Googling it and I found this " There are no known measures that can help prevent a first time injury. Athletes with shoulder separations may be limited from sports participation for several weeks after the injury. ... In general, athletes may return to play when pain improves, shoulder movement is normal, and arm strength is normal."

Shooting his arm up with pain killer wouldn't help.

I can't speak 2 many things these athletes go thru but I separated my left shoulder when I was 20 years old. There is no way he played 2 days later if it was his throwing shoulder. None
