Draft stuff...Tyrann Mathieu

**Ravenswintitle** · 08-16-2012, 08:25 PM

LSU has already said there is no truth to the reports that he may sit out a year and return. He was dismissed from the team permanently; better make that trip to N. Alabama

Not true. There has been alot of misinformation being put out by the local newspapers. LSU's Assistant Athletic Director came out and said that Mathieu is not ineligible permanently. He is just ineligible at LSU for this season. However, he still is deciding between going to McNeese or Nicholls State, ala L. Webb, or possibly coming back to LSU next year. It's still a fluid situation so things may change. McNeese did start classes on Wednesday though. Mathieu did have a phone conversation with Miles earlier in the week but he didn't say what it was about. I just thought I would shed some light on the situation.

"He's permanently ineligible to play football at LSU," Bahnsen said in a telephone interview Monday afternoon. "That's definite. That's what was said Friday."

I don't really want to post the link but LSU'S ADD Herb Vincent said the report isn't true. You can find the info on @LSUherbvin on Twitter. That's why I said the reports that came out weren't true.

Local news here in Houston is reporting he's in a drug rehab facility in town and has been since Monday.

**leachisabeast** · 08-17-2012, 07:51 AM

Rehab? I thought it was just a bit of weed lol.

**Ravenswintitle** · 08-17-2012, 08:07 AM

Rehab for weed, seriously?

Herb Vincent
‏@LSUherbvin 13 Aug To clarify: Tyrann Mathieu has the option to go to LSU as a student. LSU is not speculating on his football future.

Rehab for pot and/or synthetic pot?

**HoustonRaven** · 08-17-2012, 08:24 AM

ESPN has it on their crawl as well.

His father was interviewed on a LA radio station and broke the news.

weird.

**jonboy79** · 08-17-2012, 09:49 AM

Heard on the radio that what Houston is saying is true, and that the Honey Badger will not attend any school this year, nor will he be playing college football this year.
I wonder if he will go after the CFL or AFL after rehab?

And there is nothign synthetic abotu Marijuana. It's one or the other. either it was weed or somehtign synthetic. I don't think the terms should be interchangeable or even grouped together.

**HoustonRaven** · 08-17-2012, 09:51 AM

If he's indeed in rehab, I have to think there is something else going on (i.e. another drug addiction we don't know about).

That, or he's in rehab solely for the sake of appearances, grasping that LSU will take him back next season.

Spice & several other chemicals are considered "synthetic" marijuana or a synthetic "cannabinoid". It doesn't refer to creating a faux plant, so much as the chemical (THC) reproduction that is found naturally in the plant. That's where the synthetic term comes from.

Like HR and others above have stated...there must be something else going on here...alcholoism...cocaine...pharmies...something like that. Going to rehab for pot just doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

does if hes trying to save his draft status. A guy that went to rehab looks a lot better than a guy that didnt.

But a guy that sits out a year still looks like Mike Williams(USC- DEt- SEA) and maurice Clarett.

Both stayed out for ridiculous reasons, trying to enter the draft earlier than the NFL allows. That was a whole other kind of stupid, imo. Drugs/alcohol, teams seem to be forgiving if you atleast make an effort to get over it. not saying they wont see him as a risk, because they will, but it may be the difference in getting drafted or not.

Seems to me that it would be better for him to just transfer to a D2 school, play this year, and clean up his act.

Whoever is giving him advice is giving him some strange advice...unless, of course, he does have a legitimate problem with other things and not just pot.
