If I'm being brutally honest, I still want him to come here but only to help draw in recruits.

He's like the least exciting WR prospect we have.

There was more going on than just the weed.


If I had to guess, I'd say that his head is too big. Partying, slacking in the classroom and not putting in the work on and off the field. California kid with a famous last name comes to small town USA and feels like a big fish in a small pond and celebrity status.

What he fails to realize is that at the end of the day, nobody gives a shit if you aren't putting in the work. Sooner or later you will be exposed for what you are. A fraud

I'm really interested to see how Jr responds to this. Being humiliated in public by your high profile father can't feel all too good for an 18 year old kid.

But if he buckles down and takes it on the chin and comes back, I'll have nothing but respect for him.

Refreshing to hear Sr's comments. If his last name was Ball or Winston I'm sure this would have been the University's fault.

Johnson explains why he pulled son from Nebraska - ESPN Video



I can appreciate his parenting, but damn how would you like to be KJJR right now with your Dad going on ESPN to talk about yanking you out of school.

Two way street here.

I am with Dad on this one. Sometimes tough love is needed.

How do you think his Dad feels knowing that his son probably fucked up his grades and hangs out with the wrong crowd? Dad is a public figure trying to build his businesses. He very well could have been talking how kids and athletes can screw up their lives by doing stupid things as part of his business pitch. Lo and behold, then his offspring does the same stuff that he has been saying to his clients NOT TO DO.

If KJJ makes it back, gets his academics in order, plays football or not, in about 12 years, KJJ will realize this was the best thing his Dad could have ever done for him at the time.

We all have made mistakes, KJJ needs to learn from this. Do not pull a Randy Dumbshit Gregory career move.

I cannot argue this one bit. KJJR embraced the limelight and spotlight that came with his last name. With that you also have to accept the "more public" consequences that come with your actions because of your last name.

I never liked the guy as a player. (I couldn't tell you why, tho.) I have a ton of respect for him as a man and father. He's doing it right.

My kids always knew if they did wrong in public not to be surprised if I addressed it in public. If you don't mind embarrassing me I don't mind embarrassing you.

edit: In this situation with all the opposing views of what he should have done, even more reason to address it publicly.

I agree with all of you and agree with his parenting. If KJJR's dad wasn't Keyshawn Johnson however, none of this would be getting the attention it is.

But again, he embraced the spotlight. If you like the spotlight when things are good then you better be prepared to accept the spotlight when things are bad.
