This is the third time he has been dismissed from a program (2X at LSU). See below for the circumstances of the first two.


This is the third time that a program has dismissed Valentine in the past 19 months. After the 2014 ESPN 300 honoree sat out his freshman season while waiting to be cleared academically, former LSU coach Les Miles kicked Valentine off the team in July 2015 before he ever appeared in a game. He was subsequently dismissed at Arizona Western College only a few months after his arrival.

Valentine claimed to have gotten his act together during a six-month stint at Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College, prompting Miles' staff to offer him a second chance last summer.

Why invite trouble. Three strikes seems to apply. I hope we don't feel like we have to do things just to get warm bodies. That isn't how I would want to build a program.

While we're sitting on our high moral horse, somebody is going to bring him into the fold, might as well be us. Short leash and everyone knows it. There is no downside and anything he contributes would be gravy.

Those teams from the 90s,that everyone wants to always bring up, werent filled with a bunch of choir boys.

Best teams have a bit of an edge, a little bit of "thug".

Do we know why he was dismissed 3X? Maybe he wasn't living the thug life, but the can't get out of bed on time life.
