I do. Everything we had read about Cam before this was super-positive.  He comes from a good family and I remember Urban talking about him as one of the guys that does things the way they are supposed to be done.

Now, did he do something stupid and illegal - probably.  Will he be reinstated, don't know, but I think he will have a long list of conditions and if he can fulfill them, he can earn his way back on.

We don't know the whole story yet.  It could have been as simple as Cam bought a laptop cheap, not 'knowing' it was stolen.  Police knock on the door and Cam freaks and tries to hide the evidence. Stupid choices and naive thinking, but an experience that valuable teachings can come from.  Or, he could have broken into the apartment, took the laptop and was the sole instigator involved.  For that, he will be in big trouble.  Bottom line, it is his first run in with the law (that I am aware of) and through pre-trial diversion, etc. he will be back.

What he has lost by doing this is an SEC ring, potentially an BCS ring and he has made it that much more difficult to ever beat out Johnny for the starting spot.

Do you really think Cam will be reinstated? I haven't heard anything new since he was kicked off of the team.

I was really impressed with Marve during our game with them.  I thought he showed a lot of poise and incredible athletic ability.

Having said that, I don't think UF is the place for him.  First, he is in the same class as Brantley - both are redshirt freshmen.  If he cam to UF, he would have to sit out his sophomore year, then would have 2 years of eligibility left.  Meanwhile, Brantley would have one more year of situational experience or, god forbid, as start should Tebow leave.  If Marve can't win the starting job at UM, what makes him think he would win it here?

Second, I am not sure Marve would fit in with Meyer's philosophy.  He has a reputation as something less than the 1% of the 1%, never met him, don't know him, but seems like he has enough baggage for us to not want him.  Also, much of his current situation at UM has been brought on by his father.  Apparently, his father was totally PO'd that his son had to sit out the first game as a suspension from an incident that happened last year.  This has created turmoil all season and has resulted in his son asking for a transfer. 

When you have parents involved, it usually isn't a good thing (see - Portis, Mustain and now Marve), unless of course the only time you see or hear about the parents is when they are in the stands cheering.

I can't see UF taking him.  We have Tebow, hopefully, for one more year.  Then you will have Cam who would be a senior and Johhny as a junior.  I think we would have more valuable uses for that scholly.

I was asking myself the same question. Doesn't he have either negative disciplinary or academic baggage? I must admit, I don't really keep up with non-SEC players.
