Taylor was kicked off Georgia's team in late July after being arrested on a charge of felony aggravated assault and family violence. From the AJC at the time, police said evidence and witness accounts say Taylor choked and struck his girlfriend several times with a closed fist.

It was Taylor's second arrest at Georgia this year, as he was charged with theft by deception for double-cashing meal reimbursement checks. He accepted a pretrial diversion, but his arrest in July violated that, according to the Athens Banner-Herald....

Well, IF he enrolls in Jan. he will either get his act together real fast or he'll be gone by the end of summer (if not sooner.)

A bit surprising to me.

One thing about such issues; always 2 sides to a story (or more).  I'll bet our coaches have heard both by now.

Just remember the "concerns" that everyone had when we heard that Coach Saban had hired Coach Kiffin...That turned out alright so far IMO.  I trust Coach Saban with this as well and if this kid wants to act in T-town like he did at UGA he won't be here very long anyways...

Was Kiffin convicted of any crimes or choke out a woman? Just wondering.

Are we that desperate for talent?

Are we turning into the Barn?

I have no idea.  However, I do trust that Coach Saban and his staff have fully done their due diligence to make sure he is the kind of person that can and will do what is expected of him as a student athlete for Alabama...

You have no idea if Kiffin has choked out a woman like Taylor and has other crimes on his resume'? Really? Wow!

I wasn't available to review Kiffin's resume last year.  Sorry about that.    

Why not trust Coach Saban in all of his decisions?  Not every player he recruits will be 5-star, All-American's with shining resumes as we have seen in recent years.  Weren't there four players that he kicked off the team a couple of years back?  Guess what?  One of those is back on the team.  There is a reason for that and I feel there is a good reason that Saban decided to recruit this kid.  I have no problems with it at this point.
