There was an article back in August about him actually giving football another shot, but at a community college in New York City. Not sure why exactly he would go full circle, but oh well, right? 

Harris' words from the article:

"I can go back to college if I want to but it's not like...I'm not gonna go and shame the name of MSU football by being a Division I athlete and then rapping about what I rap about. You can't do that. If I went up there they would not allow me to rap the way I rap, they would not allow me to do the things I do. It's just natural, people forget that it doesn't work that way. It's not like I can just go up there and play football and rap. It doesn't work like that."

How is that safety's "music career" going?  USC has people like Snoop promise to get recruits "into the business" if they sign with USC.  Someone needs to ask recruits how many rappers and hip hop artists played football at USC and actually got what Snoop promised them.  

I am guessing the answer is "zero."

Sources say his commitment was contingent upon Datbull getting housing inside a community with a yellow pipe gate and a shed to cram a bunch of old couches in. Fo life fo fo life

Good, amidst everyone making fun of MSU, I felt sick to my stomach for that kid passing up playing football and a free education to "rap." Glad to see he's going back to football.

Why?? An 8 year old should know that was a stupid fricking decision, let alone a 17 year old. And even though he went back to football he still potentially f'd up his future by winding up at western instead of State where he would have learned to be a good player and gotten more exposure. Although if he's dumb enough to do what he did he probably wouldn't have gotten very far anyway. No sympathy.

I'm guessing record companies weren't knocking down his door.

I would love to see a Where are They Now? 10 years from now featuring the whole crew in the video.

I agree with you that posters should generally be extremely wary of making fun of 17 year olds.

However, there is a big difference between commenting on someone's appearance or their decision of where to attend college, and commenting on their open misogyny, drug use, and general douchiness.  It's tough to watch a video featuring the subject himself endorsing rape and comical thuggishness while constantly smoking blunts and still say "I have no comment on that young man's character."
