Tyrie Cleveland in the news lately:

There was a thread already about this somewhere...but yes, it appeared as though we pushed hard for this guy.  If I remember correctly, (WARNING...rumor to follow) his family wanted him out of Houston in order to get away from some bad influences.  This could be a total Hogville rumor, but I do remember that discussion here.

Regardless, looks like he could have benefited from some CBB behavioral modification.

I think we had him was surprised he chose Florida

As I recall the word was that he was the opposite of the CB from Louisanna, his family was on board for Arkansas but after he decommitted from Houston he chose Florida on signing day.

Didn't realize there was already a post. My bad. But I forgot that he was the one who flipped from Houston.

I think I remember they didn't want him in Florida either as there was some type of family that was/is a bad influence. That was his connection that helped draw him to Florida, if I'm not just totally making ish up right now

Maybe he was the bad influence?

Shooting and causing minor damage via BB guns...lol. Dumb..but sounds a little trivial at first glance.

If they were gonna rack up some felony charges they may as well have gone all out and do something worth their while vs the BB gun thing.

This is the 3rd thread started about this. And, btw, Id still take Cleveland right now. We dont have anyone like him on the roster. Also, Id be willing to bet he wouldnt be soung stupid crap like this at Arkansas

Yeah, not a smart move on the young man's part, but not worthy of a new thread every other day.

[ChicoHog]

The guy he got arrested with is a long time friend he grew up with in Florida I think before moving to Houston when he was in Jr high or High school.  His friend got a schollly to UF also and was one of the reasons Cleveland chose the Gators.

yeah the people on this board are pretty much up to date on articles and what not. if an article is 5 days old, its a safe bet that there's already been a discussion started.

It's a BB gun. It was stupid yes, immature yes, could have hurt someone yes. But this isn't exactly telling of a kid having bad character.

I hope someone else posts another thread about Tyrie Cleveland without reading the other threads about Tyrie Cleveland.

I agree. Especially since (as of yesterday) UF has apparently decided not to do anything in particular concerning this situation.

[pigture perfect]

Now who is Tyrone Cleveland?

[Pig in the Pokey]

NOW you see why the aunt wanted him up on The Hill and cried when he picked florida...

[secneahog]

Arkansas came in 3rd in his recruitment.  I remember reading a article, where basically Tyrie named who was what and we was 3rd.

3rd? Guess we better give up football

Waldron Hog got in trouble for shooting at squirrels with a blow gun at Tech

[Oklahawg]

At one point we were the leader for Cleveland. The lure of his friend was strong. I think the Dad lived near UF and that was a factor that the Houston-based family was not excited about.

BB gun is not a huge issue but in today's world I'd not want to have any gun in my hand just to be safe.

Looks like #Gators WR Tyrie Cleveland lost his jersey number. He was No. 2 on Florida's media guide at SEC Media Days. Now listed as No. 89.

Not correct.  UF has taken corrective measures for the BB gun caper.  School officials have confiscated the BB gun, & issued Cleveland a 22 rifle, &  empty bottles to use as targets for practice.

Freshman WR Cleveland catching on - via @Gator_sports http://www.gatorsports.com/article/20161015/ARTICLES/161019967/1217?Title=Freshman-Cleveland-catching-on ...

Jim McElwain had been encouraged by freshman wide receiver Tyrie Cleveland's approach in practice over the past two weeks.

That work paid off in UF's 40-14 homecoming win Saturday against Missouri. Cleveland caught his first career touchdown pass and finished with a team-high 79 yards receiving on three catches.

"He's a talented guy," McElwain said. "He's a great person, he's a great kid. Struggling with those injuries and then the learning curve being behind a little bit. You know, this is gonna be a really important week for him as well as he continues to just to kind of grow into that offense and really get another true, big-time threat on the other side from Antonio (Callaway)."

Cleveland was suspended from UF's season opener after being arrested over the summer with teammate Rick Wells in a BB gun shooting incident at an on-campus dorm. The 6-foot-2, 196-pound speedster from Houston, Texas, also dealt with hamstring injury issues early in the season.
