Gators-to-be: guns, g-signs, and enough cash to catch a movie

by burntorangehorn on Dec 17, 2009 3:52 PM CST

A couple of ~~proto~~typical Urban Meyer recruits were recently stars of their own social networking site pages, and they used the opportunity to obtain cred. Who wants to be a millionaire? Leon Orr does.

Photos after the jump.

So, facing this and the Dunlap issue, what's going to happen? And can Urban keep surviving all these player problems if he keeps ignoring them or just handing out slaps on the wrist, or is he bulletproof at this point?

"There are two pictures being rotated around the Internet, and I want to address that whole situation about them being gang-related," Orr told the St. Petersburg Times. "They’re not at all. They were done so long ago. I’m far from that. The pictures may look like that. But it was never meant to be perceived in that way. They were taken a long time ago before I knew I would be put in the spotlight. It was just me and a bunch of friends. It was never meant to be taken out of context and of me being in a gang. I know it looks bad, but at the same time it’s just a rap group. But that picture has nothing to do with anything. We started that group a long time ago. We were just a bunch of young, crazy kids. It was never about violence."

"I would like to apologize to the Gator Nation for these crazy accusations and the situation I’ve put myself in to be viewed as such a thing, which is completely untrue, while representing the University of Florida," Orr continued. "I want to let them know, I’ve grown up and been around violence and drugs all my life. I would never jeopardize the chance to better my living standards."

Nothing here, move on.

16-17 year old kids pretending to act tough. That really is all. Suggesting somehow that this makes them gangmembers is extracting a lot from not a lot of evidence.

Can only imagine

If all the idiotic things I did in high school were put out for all to inspect. Not. Good.

You ain't hurt.
