You are bound to hear about it and see it soon, I won't post it, just know that it's probably not really him, and we don't know what happened before the video, and we don't know why the owner of the video waited so long to spread it, and through a known troll SEC twitter account...

It's all very bizarre but nothing to worry about, it's probably not him, and it's just kids doing kid stuff, not a big deal, and is probably just a big misunderstanding.


UPDATE- IT's fake news. It was a scuffle with one of his team mates, nobody was brutalized or severely beaten, and nobody was mentally handicapped. It was pure bullshite. As I said above, kids doing kid stuff, just a big misunderstanding.

I would assume any level of this is taken out of context but it definitely looked like him in the video. However he picked the kid up and dragged him a few times. Never slammed him. Never hit him.

No part of me believes that this happened over a year ago and is just now getting out the first time. It’s not a good look but if Pickens received discipline for it in high school idk why we would have to double enforce that.

Let's not get carried away by what gets posted on SECrant and some random twitter. No way I'm rushing to judgment until it hits other sources

I'm not saying it's him either way, but if it's not he needs to sue the frick out of the owners of that Twitter page.

I know it's a parody account, but this one is different. It could seriously affect Pickens moving forward if it's proven to not be him.

However, if it is him, then he's gotta prepare for the shite storm that's about to come his way.

It's not as bad as the Rant is making it out to be, but in today's society bullying is a huge issue.

ETA: The Twitter account just added this below the video:

So IF it was him...


This happened in HS so it didn’t happen between graduation and present. If the HS didn’t discipline him then it’s not UGA’s problem.

He never hit the kid

Non story.

2019: where people will go back and find shite from your past to get you in trouble today. Hell even Eddie Murphy is having to apologize for his stand-ups from 40 years ago!

Eddie Murphy doesn’t have to do anything unless he’s a pussy. He should be more like Dave Chappelle if that’s the case.

It was allegedly a special needs kid. That’s the deal.

It’s not good, but it did happen before he was at UGA. It’s why the Pats kept Antonio Brown until he did something wrong when he was on the team.

Obviously if true, it’s a really crappy thing to do, but jumping to conclusions at this tiny video, with no context from this random parody Twitter is not a reason to dismiss someone.

Hoover is like 65% white kids right? That video looks like a predominately black high school.

Looks like they were playing football. No punches thrown.

I didn't say anything in the secr thread bc the looneys in there would have a field day but I agree...he's done everything right while at UGA, why should we punish him for something that happened before he got here? Daniel hood raped his cousin with a plunger and Tennessee still accepted him and that's waaaay more fricked up.

I’m not jumping to conclusions, I was just disgusted by FlexDawgs comment that “IF it was true” (Pickens beating up a special needs kid) that it is not a problem and a non story.

Don’t know if it’s him in the video or not, but I trust our program to look into it. We’ll know for real soon enough.

It was a mentally handicapped kid, allegedly, so if it’s legit, it’s messed up and IDK what to do about it.

I don’t know if you HAVE to kick him off the team, considering it is something that allegedly happened in high school, but the optics would be too bad not to do something IMO.

Well he all but confirmed it on his IG story. Basically says we don’t know the story...picture of the two with the other kid tagged.

Don’t know what to make of it.

Exactly. I saw someone compare it to Banks at Tennessee, which is absurd. One did it at the university. It’s the reason Holloman was dismissed.
