You've got guts, kid. Don't give up. Don't give in.

Find a passion and just work at it. Don't stop!

Wish the best of luck for you. Things don't always work out in life but follow your dreams! Your young and if football doesn't work out there are other great things out there!

This young man needs someone to be honest with him.

Lawyers, has to be lawyers. I believe Rhule had every intention of letting Ricardo fulfill his dream of being a college football player, but at some point lawyers were made aware of the situation and put a stop to it. I'm sorry it didn't work out for you RB.

This may not be relevant, but I wonder if there are NCAA eligibility issues because of the crowd-funding.

Do you think that it had anything to do with it?

So Baylor reaches out to you (Benitez), and this is how you thank them? Good riddance!

He could not really expect to play football. With one hit he would have been killed. Not living in the real world. That said...I wish him well.

I wanted to workout with the team, and provide motivation through the workouts. I did not want to play in any games, or scrimmages, or 11 on's. I said that in the written twitter post, and YouTube Video.

Okay. I will miss Baylor, and Waco so much. I loved both places so much.

I have observed your story from afar for several years. From what I've seen, you are an inspiration to people and a positive example to others. What comes across as damaging and resentful towards Baylor Football is using words like "betrayed", "degrading", "all for publicity". Maybe that's just the pathetic Dallas Morning News putting their negative spin on the story who knows? I wish you the very best and nothing but success in the future!

RB, I'm sure you are also aware that hundreds, maybe thousands, of aspiring football players around the country are cut (or do not make) football teams....at all levels. You are one of many. I am also one, from back in the day.

The reasons for a player not making a team are many. Medical is only one. I understand your emotion as there are hundreds, maybe thousands, of other aspiring players that have encountered the same closed door. But true character in a football player is in getting back up and pushing on when knocked down rather than lamenting the closed door, or personally attacking those that closed it.......or knocked you down.

Although I do not understand your particular goals or what you hope to achieve with attacking the Baylor program and individuals within it, I do know that it is highly unusual for a player who does not make a particular program to do so publicly like this. There is no value in it. There are many other football programs around the country, at various levels, and I want to encourage you to look at and see every one of those as the opportunity. See, your opportunities far out weight the closed doors.

God's speed to you.
