He doesn't have to BE a rich athlete to act like one. He knows someday he will be a rich athlete, and in my opinion he got a jump start on the attitude that seems to go with it. If he's this much of a troublemaker now, just wait until he gets his first $8 million signing bonus.
You're right, some team like Arizona will probably draft him in the second or third round - because they need to risk a little bit in the hopes that he does become a superstar. But if I had to break out my crystal ball, Clarette is more likely to be the next Lawrence Phillips than the next Barry Sanders. I'm just guessing here, perhaps he will be great, and his attitude takes a complete 360. But if I was a bettin' man...
If I recall (going on memory, this may be incorrect), he could have changed schools, sat out this year of football, and began playing again next year. I really think that would have been the smartest way for him to go about it - since he was obviously sitting this year out anyway.
