Lots of rumors, Basilio and others posting video and discussing it. But it doesn't sound like they know exactly.
Has he missed workouts and been late to team meetings?
Is money ruining some of these guys?

I like Basilio, but why bring it up on a radio show if you can't/won't elaborate?

My guess from everything that I have read (and it is a 100% guess): Somebody on the team (maybe more than one somebody) gave Boo a lesson in corporal punishment last week. He didn't take it well and left the facilities. As of now, he hasn't returned.
Why do I think this might be at least partially true? There was a cryptic post on VQ last week about someone falling on a helmet. The past several days, there have been posts from some members suggesting that the team has already dealt with Boo, very harshly. There were also early reports that the UTPD was involved in an investigation that might involve Boo.

Don't wanna lose him, but kinda cool if that's truly the culture in that locker room. That kinda thing would require some vocal leadership amongst the players.

Maybe you have been reading the same things and have more information as to "why", but if Boo got his ass beat, I would hesitate to say it was "cool' without knowing why, but maybe that's just me.  Or is there is a reason, what is it?

Just wondering if there were any details, but if he was him acting out of turn and it was corrected, then yes that is good. I do have a Boo story. I attended the OU UT game last year with a recent UT grad (nephew of my best friend from college), who attended Baylor in Chattanooga. Boo was at a different school (cant recall which) and tried to crash his sister's private birthday party, which was mostly people from her school (I think GPS?) students. Boo got word of the party and tried to crash it, and he told Boo to get lost. All of this was 4-5 years ago. FWIW.

IMO....Boo needs to get far far away from his posse and mother. If he stays this will just happen again. Kids a headcase....and gets it honest. It's inbred in him.

Josh on Boo: "Boo is a part of our team here. There?s some things that he?s got to accomplish to get back on the field with us. Don?t have a set timeline on that. Our leadership council has been a part of those things, those discussions with me and with Boo. I?m proud of what they?ve done. They care and love Boo and want him to be his best too.
?And through this, I think Boo sees that as well. And at the end of the day, us collectively continuing to grow here through the course of training camp, I will be the one that will handle taking questions on Boo. And that?s the day and here throughout the beginning part of training camp as well. But proud of how our team has handled those things and ultimately we?ll handle those things internally. I?m not going to get into details on everything.?

It's nothing new, and I'm not saying it's a bad thing necessarily.... but man our coach never says anything interesting.
