Anyone hearing Walt Bell to FSU?

Apparently so, and David Kelly to coach WR's

 

[fahqu001]

Crazy. Way too young to die. Appreciate those in your life, you never know when you’ll see them again.

 

[elpablo21]

Damn

RIP

What’s this about Pruitt being caught on tape doing some dirty CROOTIN ???

 

[Bobby Layne]

Two teammates went to his apartment when he didn't show up for a workout and discovered the body.

Dang man R.I.P. way too young

 

[macbk]

You never know until you know R.I.P.

As someone who has suffered from mental health issues, don't be afraid to seek help, and suggest to someone to seek help if you know or see someone struggling.

My own personal beliefs and convictions - I've never believed that suicide is the route to take BUT that being said the hurt and confusion that young man must have been feeling can never be replicated or judged unless you have walked in their shoes.

What a terrible, terrible day for his friends and family. A kid who seemingly had it all right in front of him but in the end felt like he had nothing. Sad, sad day. My thoughts and prayers to the family affected.

 

[anomolie]

This is really sad man.

Yep... Hardest part is always recognizing you’re maybe beyond the point of righting the ship on your own.

Also, inevitably, someone will ask what role head injuries caused by football played in things.

Lane Kiffin reportedly hired 24-year-old Charlie Weis Jr., a person who was born in 1993, as FAU’s new OC

There's been two cases of HS age guys with CTE, but he still was pretty young to be experiencing the effects from something like that, and played a relativity low impact position.

The unfortunate thing is that even if his family wanted to know if he had it, the matter in which he died won't allow researchers to test his brain.

 

[Bobby Layne]

Tampering is going to be a HUGE problem

It's a step in the right direction though.

I'd prefer if they just allowed guys to leave whenever a HC gets fired/retires/leaves etc. You might get a lot of kids who decide to just bolt at the first sign of adversity with the rule as is proposed. At least restrict it to after a guys second year on campus.

 

[dacomeup]

All for the players having the freedom to move. This **** is going to be like the wild wild west. Kids not playing their freshman year and then immediately bouncing. Bama snagging whatever transfers they need to fill needs. Bag men are going to a new level with this.

 

[ThaxbyChamblis]

 

[elpablo21]

Would this apply to transfers this year
Eason in 2018?

FS is expecting former UTSA DC Pete Golding call plays on D next season for Bama, and Locksley to call plays on O. Surprised Xbox Tosh didn't get the nod.

 

[ThaxbyChamblis]

I'm not surprised Tosh didn't get the nod

Yeah I was thinking about the Ohio State player who committed suicide that had CTE, but I hadn't even considered that the gunshot would make it difficult/impossible to test for.
