I hope they have a line that can block & if we do be sure everyone else down field knows it's up to them to block too

Santiago was the only soph listed as a first team All American by STATS.

Not sure where all this talk about Grady no longer with the program is coming from.  As of this past week, he was enrolled in school, had an apartment and was participating workouts.

With a restraining order?

Can it be Wednesday already so this Grady stuff can be finalized once and for all?

Good point. But I will believe Grady is done for good when I hear it from Bubba himself.

Personally I love what Bubba is doing here. Will Grady be back, will he not. Oh he's back on the roster ... Now he is gone! Guy is a genius, he has the whole Big Sky guessing and confused. What a mastermind!

Seriously though, losing Grady blows, but if he can't be committed after multiple chances .... the goodbye. I personally hopes he figures it out, sounds like he has had a rough time, but to be on the team you still need to be committed. Good luck to the kid, whether it is in a UND uniform or not.

Depression is nothing to scoff at. If he's struggling with it or something similar to it that could really explain the way this past year has unfolded for him and some of the choices he's made that to people on the outside seem ill-advised. I hope that whatever help he needs he gets.

Yeah, I hadn't read the depression piece until after my last post. I do wish the kid the best, hopefully he  finds the right way to cope with it. I still hope he can stay, but if not ... best of luck to him, as long as he isn't at NDSU

I agree and hope the best for Elijah.

Earlier in this thread, the reservation was to blame and in some ways so was Grady.

None of us knows what's really going on here, so it seems prudent to be careful about our assumptions.

That said, I don't see any of this as meaning he's definitely out. Am I wrong?

That is the point I was making earlier. We don't know until we all know.

He is not coming to camp.  Let it go and focus on the OL we got.

The players are all people . . . with lives . . . not just guys with numbers on their helmets.  I hope that each and every guy on that team can keep it together.

And from what I know of Bubba, those that may have some issues have some good support there if they need / want it.
