Maybe these kids came in with problems, maybe they didn't, but there was zero talk about issues with Sean or Kam prior to their injuries. Seems to me that we have players with a long term injuries getting bored, maybe depressed, and self-medicating and no one is keeping an eye on that until they try to come back to the field and it's already a big problem. It's not like drug use among the players is new territory for Auburn, it played a big part in blowing up the team in 2012. We should know how to deal with it productively. I might be wrong about all, but I'm pretty sure that many of the athletes at Auburn University are provided with excellent psychological services from an outside firm.

Maybe not on public AUF forums because we have rules on not posting stuff w/out a link, especially on something like this but as I'm sure has already been reiterated, the talk was there. So, if I read you right... if AUF will do away with those pesky rules we can ALL be informed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Goodlet, nor none of the medical staff, is responsible for a kid choosing to do his best Cheech & Chung impersonation on a daily basis.

That tells me when a player is on the field, the coaches keep them in check, but when they aren't, they are allowed to spin out of control. Which is extra disturbing considering the dangers of mixing recreational drugs with pain meds. I would advise gathering real information before jumping to such outrageous, misinformed opinions.

BJCrawford 1,568 Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 I say we make a list of players who had injuries.....but stayed the course and did what they needed to to get back on the field......KJ, Dinson, Lawson to name a few; and if there was ever any player you could understand getting so down about their health that many would understand if they went in that direction ......shon Coleman.
