Ouch.  Things don't get easier.  The Blade has the four players suspended.  The University is not commenting for "privacy" reasons, but The Blade has confirmed who they are.  Coach Loeffler has his presser today and we will see what he says.

Three are redshirt seniors--Isaiah Johnson-Mack, Ty Redding and Rodell Rahmaan.  R-SO Noah Massey was also included.

Of course, we have no idea what happened.  It becomes part of the story of trying to rebuild this program, which has been obviously difficult and going to continue to get better.  

Maybe they will be back.  Seems not likely, but they aren't listed as dismissed.

In specific, we started the season with a paucity of seniors and three of them were just suspended.  We started thin at WR and one of our better ones was just suspended.  Also, three of them played on an already strapped defensive unit.

All four of the players came here under Coach Jinks.

• Johnson-Mack was a WR at Oregon Washington State and had some big numbers.  Transferred here, seemed like a big deal but never got traction at WR and was moved to DF and then LB.
• Ty Redding is a DB whose brother played here at WR and had some training camp time in the NFL.
• Rodell Rahmaan transferred to BG from Urbana, and was a WR and then moved to defense.
• Noah Massey is from Houston and was prominently featured in the offense.

I guess I'm supposed to comment.  We're trying to build a culture and to develop young men into adults.  There have to be standards.  I'm not a zero-tolerance guy, but I do trust Coach Loeffler to be doing what is right for the program and being fair to the young men involved.

It's a bit of a cliche, but we are in a "trust the process" mode.
