From all accounts the kid has a lot on his plate, which includes his Dad having cancer. I read something earlier that as recently as a couple days ago he had to have surgery to address it and it wouldn't surprise me in the least if whatever happened stemmed from that.

His dad had surgery for colon cancer yesterday. Dad was also his coach growing up and through high school. I'm sure that is playing a role in his poor play on the field.

Mauk and his roommate were both suspended. Don't know if they're connected, but it seems possible if not likely. There are rumors about Mauk and recreational pharmaceuticals, but he hasn't been arrested. We have a freshman who was better than Mauk in camp, and plays in every game - moves the offense too. A picture starts to take shape, but whether it's the right conclusion? Who knows?
