DE Harris
DE Howard
OG Crawford
DT Beckner
S Ross

All out for the Spring game.

Of particular concern is Crawford. His prognosis doesn't sound quite as encouraging. Had a lower back procedure and "hopes to be back" for fall camp.

Simply can't afford any injuries on the OL. I guess guard is deeper than tackle, but this would be a big blow if he doesn't progress well.

No. Honestly, I wouldn't count on him playing.

I heard he's down to about 230 lbs and has a long way to go to be eligible academically. Maybe he can get a med RS and play next year.

He hasn't even been practicing lately.

From what I've read, Brantley still has eligibility issues from missing so much class with the injury that that is the bigger concern. Health wise it seems like he should be ready for fall camp. Lots of work left to do for Brantley.

Hall says he is taking #1 snaps at SAM position over Newsome.

Either it's a message to Newsome, Hall is having a great spring, or the LB group is going to be very good.

Saw that. Wasn't hard to see that Hall was going to be a great player.

We look to be very deep at LB for sure.

This makes no damn sense at all.....he couldn't get his school work in order while recovering from the car crash?

I would agree if it was a football injury, but he was in car accident.

No one knows the details of his recovery so how can you judge? Car accidents are also sometimes hard to get over psychologically, especially with so much at stake for Harold and that he accidentally hurt someone else, which can't feel good.

It wasn't being judgmental......I was using common sense......IF a college student is involved in a car crash and they are laying around after their surgeries, how should they spend their time???? I'm thinking.......school work but that's just me I guess.

How is that college kid going to get around campus? Attend class? Unless he has someone pushing him around in a wheelchair

Ever hear of an iPad? Smartphone? A PC? You seriously don't need to physically be in class OR go to the library.

Some classes require attendance. I had some engineering and finance classes that you had to be in class while u was at Mizzou.

I would think most of the professors would cut some slack to someone that had been in a serious accident.

No excuse for Brantly getting behind in his academics.

Without knowing any details it's hard to say why he is behind or if it had anything to do with the accident.
