I am not ashamed of my journey. My life will be a testimony. But if I could offer a word of advice to any freshman, sophomore or junior athlete in high school it would be to just listen bro. All them adults in your life not just talking to talk. They been here longer. They done bumped they head already. They trying to save you from doing the same thing. Do not make the mistake of thinking your talent alone is enough. It’s not. Talent open doors. Character and grades keep you there. And if you already messed up, if your GPA not where it should be, if your name been in rooms for the wrong reasons… don’t quit. Keep digging. You can climb out the hole the same way you dug it. Class of 29, 28 and 27 hear me. Take your grades serious.
Choose who you hang around wisely.
Protect your name. Word spreads fast if you a crash out.
Respect authority. Nobody riding for you like your parents and coaches.
Work hard when nobody clapping. Do not wait until senior year to lock in. That GPA do not lie. I’m still figuring it out myself. I’m struggling but I know God got me. Be intentional.
Lock in early. Pray. Show up ready to work. I’m learning the hard way that my future is being built in the small decisions I make today. Start now.

@ChipotleTweets this is insane. Found a piece of GLASS in my bowl today, chewed it up and all. Got refunded $9 out of the $13 I payed for this, oh, and the manager didn't even offer me a new meal. Pretty disgusting that this happened, sickening that this isn't handled correctly

Falling in love with a place is like hunger, but satisfaction. There is a constant desire for more; all you can think about is seeing more and embracing it. The adventure consumes you. Forever in debt to my favorite place on earth @MerrimackMIH @coachborek @Merrimack

That will just never make sense to me. There could be others. As far as I know, there are only two hockey players affected by this. Merrimack men’s player Jordan Seyfert and St. Cloud women’s player Courtney Hall. They should both have had their waivers approved by the @NCAA.

Good for Theodore for winning his waiver. This is also the exact point I was making earlier this summer re: Jordan Seyfert, whose waiver was denied by the @NCAA . It’s the same situation, but Seyfert got hurt in the wrong season, I guess? That’s the only difference.
Former AIC/Union forward Chris Theodore has had a medical hardship waiver approved. He'll play this season at Vermont out of the portal. Theodore had 13pts for Union last year and 29pts for AIC two seasons ago.

Crushed by a decision made that totally changes my future. Wanted it for something bigger than myself. My family, students, and most importantly the school. This place instilled love into my heart like no other. Unfortunate people look at paper/games played over having a heart

Taking away a kids final year cause he played x amount of games? What are we talking about. Kids given his heart and soul to MC. He deserves that last year

This really needs to be pressed to the NCAA. Our daughter missed the entire season to back surgery while her teammates at St. Cloud and most of the NCAA women’s teams played and a National Champion was crowned. The season existed and is in the record books.

Same exact situation with me. I completely missed the 2020-2021 season due to having back surgery. My team played 25+ games while I played zero. No additional year given to me, while my teammates got an extra year. Doesn’t feel right at all, however, the NCAA does not care.

That's where it feels like Seyfert slipped through the cracks. Had he missed any of his other seasons, he would have been able to obtain a medical redshirt. But because it was 2020-21, he can't. Something about that doesn't feel right to me.

Seyfert missed the entire 2020-21 season due to an injury, but he can't obtain a medical redshirt for that year under the guidelines the NCAA used to grant a fifth year of eligibility. Essentially, players don't get a 5th year. They just don't count 2020-21.

But I do feel for those players who won't get it because a) their team chose not to play or b) they were hurt and can't redshirt that year because the NCAA considers it having not happened. Not their fault. Also feel for the 01s, 02s, 03s who have had recruiting impacted.

From a player standpoint (current players) the issue with the 5th year is that not everyone gets it. Essentially, the NCAA considers the 2020-21 season as having not existed. Which, it did. Clearly. They awarded a national championship.

Something the NCAA didn't consider when adding the 5th COVID year. 1) What about players from Ivies or other schools that didn't play in 2020-21. They don't get a 5th year. Just unlucky? 2) What about a player whose team DID play but missed the 2020-21 season due to injury?
