Is it a huge risk? No, but it's still there. Costs time, money, and a roster spot to sign someone. I just don't think it's worth it at this point. Might be another kid out there who could come in and help who is younger and has more potential.
"Relapses" on weed? Fuck, I don't think they even test for that anymore. [Reply]

Meh, I trust the FO and coaches to weigh those risks. Like I said, do or don't I'm fine. [Reply]

His drug problems go way beyond weed. He said he once passed out drooling in class from Xanax. He was a daily Adderall user for a while. He admitted to cocaine use. He's a pretty hard core drug addict.
Unlike some addicts he bounces back but as far as staying clean for any significant amount of time, he hasn't been able to do it so far... hopefully he will get clean long term eventually but we shall see.
Anyways, I don't think he is worth the risk at this point in his career. Better off signing some college kid. [Reply]
