McElwain Grier's Presser

[ATXGator]

Grier took an OTC supplement that had something in it on the NCAA list

 

[ATXGator]

Grier will not play this week or the near future

 

[ATXGator]

Honest mistake, could be prevented by checking with medical staff

 

[ATXGator]

Will coming to podium now

 

[ATXGator]

Basically saying same things... took OTC, didn't check with medical staff. He seems pretty dejected... as he should

 

[ATXGator]

Wants people to learn from his mistake... really sorry... sounds like he is choking up

 

[ATXGator]

McElwain says he learned about it yesterday.

 

[ATXGator]

As a University they will appeal this and support Will and his family.

 

[ATXGator]

"We move forward from here... this means next guy up"

 

[ATXGator]

Talking about LSU now

 

[ATXGator]

Grier can still practice

 

[ATXGator]

It sounds like Florida may be able to appeal the length of the suspension

 

[TN G8tr]

Thanks for the update ATX

 

[ATXGator]

Mac talked up LSU a lot. Said that based on how we tackled against LSU Fournette should run for 300 yards.

 

[ATXGator]

Mac also said that obviously there is a leak and he is OK with that, but leak the right things. The kid and his family should have known first and this is about them before anybody else. Said he didn't find out until Sunday.

That's all folks.

One observation is how amazing McElwain is with the media. No matter what the question is he owns and takes control of the message. WE are lucky to have him.

Thanks for these updates. Hopefully the suspension will be reduced so he can come back later this season, but I'll be happy if he can at least play all of next season.

I think best hope is that he can play next season for the whole season... I don't see anyway the suspension is reduced allowing him to play this year.

But without this OTC product, what does he physically look like next year?

Grier will take a different one and just like with ligandrol, the salesman will promise it won't show up on the tests.
Wait, did Grier buy it from a New Orleans lab ?
