So its overrun by a bunch of Chads from "Chicago"?
Lol. That I don’t know, but probably. Definitely a lot of suburban Chicago wankers at Iowa, who all think they’re better than the other half of the guys who are not suburban Chicago wankers. And by “from Chicago” they mean all the way out to Rockford and Ottawa.

Good luck to Caleb! I hope he has a great year and can get his life back on track.
I wish him nothing but the best from this point forward, and I hope he conquers his demons.

That being written, living in a sh!thole, a$$ backwards, white trash filled state like Missouri would be very harmful for my own personal mental health, but to each their own...
As far as Missouri, the State goes, being kind when referring to others can go a long way, and can put you in a better position to discuss your views, political or otherwise. Name calling just begets hard feelings and hostility.

I'm not saying I disagree with you, (or agree either). I guess I just have a different way of seeing things. We're all human and can stand a good dose of improvement.

Was this just due to the fact he went home? Seems like transitions we could have helped with. Or was it he was just dropped from care after being dismissed?

After returning home after being dismissed, Grill lost access to the medical resources — mental and physical — in place with the Iowa State program. Back in his hometown, thanks to his community, that quickly was remedied.


His back injury required physical therapy, so he sought out a specialist he had seen when he was younger. Her schedule was full, but Grill said it took just one phone call for her to find time to see him. Some days she skipped her lunch breaks to work with him, he said.
He no longer was seeing a psychologist, but after mentioning that to a mentor from home, Grill soon was treated by one of “the best psychologists of Wichita,” he said, after phone calls fielded on his behalf. The same went for a sports doctor, when the physical therapist who wedged him in made calls to connect him with Wichita State’s team doctor.

Those are resources used for ISU student-athletes. Once he was kicked off the team, he was no longer a student-athlete at ISU.

He incurred the back injury playing here. Helping him with that just seems reasonable and logical.
The mental side would just be the humane thing to do. No need to make things worse for the kid along the way when he obviously needed some help.

I would assume a psychiatrist or psychologist would put a call into his new care team or give a name for him to go to at the very least. But I don't claim to know how kansas is for mental health treatment I'm assuming better than iowa
