This sure as hell is better for him than kicking him off the team.
Cam Lard Enrolled in Wellness Center
- Thread starter Dandy
- Start date
Whatever it is, it's going to be the best way to keep him on the straight and narrow this summer and part of the team this winter.
The fact that he's willing to do it seems like an encouraging sign that he wants to be better.

Great job out of him to have the wisdom to accept the advice people have given him and choose to go.
Not gonna lie though, the guy has consistently been suspended and stuff like that, so it's not like there is zero concern from a standpoint of him being a longtime player on the team.
IMO he can be the best pure big we've had at ISU in my memory.

He has a great talent and Coach Prohm was the only one to really stick with him through his academic issues. Coach is working hard to help Cam, hope it works out.
He had a pretty exciting year. Some kids in the early college career just need a reality check to level out and refocus on a future game plan.
Sometimes lawyers recommend this type of thing to be proactive before a court date. I’d imagine it’s similar to that type of thing. A couple hours a week where you talk in a group setting
Glad to see he is doing this, if that is what is needed.
Hopefully he will realize the tremendous potential he has as a player (and a person) and he will want that badly enough to change his habits. Good that his coaches and his mother are supporting him with this. Wish him luck.

The fact that Cam is willing to go through this, especially while being a public-figure, says a lot about his character.
The fact that Coach Prohm and Jamie Pollard care enough about Cam to help him through this says a lot about their character.
I hope Cam gets it all figured out and am thankful for the type of people we have leading our program/AD.

The charges were dropped. He has no court case on the horizon.
I don't know as if this is automatically a rehab situation. Lard clearly has struggled with making good choices since he got to ISU, and we as fans probably don't know a lot of things that have happened beyond him getting in legal trouble. He could be making bad choices in food, workouts, friends, etc. He certainly played with an Elmer Robinson level of inconsistency last year.
Couldn't be happier for Lard. Issues can be resolved with the right amount of time and effort; it's clear he's ready to put the effort in. That level of maturity will carry through the process. Even if it was more or less forced by the team, it's still a good thing that he chose to handle the issues instead of move on.
Reading the full press release, they have a quote from cam’s Mom.
