Curious omission in GV's preseason MM interview

[RatherwatchD2]

Did I miss something? In yesterday's preseason review with Matt Mitchell, when they discussed the running back group, nary a mention of Chawntez Moss, our leading rusher from last year, who last I checked had another season to go. Please tell me it's a bad interview or bad editing and not some 'academic issue/transfer/he's no longer here' kind of thing.

He's on the 2019 roster for whatever that's worth.

Yes, but he isn't mentioned in the post that was just put on the website about the key returning players at each position.

Didn't even notice until I saw this post.

However, I'm not that worried about it. Provencher and Young-Walls are both excellent.

Definitely, Provencher reminds me of Smolen and may be needed in passing game this year. Young-Walls has promise just never know with the time off. Moss was the clear leader, but something appears to have gone awry there.

Nothing awry...just may not be available this year.

I wonder if Reid gets many snaps. He had a lot of great press in HS. Come on September!

Nothing awry? When your leading returning rusher isn't even mentioned, but is on the roster, something has gone awry. What went awry is the question, not if something went awry.

"Awry", to my ear, implies that he misbehaved, was kicked off the team, transferred, was ineligible, etc. Not my story to tell, except that nothing that I or other posters had characterized as "awry" is true.

"Away from the appropriate, planned, or expected course; amiss."

That would definitely translate into something being awry. This is one of the downfalls of Division II compared to the power 5 teams. Communication revolving around starting players playing or not is nonexistent. You don't know if someone is playing or not until you either do or don't see them on the field on game day. Much of that has to do with the lack of interest from the media, so there isn't anyone pressing for answers. Grand Valley has its own network and the local media only gives the team post-game results coverage.

Here is a thought...maybe the kid is injured and he is doing great in school. Schools generally don't go into details on injuries these days. I don't know why everyone always thinks the worst about a player.

Who's thinking the worst of the player? Thinking it's odd that he's not mentioned as a returning starter by the athletic department's post as well as the head coach doesn't mean we're assuming he isn't doing well in school or did something to get booted. Asking the question of "where is our starting running back?" isn't the same as saying "our star running back isn't listed. He must have messed up somehow."
