Collins' roster spot seems to be in limbo at the moment.

He's chosen to leave the school, at least for now. Will Geoghegan had the story for the Independent on Tuesday.

Collins-OK I get the concussion and homesickness thing. Being on the bench,he is very naive.
Where can a RB transfer to and be guaranteed a starting job?
There offense will have to get more people involved-change of pace,fatigue,etc..
He may have gotten some touches? I think Cooper missed a game last year?
Gave up too early. Also,heard kid from Hendricken left (TE)-could not handle the level of competition.

You may know more then me about the situation, but my impression from Coach's quote was he was sitting on the bench because of the Concussion, which didn't allow him to play. It sounds like he had a decent amount of playing time in the scrimmage, so maybe being hurt and not playing due to the injury made the homesickness worse. Entirely speculation on my part.

Depression is common among those suffering from a concussion. It wouldn't be a surprise then that his being homesick would be greatly amplified after suffering the concussion, leading to this type of action.

Rhowdy-Bos-agreed.

Too bad,could have used him. We need play makers. URI had RB named little guy Mike Sanders in 84 who could come in and make it happen when defense tired. In 85-there were really play makers at RB-Doug Haynes,Brian Morris,Dave Morrill and Chris Poirer before he got hurt. Guys who were RBS in 83 and 84 were moved to other positions or buried! They played a 1-back offense!
This stuff happens though.
