Good thing we have all that RB depth...

Every news site has this press release:
Unga, Moeaki to Withdraw from School

PROVO, Utah (April 16, 2010) — Two BYU student-athletes—football player Harvey Unga and women's basketball player Keilani Moeaki—today announced they have decided to withdraw from school. Both students have made the decision to withdraw as a result of a violation of the BYU honor code.

Unga, a 6-foot, 237-pound running back, is the school's all-time leading rusher with 3,455 yards gained over his first three seasons in the Cougar backfield. He led the Mountain West Conference in rushing last year while garnering first-team All-MWC honors after a third consecutive 1,000-yard season.

"I fully support Harvey and his decision regarding his personal situation," BYU football coach Bronco Mendenhall said. "The possibility of not having Harvey on the field in the fall would certainly have an impact on our team, but my main concern right now is in supporting Harvey."

Moeaki, a 6-foot-2 forward, has started in 67 of 91 games in three seasons. She averaged 4.4 points and 2.2 rebounds while starting all 33 games this past season, helping BYU advance to the quarterfinals of the WNIT.

"Keilani has been a valuable contributor to our team the past three years," BYU women's basketball coach Jeff Judkins said. "She has my support while she takes time to address some important personal matters."

"Both students have made the decision to withdraw as a result of a violation of the BYU honor code. "

Were Unga and Keilani Moeaki dating??? Even though it's non of my business, but this is my first assumption. Looks like Harvey will declare for the draft now...

All we should do at this point is take the higher road, as Bronco has done, and offer our prayers and support as they deal with the consequences of their decisions.

In our season opener against OU last year...

When I first learned that Harvey would not be playing against OU(because of not being healthy), I was heart broken. Thought, with our running game gone... We're doomed against OU.

Then Bryan Kariya stepped up to the challenge and shocked everyone including all die hard BYU fans. I don't question our depth at running back and that we are more than fully capable of replacing anyone at any position AND also to continue excellence(just like how our next QB will just as good as Max Hall).

BUT... I wish Harvey all the best and hope he can continue to be successfull in the future whatever that may be.

Hopefully there is a silver lining here, bronco mentions "possibility" of not having harvey on the field, maybe if he takes care of what needs to be done he can come back

I'm just a regular, everyday normal guy,
I can't afford a car, I use public transportation,
I don't mind, I read till I reach my destination,
sometimes a newspaper, sometimes a book,
the money I save, this stuff is off the hook,

Dave Fox at the beginning of the news on Ch 2 was going over the options that Harvey now has.. One of them was that there is a possibility he could re enroll in school before the season? Is that true? or even possible?

They have been dating for a long time. In fact, I thought they were engaged, although I could be wrong about that.

Yes they were engaged before, but their relationship was on again/off again. I just thought they didn't have anything to do with each other anymore.
