Before a recent practice, I dispatched a photographer out to Chaminade. We needed a picture of linebackers Jordan Futch (Miami commitment) and Tarik Rollins together.
As they were about to pose, a member of the school's staff came up to both and told them they were not allowed to participate in the shoot. No, they were not being disciplined for behavior or anything like that. Instead, they were barred from the shoot because of facial hair. What???
Since neither player had a razor to shave, the shoot had to be compromised. Now, they both posed with their helmets under their chin. Members of the football staff apologized for the school's stance but said it was what it was.
So, when you see a picture in the coming weeks of Futch and Rollins with helmets under their chin and think it is a strange pose, now you know the reason.
that school is falling apart. If I know the admin the way I do, it is a stunt to look like they are cleaning things up. In reality, things are falling apart over there fast. Alumni are not supporting due to the admin and their recent actions. They need to replace them fast if they still want support from the alums.

If that is true, that would be sad. The program really enjoyed a resurgence over the past decade. Don't get me wrong and think I'm rooting for Chaminade. I just don't like to see any school take a step back.

hey, Guandolo left for a reason. Read between the lines. Why leave CM if things are not taking a turn for the worse? He had enough and got out. I hate to see it turn that way as well. Best of luck over there.

It's as much a sign of CM's demise as the future rise of Cypress.
