Stanley....

[NewHampshireIrish]

Anybody have any insights into what happened w/ him regarding the captaincy?

It was awkward on Showtime, BK didn't say much......any idea?

Kelly's quote:

"I'd prefer not to [explain why Stanley could not be a captain]," Kelly said. "I think that's something between myself and our team. I think it was unfortunate that that got out. Here's what I will say: I can tell you that I have no problem with Ronnie representing our football team. His integrity and his character is not in question here. It's strictly, I would say that we had something here that was such that I had to back away from him. I think you guys can read into that. He's still a captain in our minds in terms of how he handles himself"

Maybe he is quiet?

Does Ronnie Stanley have an invisible girl friend?

Did not stop Teo from being captain.

Maybe he isn't so tight with all his team mates.

Some guys just aren't comfortable with being a captain. If he knew it wasn't the right fit for him, then he did the right thing not accepting that role.

My guess is that he planned to leave the team and head into the draft last year. It took BK and JS to visit and convince (beg) him to come back this year. He may feel he let the team down with deciding to bail on them last year.

That's never stopped anyone from being named captain.

it seems reading between the lines that Stanley did or didnt do something that caused BK to question whether or not he could be a leader of the team. He says, "they still view him as a leader" so its not that he's quiet, so who knows what it was, but clearly something happened and BK backed away from naming him a captain.

My thoughts, after seeing this, are that Stanley declined the offer. I didn't read it as Kelly's decision. I could be misinterpreting it though.

The school has to approve the Captains. They did not. Not a big deal.

Coming back was the best decision he has made in his young life. He will be a top 2 or 3 draft choice.
