Hi,
Please note, this post's title is somewhat tongue-n-cheek. Obviously, if this young man is having problems it is most important that he deal with them and football is just a game.
According to the rumors section of SI:
Cornerback Laurence Marius has left Georgia Tech, returned home to Key West, Fla., and plans to give up football, his mother said Tuesday night. Marius was one of the most highly rated recruits in Tech's 2006 freshman class. Alona Marius said her son had been depressed for a for a few weeks and had lost a lot of weight.

I think the Devils could use him, that is if he wanted to play. I wonder what is really behind his leaving school. Sometimes a change of scenery can light a fire and he will develop as originally expected. Maybe he just broke-up with his girlfriend and "life is over." Then again, he might have a serious problem with depression and being at home is not going to solve it either, but getting it properly diagnosed and treated--be it therapy and medication or both is in the young man's best interest. I hope and pray that he is getting the right help and not just sitting alone in a room at his Mom's house making things potentially spiral into something that becomes harder and harder to climb out of. If he is suffering from serious depression I hope that the GT people did something to try and diagnose the situation before he left school. Good luck son.
GO DUKE!
