anywhere to review that content now? I'd be interested in all 3 players.

No idea if Rivals.com archives that far back or not. You’d have to be a current subscriber. I’m guessing it’s lost to time. I actually did a season with Ryan Hearn, also.

Will was a good friend of mine, hell of a guy and severely missed is an understatement. Don't think I can bear to watch the movie even though I'm still in touch with Nick.

Those of you who might remember the years when I ran the USF site at Rivals.com might recall that I did a weekly player diary annually. One year it was Andre Hall, a second season was Nick Capogna, and a third was Will Bleakley - who died in this accident. Such a great guy. Don’t think I could bring myself to watch this film, even now . . . 

I don't even have any close personal ties to any of the players outside of the USF connection, and I still don't think I'd be able to sit and watch this movie after following it as it was going down.

Which was a personal trainer, Nick or Will?  Thinking it is Nick but can't remember.

Yes - I remember and read the book. I think at the time of the book, at least one of the Buc victim’s family was not happy about it.   Wonder if they are involved this time. 

Cooper's dad, was a TV sports reporter out here.  Spoken from a father's perspective...

Nick was on the team as I recall, but then off and was a trainer...   Cross check me, please.

Nick was on the team, he is a personal trainer now. He owns Sky Athletix in Lutz area.

I don’t believe he was on the team at the time of the incident.

Pretty sure you're right but I read the book years ago so - memory loss.
