I know we had promised an update on Kevin Norrell, and at the time we hoped the news would be positive.  Unfortunately, today, that is no longer the case.

Upon the recent news reported elsewhere, that Kevin was due to be reinstated by coach Wulff and the WSU program, I got in touch with Kevin’s father for a detailed update.  I received an e-mail from Kevin’s father last night, and he provided the following:

Dear Sean and WSU Blog family,

My family has nothing but love and respect for you and Coug Nation. Due to health and financial issues within the family, and I say this with a heavy heart, Kevin Jr will be staying close to home this year.

Kevin got to experence something special at WSU.  The fans showered him with love.  This was a tough call. 

Kevin wishes all the coaches, players and fans nothing but the best.  Our family will keep all you in prayer and we ask you keep us in your prayers as well.

With Great Respect and Love For All,

The Norrell Family

I guess that says it all.  Whether Kevin was going to be in Pullman or not is no longer important compared to a difficult situation for his family.  We extend our hopes and prayers to the Norrell family and wish nothing but the best in a very difficult time.

All for now.  Go Cougs.
