I want to say something cheap and fan-like about this, but he's just a kid and it's probably a smart move on his part. It's also gutsy to speak out about it. Applause, applause. I hope he finds what he needs and comes out better on the other end. I look forward to seeing him back against the Cats.

DJ seems like a brave kid. To face mental illness is a serious thing. I applaud him for doing everything possible to improve his mental health. To go public with it and to face it is a scary thing. I hope for all the best for this young man- that he gets the help he needs and comes out even stronger as a result.

Absolutely. Give the kid a lot of credit, and certainly hope he comes out the better for it.

Best wishes to him. A young man in my daughter's grade committed suicide 2 days ago. Mental illness is serious and I applaude Carton's efforts to overcome it.

The reactions are pretty neat - lots of support and positive words.

Among the 50 or so I looked at, only one was negative. Unsurprisingly, from an IU fan.

That took courage. I think it’s a good thing that he went public. Hopefully that gives OSU fans some important perspective, and they continue to support him. College sports fans can be brutal. They’re still kids.....
