Graunke Reinstated

Stephen Tsai reports that Tyler Graunke has been reinstated to the team.
He had been withheld from team activities since Aug. 4 because of “academic issues.”
He resolved those issues this past weekend, according to his father, Jeff Graunke.
Because Graunke must undergo medical examinations and attend NCAA-mandated orientation sessions, he will not travel to Florida for the Aug. 30 season opener.
McMackin said he will take only three quarterbacks — Brent Rausch, Greg Alexander and Inoke Funaki.
“I’m happy for Tyler,” McMackin said. “He’s taken care of things, and will be able to play. … (But) I wish he would have been eligible (for the first practice) Aug. 4, when the rest of the 104 athletes were.”
Better late than never. Glad he got the issues resolved. It'll be interesting to see how he figures into UH's plans as the season progresses.

    Graunke probably will be helping the scout team. Better there than the first team. Lets see how his "humble" attitude plays out, watching Rausch take most of the snaps. -DawgNation
