Sources say that after several weeks at Minnesota, Viramontes was starting to show signs of a repetitive stress injury to his shoulder. "All that constant rowing," said a person close to Vicious Vic, "Day after day, rowing the boat, rowing the boat. It just finally got to him."
Can't really say I'm surprised.

Michigan was honest enough to tell him before he signed that it wasn’t going to happen here. Cal ??maybe not so much. Minnesota was desperate so they took a flyer.

My guess is that he figures if he is going to end up at LB anyway, he may as well do it closer to home.

The part I find humorous is that the “casual fans” will think this is a big deal. After all BTN was hyping the shit out of this HUGE GET when Viramontes announced he was coming to Minnesota.

Good luck Vic! But remember you could be a returning starter on a Don Brown defense this season if you had made different choices.

I can only guess he said to himself one Minnesota winter was enough for him and then started playing this over and over

He's in his third season. To be eligible to transfer back to another four year school, he has to be making adequate progress towards a degree. It's hard to see how he can accomplish that in JUCO.

Watching this train wreck with great interest is that he’s gotten some extremely poor advice along the way. Family? Friends? Coaches? Not sure but this once promising career has turned into a punchline. As a lifelong MI fan from Detroit/Kazoo/MacNaw and a CAL Grad...I’ve been excited about seeing this kid on the field since his HS highlight reel.

Looks like may never happen.
