The team asked the fans and media to not speculate last year. I think the vast majority of people respected it. Then Kylington himself did an interview outlining the issue, and saying it's past him. Then the team itself started hyping up Kylington coming back. It wasn't just the media, it included the likes of Conroy and Huska.
Even this morning Leslie, who's really well connected to the team, was pumping Kylington's tires. This really makes me think that the fitness test issue blind sided the team. It's very hard to not speculate, because the statement coming from the team this morning looked like damage control. It's a complete 180 from the transparency the team was projecting in the offseason.
