Hassani Dotson posted a farewell on Instagram today, is out of contract, and isn't included on the "undergoing negotiations" list. I'm certain every #MNUFC fan will be pulling for him, wherever he lands.

So I work with newly sober folks on setting goals and we do that by training them for races like the LA Marathon. It’s been a hard year and we lost someone who backslid, so I decided to run the race again. Could use some help, please donate if you can.
