curious what the prognosis is with hip surgery/torn labrum.. is this an easy injury to overcome, or does this pose challenges?
I had hip surgery," he said. "I had been playing with a torn labrum for three years. I found out during the season so I only played five games. It taught me that anything could happen and you gotta cherish the moment. I'm doing rehab and I'm planning on coming back the hardest. I won't be hurting so I'll be faster, I've been getting stronger."

yeah, I read that in the article and why I'm asking about the injury. Hopefully it is something that is easy to come back from and isn't too serious.

If it was FAI surgery (and I am betting that's what is is/was) I have extensive experience on that. Went thru 3 different surgeries for it, on one hip. I believe most people fare better than I did. If his works properly the first time....year recovery, less maybe since he's so young...and he will have zero issues and will not lose anything in terms of speed or hip swivel. Nada. Zilcho.

Some of the better schools appear to be taking a wait and see approach. Rhule may be taking a bit of a gamble here but I think it’s a wise move to go after him.

Fairly long recovery. It might not ever cause him any problems going forward depending on how large of a tear it was. Ideally he would take the spring at least off.

Yes, Neb. should have taken the same approach here. I know the A&M and UT coaches saw his tape and passed. I used to cover East TX exclusively and so I still have still some good ties down there. I've been told he's a long-term project, which is consistent with a good portion Rhule's transition class

How many places did you "used to" cover exclusively? I feel like this is your 6th or 7th area

I'm fine taking a couple kids a year who have had major injuries. Just as long as it isn't qb where you're only taking one.

So a team that hasn't been to a bowl game in 5 years should wait on a kid who is a track athlete from Texas who one site has as the 155th player in the country and his composite is 232?

Ok. Makes sense. Yeah, wait. And then be behind when he recovers and then fight off teams like A&M and Texas for him.

Let’s face it, you’re going to get injured at some point playing college football…it’s good to know that he’ll tough it out…
Didn’t AMart play after a torn labrum?

I believe he was covering the 907 area code. But now he's exclusively rating prospects from British Columbia. Plus he's doing ride-alongs with truckers into Ice Road country to "get eyes" on some prospects from Yellow Knife to villages north of there.

Only if the entire board would put this douche on ignore. I know, I know, what’s the fun in that.
