At a recent Rebounders meeting we were told that doctors who performed the first surgery said they would not be surprised if the "other" knee did not have problems within 2 years. It took 21 months. I don't think this is as severe an issue as the first nor will rehab take as long. We now have three guys out for the season with knee injuries and all three were expected to contribute once conference play started, two substantially. This situation reminds me of a recent article I read in Sports Illustrated. It pointed out that youth basketball players play too much at times (especially in the summer tournaments) which makes them likely to have injuries in their college years. Similar issue to pitchers throwing too much in their youth. Problem is not just here but it seems to be exaggerated for the Cajuns this season.

Mike, was this more of a Meniscus injury rather than the ACL that he tore his senior year?

Sucks for the kid has to tough to deal with

but guy was playing crazy minutes for someone coming off knee surgery

He wasn't coming off knee surgery. He had surgery nearly 2 years ago and well over a year to rehab.

Don’t know. May hear more after surgery next week.

He also never played a game in 2 years probably should have been playing 30 min a game to kick things off

Hindsight is 20/20 but maybe a pitch count on guys who are not in game shape would be wise

I really feel for the kid. This is brutal.

[Cajun90]

One mcl and one acl at our house along with the usual bumps and bruises.

Two ACL's and one meniscus in our house.

Sorry to hear. Will miss seeing you play the rest of the year.
Wishing you a successful surgery and recovery.

Nobody is in game shape to start the season.

Nobody is in game shape to start the season.

Who knew?

We should sign more nobody types and we could start the season 10-0

"Nobody is in game shape to start the season"

I guess a good mix would be best. Nobody to start the season and Somebody to finish the season.

Everyone knows you need somebody to finish the season, and by that time somebody is bound to be in game shape.

And anybody can play point guard when nobody is available.

You have a point there.

So let's throw a guy who never felt the grind of a d1 game and who is just finished rehabbing out there for 30 min ..brilliant coaching
