What is the word on him? Will he be ready for spring ball? I hope he gets his chance and stays healthy.

wrong, the vid clearly says no knees. based on that and the things he is doing definitely means he got rid of his knees so he cannot get another acl injury.
This. There are several exercises recommended for strengthening knees those were a sample. Another is just walking backwards for an extended length of time. Those really are diffiuclt.

As a TE he was exceptional however as it turned out he is made of glass. I expect no significant contributions from him in the field. Iowa dodged a bullet on not wasting a scholly on this guy.
Sad to say I have to agree with you. He would be well advised to give up the sport. Even if he does try to play again one has to question how well he would do. Better to be able to walk for the rest of his life than play a game. No way the NFL would take a risk on him. He stills gets a free education so there is that. Of course I am no doctor. Wish the young man well.
Times are different than 30 or 40 years ago. Surgery technique and rehab is better. People are recovering a lot faster and the joint is usually stronger. Also there is more therapy and supplements that help soft tissue heal (peptides, stem cells, supplements, etc). I had an acl tear in h.s. and another one in college playing soccer. I still played off and on and stopped last year around 41. I do have some bone spurs and pain if I do cutting moves or plyometrics but I can do anything else with no issues. Lots of pro guys have recovered from an ACL, and I imagine NU would get Fidone a top doctor for the surgery.
Saying that, it does alter the biomechanics of the knee and will eventually lead to increased wear. In your teens and 20's there shouldn't be any issues. He could still be a stud in college and play in the NFL.
In what way? Transferring or he cant play anymore? I think he is ready to go.
Guess you're still feeling vaginally and butt-hurt about losing that sweet Hy-Vee trophy? Why don't you go rub one out to some Chuck Long highlight videos.
Just from that video alone it looks like his knees are doing fine. He still has 4 years if eligibility left so lets go.
I thought the word was he could play towards the end of last season, but they rightly held him out of that **** show.
Keep it close by as we will be taking it back this year for another 8+ years
That was crazy is what that was. From a kid that’s had two knee surgeries that takes and incredible amount of joint flexibility/stability/and strength. Anyone weighing over 200lbs that can do that is ridiculous.
You better hope Cade dont go down with an injury with that pathetic o-line you got. You wont have a backup. All of em are transferring.
Highly unlikely, we have a football coach now. Last eight years not much of a head coach at all.
Yeah, no football player has ever had a couple knee surgeries and had a successful career. But thanks for encouraging the dumbest troll on this board.
Wash Rinse Repeat.
Until Ruhl actually wins I’ll keep saying Wash Rinse Repeat
