A note on Zion Nelson

[PennsylvaniaCane]

Never been to TX outside of the airport in Dallas. American Airlines sucks but it’s the preferred airlines of the govt (lowest bidder)! Got stuck there twice for 12 hours going to Socorro NM and back to Nashville. Never again

IRTB and PRSBI are a good time.

 

[TOcane]

We’ve had a few botched surgeries around here over the past 5 or so years. Citizens was botched

This guy spews constant bad information. Last year it was "Mario does not jive with young black coaches" then Mario proceeds to again add those type of coaches to the RB and WR rooms.

I can one up you.

My son had a tournament in Dallas a few years ago. Not only did his buddy (who I was responsible for) get his ACL snapped, but we also got stuck in a freezing hotel for almost a week without power.

The whole ******* city shut down, man. No food, no heat, no lights, nada. Everything was closed - even gas stations. All for a 1/2 inch of snow and freezing weather. Apparently, it was a historic event. Never again.

Lake said this was the way it was going a few weeks ago.

That sucks. He had promising potential.

 

[305407cane]

Sad for the kid. All jokes aside he was a promising talent with some league potential

Now we can stop bumping threads, but this is still one of the more intriguing situations. I’m still not sure how a routine procedure turned into something this catastrophic

Any word on the official reason/injury?

 

[Shooter McGavin]

Hate to see it. Feel bad for that guy. Get your degree and succeed big boss.

 

[Novacane32000]

The wt gained from Sr. in HS to his freshman year always seemed a bit much to me . Went from like 240 to like 290 overnight. I have no idea if that had something to do with the injury.

 

[HurricanesR1]

I'll always remember him as the late 2 star 240lb OT flip from App St and most of us (myself included) wondering what the **** we were thinking signing a bum like that. Fast forward a few months and he was the starting LT against UF and projected 1st rd pick two years down the road.

It's a shame injuries prevented him from reaching his potential but he stuck it out til his body wouldn't let him any longer.

[The U is back to work]

What was the issue? Just degenerative knee issues?

 

[BeachCanes]

Can't believe he started as a true frosh @ the swamp against Zuniga. That was a bleak night. Turned it around and was an above average tackle.

 

[Zbrod95]

Wasn’t a botch or anything of the sort. He put on his weight too fast. All it was.

 

[JayCane20]

Any word on the official reason/injury?

Botched surgery and/or recovery on a simple knee cleanup lead to further injury and ultimately resulted in him shredding the rest of the cartilage and now has to live with no cartilage in that knee. Too painful to do actual football movements.

Bone rubbing bone in his knee socket.

Massive deficit of cartilage?

This one should not be blamed on UHealth.

He was down to bone-on-bone. Not great.
