[fastcane]

I thought corns happened on the foot, not the knee.

Pretty sure it was a knee, but didn't think it was too serious.

If I remember correct, he suffered a torn meniscus. He had to have surgery.

He'll be back playing basketball at some point during the season. He won't miss all of it.

If he comes back 100%, he is going to hurt someones feelings in that secondary next year. Larry Hope and Nate Dortch need to decide this Spring which direction they want their careers to go. Because if we get JC Jackson, things are going to get REALLY crowded back there the next 2 years.

Anymore that's barely a blip on the radar, especially for someone his age. Hopefully that's all it is.

If the meniscus was sown back together that means he will be on crutches 6-8 weeks. That means he would not play until March.

There are a number of variables to consider when dealing with the meniscus: was it the lateral or medial meniscus (one has a better blood supply and takes less time to heal but I can't remember which); what part of the meniscus was injured (again, blood supply); was it torn or just pinched; there are more variables but I've seen players come back in as little as two weeks but as long as ten. Btw, I use to be an athletic trainer at a D1 university and have witnessed a number of meniscal surgeries.

Really depends upon the tear and what surgical treatment was performed. Few meniscal injuries are sewn due to poor blood supply. If there is a vertical tear at the peripheral rim of the meniscus which is confined to the zone of meniscal blood supply, it is possible and desirable to repair the meniscus. Otherwise the torn tissue is usually removed and the margins cleaned up as much as possible. Normally I'd expect a surgical medial meniscus back to normal activity in about six weeks. Of course, D1 college basketball isn't exactly normal activity.

Tell him to rub some dirt on it, and send him back in!

What a "callus" post.

Tell him to heal up for spring practice . . . forget the end of hoops season.
