Hunter Knighton rushed to hospital?

Wow. Rough week. Would have bet anything based on initial reports that this was a case of severe dehydration or exhaustion. Guess not.

Tough week for the U. Tough 2 yrs for Knighton. Hope he pulls through. I would love to see him play out his dreams here at the U and hopefully in league.

Prayers for a speedy recovery.

I wouldn't expect Hunter to continue playing football. At this point having a normal life and getting his education are paramount.
 
I am greedy for information, but I do respect the privacy of the person and family and appreciate those not speculating or releasing unauthorized information.

Get Well Soon Hunter!

This is where HIPPA limits almost to nothing the amount of health related information that can be made available to the public. Hopefully he comes out of this ok to live a normal life.

The UM statement made it sound like it was no big deal.

What exactly is going on?

No it didn't... By law UM can't comment on his condition unless his family is making the statement public.

"February 25, 2014|By Christy Cabrera Chirinos, Sun Sentinel

CORAL GABLES—University of Miami officials confirmed that offensive lineman Hunter Knighton is facing a serious health issue.

Knighton remained unconscious after being taken to University of Miami Hospital following an off-season workout on Monday, the Miami Herald reported citing two anonymous sources. Miami would not comment on the specifics of Knighton's condition or how he was injured."

Not to be that guy. Just for accuracy -- HIPAA - Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act

And you sirs are correct. The little information trickling in is very interesting and concerning.

in my mind this thing is strange. i have no idea why but something just isn't sitting right with me. the family is awfully tight lipped about this. maybe they are just private people but i wouldn't be shocked if something more came out on this soon. nevertheless i am pulling for the kid. nobody should ever get screwed up playing a game especially college or high school
