If that’s the case, it’s really sad that this young man is having to endure this injury and the associated ramification's including the possibility of never playing football again.

SMH. Poor kid (seriously). They can patch a torn ligament and fix tendon and muscle damage. But that soft tissue like menisci, I don't know what you do when that gets ground down? Is there a human equivalent to replacing bearings and grease?

 

[Mr. Dynasty1]

Is Zion lingering issue a result of UM surgical procedure or just how he injured it

 

[Imukat]

Is he more likely to come back, medically retire or portal out?

Yes

Does it matter? He could be 100% and not get his spot back. That ship has sailed. Give me an extra roster spot

 

[Imukat]

It matters until he hits the field and contributes or leaves. He is using up a valuable scholarship spot.

At this point I think he's scared. He went from being the nations worst LT in history to a projected 1st round pick after a mediocre sophomore year. He peaked. Anything he does now will be a disappointment. He probably has taken too much time off to even be a second teamer.

Jesus Christ if we are taking up spots with both Nelson and McCormick on this team lol

Mario is an elite roster builder so give him time. With the right injuries we can probably have these guys ready for the fabled 2026 campaign.

Wow, really?

Wow, really?

Got a better theory on the subject?

Yeah, he peaked, scared he’s no longer the player he was, so he sits in his room eating bonbons. Unless you know specifics of his injuries and surgical procedures, then you look like an *** speculating.

Never speculated. Asked for a better theory than the one you questioned. To me it’s a complete enigma. The guy’s been “injured” for 3 years brother.

Would never offer a theory as it would be pure speculation. View it as an unfortunate situation and have empathy for the young man and his family. Suggesting someone isn’t tough enough or can’t play through injury never a got idea.

Pretty safe to say gaining 70 pounds in a few months isn’t good for you

I do have empathy for you and your family Zion. I just wanted to know if you plan on playing football ever again.

Suspect Zion and his family can speak for themselves. Hopefully we’ll hear from them some day.
