S Amari Wallace signs with the Canes

[DMoney]

For the fourth straight year, the Canes have landed a defensive star from Miami Central with the signing of blue-chip S/Nickel Amari Wallace.

The 5’11, 175-pound Wallace lines up all over the defensive backfield for the Rockets and has blocked multiple kicks on special teams. He is a four-year starter and team captain for one of the top programs in the nation. He also played 7on7 for Coach Duasso and RAW Miami. Wallace has frequently been compared to Kam Kinchens, another alum of Coach...

Hate to death that this kid got hurt. Only silver lining is that it happened before the season so he’s already 3-4 months into his recovery and he doesn’t have an extensive injury history. Looking forward to his recovery and seeing him make plays - another fantastic DB pickup

Bump

Seems like a lot are saying nickle with this kid.

I think he's a safety but either position major help is needed. And now no Stubbs, so maybe first look is safety?

How is he healing from that nasty leg injury? Was it a compound fracture?

I remember reading somewhere it was a compound tibia fracture.

From gaby a month ago he said he was running at 70% and back pedaling a month ago. No bulky brace or crutches.

Those injuries are super hard to project but that bodes well. Still feel terrible how that central situation went down.

I can only think of basketball terms with that guy Kevin ware from louisville and Paul George for the pacers. We know how those went.

I don’t know any football ones of the top of my head and they’re two different sports in terms one is continuous flow and the other one is whistle to whistle.

If this kid is healthy he starts day 1 at nickel. Instincts for days. Love his game.

Lewis Cine with the Vikings. Never returned.

Some say it was a playbook/IQ problem and some say the injury ruined him.

He's noticeably slower and less twitchy and the Bills signed him and moved him to LB.

He'll play that Meesh Powell role. Just hopefully a more athletic version

Mario said yesterday he's already almost 100%.

Lolololol. No way. If he snapped that bone 4 months ago, he is not close to 100%.

Don't be so sure. According to most orthopedic textbooks, a compound fracture in a teenager typically takes several weeks to a few months to heal, with the majority of healing occurring within 6-8 weeks, depending on the severity of the fracture and the specific bone involved; however, teenagers generally heal faster than adults, so their healing time might be slightly shorter. A compound fracture of the tibia in an 18-year-old typically takes around 4 to 6 months to heal completely; however, the exact time can vary depending on the severity of the fracture and individual healing factors, with more complex breaks potentially taking longer.

That's awesome. Hope he ends up being close to the same player he was pre injury

The severity certainly matters. Perhaps it wasn't as bad as perceived. Idk. That bone won't be the same ever again , I do know that. I also know that it being healed doesn't mean he's close to playing football. A lot of people never walk the same after an injury like that. Again, severity matters.
