We will stay with him. He will be ready to go his freshman season. ACL is not that bad anymore. They got it down to pretty much an 8 month recovery and usually back if not close to 100 percent. Darn close. This won't affect his ISU career. Just his Dowling season.

Yeah. Usually he burns the family's house down, kicks the family dog, and gets the parents fired from their jobs so they have literally nothing left. He hates kids that get hurt.


300+ kids with offers already. Stay healthy or GTFO. *jimlad*

Only one at Iowa State that I know of is Angel Dominguez. He tore his ACL at the beginning of last football season(end of August, I believe) and he is now on campus. Other than that I have no idea. Doubt he'd do much of that at Toledo, as they were probably the ones trying to swoop in on the kids who got hurt.


Did Denver Johnson tear up his knee before or after ge got on campus? I want to say he got hurt during spring practice his freshman year, but I can't remember for sure.

Pretty close, just forgot the essential step of peeing on the dog after you kick it.

That is too bad. With an appropriate brace, it is possible to play oline without an ACL, speaking from experience. Good chance I worsened my meniscus doing so, but glad I was able to play. Of course I didn't have fb scholarship to look forward to.

Roberto Garza played OL in the NFL for a decade with no ACL. Also I am pretty sure John Elway had a torn ACL in one of his knees for most of his career as well.

It's better to happen now than later. He has all year to heal, and all of his RS freshman year here too. Obviously a bummer he can't play this year though.

I find this hard to believe. Seems out of character, not to mention illegal and surely JPs background check would've revealed previous arson charges. Do you have a link?
he doesn't actually do it himself. that would be a rookie mistake. goons that can't be traced back to him are the ones who carry it out.

It's the only way to get through to these damn millennials. They don't leave him much of a choice.

Difficult or not, at least they know we're serious.

There should be a policy like this for kids who take other visits.
And the kids that decommitt, well, we probably shouldn't publish that policy in a public forum.

If you decommitt, I've heard that the staff puts you on a plane and you end up in a foreign country without money, ID, or a passport.

I don't think Dejuan Blair had an ACL in either knee and he has at least one NBA ring.
