Man amoungst boys on ESPNU right now

[jimmy40]

Ricky Seals Jones #1 ranked receiver playing QB. I don't know if he can catch but he can sure run.

[MC KAos]

i hope to god he recommits to UT!

[jimmy40]

well I jinxed him, now he's on the bench with cramps or something.

[jimmy40]

damn, I may have ended this guy's career. now they're putting an air cast or something on his left knee.

[jimmy40]

tore his leg up playing defense.

[The30YardSlant]

Dude's offer list just shrunk, his leg is all twisted up.

[jimmy40]

Dude's offer list just shrunk, his leg is all twisted up.yeah, the way his foot was laying flat on the ground was not normal. really sucks for the kid.

[MC KAos]

take that UT scholarship and redshirt next season! I hope UT isnt one of the schools to withdraw an offer if it is a bad injury

[rkell87]

no solid news on the injury but "sources" close to the situation say it is a dislocated kneecap

[ABQCOWBOY]

I might go ahead and just give him a take it or leave it offer right now. If he does not come back with the explosion he had before, he could still turn into one heck of a fine TE. He has the size and he was already considered as a once in a life time TE prospect anyway. He just didn't want to play the position. I might go ahead and do that if I were Mack. Let Sumlin pile his but back into his Helicopter and just put that offer out there, see what happens.

[Aikbach]

Art Briles will come and pretend to be looking at his backup just to get other schools off the scent of his quarterback recruiting, then he'll sign Seals.;)

[rkell87]

if it is really bad I expect them to keep it quiet/downplay it and for him to accept a four year offer from the best school to offer it

[rkell87]

he tweeted that he didn't tear anything but still no confirmation on what the injury is

[Aikbach]

no solid news on the injury but "sources" close to the situation say it is a dislocated kneecapIsn't that the injury that destroyed Ki-Jana Carter?

[rkell87]

Isn't that the injury that destroyed Ki-Jana Carter?

I think it was just an ACL for him but in '95 it was harder to come back from

[Aikbach]

I think it was just an ACL for him but in '95 it was harder to come back from i recall a knee cap coming off, maybe I'm mistaken.

[rkell87]

I was like 8 so you probably remember better than me

[Aikbach]

I was like 8 so you probably remember better than meI was 11 or 12.

[Aikbach]

I was like 8 so you probably remember better than meI was 11 or 12.

[rkell87]

I was 11 or 12.

I looked it up and the only thing I could find was that he tore his ACL in his third pre season game in '95 but he dislocated his knee in '99 and '00

[ABQCOWBOY]

Isn't that the injury that destroyed Ki-Jana Carter?

No. Ki Jana Carter tore ligaments. Pretty much all of them if I recall. Keep in mind, that was almost 20 years ago. Medicine has come a long way since then but if this is a knee dislocation, an injury that I, myself have had, it's much different.

[ABQCOWBOY]

which injury is worse?

Depends on the severity. A dislocated knee cape can also involve an actual fracture or split of the knee cap. However, Carter's tears of his ligaments were pretty much complete and at the time, surgical techniques were not nearly as sophisticated as they are today. Also, you have to context it against what you are trying to accomplish. Are you trying to use the knee to live normal day to day life or are you trying to play professional football? I'd have to say that a complete tear, at the time, would be more sever, assuming the knee cap is simply dislocated and not cracked.

[MC KAos]

a knee cap just sounds horrible! i think thats what baron davis injured last season and he is probably going to miss the entire year.
