The sophomore cornerback suffered a neck/vertebrae injury during the Orange Bowl and it appears as though his football career is over. Devastating for him.
I feel horrible for the kid. Malik always will be 100% Cane and part of the brotherhood for life. Kid gave it all to this program. I hope he will be able to walk and move around normally. He will finish his education here and go on to great things. Prayers for him and his family.
Really? Wow. I was going by a good friend that is a neurosurgeon that spoke very highly of Kaplan. My boy (ironically) had to quit football at Dook over his own spinal issues. I'll obviously defer to your opinion here though since you've seen the entirety of the team's care in person.
A doctor I saw back home also knew Kaplan and spoke highly of him, but many players have to refered to him as “the butcher” for not doing a good job with their ACL surgeries. Vinny Scavo the head athletic trainer is a whole other story
If it’s that much of a concern you have a moral obligation to go to coach Richt, not sure what purpose this serves on a public forum.
You’re also exposing yourself legally since you’re using you’re actual name. Not trying to be a prick, but this is a serious matter that needs to be looked at by people that can make informed sound judgements and have medical knowledge and backgrounds.
Just my 2 cents since you brought it up.
For clarity and peace of mind, Young Pennyfinger has not exposed himself to any sort of legal liability here. Put that nonsense back in your ***, right where you pulled it from. Let the man express himself, offer his insight, even if it's not all plush kittens and double rainbows.
Austin, is Kaplan's questionable locker room reputation the only shortcoming you were referring to?
The athletic training staff (sports medicine) has a pretty bad reputation among the players, as far as doctors some aren't highly regarded but there's others that are good
It may seem like little consolation now but in instances like this we should be glad that the program is attached to some of the better team doctors in the country. Hopefully this is something that at worst just ends the kid's contact sports career.
If you saw some of the things first hand you’d think otherwise
This is the juju we receive for those who made fun of Randy Russell's injury (if there were any).
Getting Campbell and Surtain just become x10 times more important we are without a doubt going to end up with Bethel. sigh.
Should name it the "Malek Young Tunover Chain and retire it to the HOF, and get a new one for this season.
