He sounds depressed and emotional. Obviously, he’s emotional because he’s retiring, but he seems like he might not be thinking straight. He should 100% retire based on that video, but I really hope he’s talking to a professional and Miami is supporting him.
Well JP15 Medically retired and ended up transferring to UM to resume playingDoes it feel like we have more players than other programs medically retire? Coincidence or something weird going on? I think it deserves a question
Definitely seemed like a good kid. Feel bad for his family too as I remember them seeming like solid people that were super excited about him coming here. Better he make this decision now though than too late. Here's to the kid succeeding in his next endeavor.Hope he sticks around the team and the University and gets his degree.
I liked him as a football player and he seems like a good young man. Hope he recovers. A lot of therapies and techniques can get you back to - at least close to - normal these days.
No I don't think so. It's a high-impact, contact sport, where players getting bigger/faster still seems to continue to evolve. It's why they came in with the targeting rule. I bet every team has a couple of guys right on the cusp. I played with two in high school and NAIA teams. Our safety in HS got recruited by FSU, played a season, and their doctors made him stop because of concussions he had four that season. I had five total in college, knocked out once. That was way before protocols; if you could see the 2-fingers you were good to go. The one I was knocked out on, for about ten seconds (The guard next to me told me), I never left the game - that could have ended badly.Does it feel like we have more players than other programs medically retire?
