D'Eriq King tears his ACL

[hiphopanimal]

He will be back for fall ball. He shouldn’t play against bama but that’s not really up to me

What does D'Eriq want to do?

I would keep him out too - Play Kosi and just run the ball as much as we can, to take as much clock as possible.

Ain’t a snowballs chance in **** he will be ready for Bama. What kind of math we using here? And why would we possibly do that to him?

It will be close... Some ACL injuries only take 7-8 months to fully recover. It all depends on the person really. Regardless he's not going to be the same QB he was in 2020. He will spend an entire off-season just rehabbing the knee instead of throwing the football and working to get better. I would apply for a medical redshirt if I was him

 

[Mackmiller974]

simple google search says you can return to sports after 6 months. without knowing anything about the severity i would say its entirely possible.

That's extremely unlikely... The vast majority are in that 8-10 month range

**** that sucks. This program is cursed. Even if he’s back by fall, he’s not going to have the mobility he had by then. Wish him a speedy recovery but this is not good news.

What he wants to do shouldn’t matter

IMO,we will not see King throw another pass for miami again.

What happens if TVD or Garcia (or even Perry given how good he looked in the bowl game) balls out against Bama and we somehow pull off the impossible? Do we give the reins back to King when he’s healthy? I’m in no way downplaying his injury. This really sucks and I really hope he gets healthy and comes back better than ever. Just thinking out loud

Those are the kinds of problems you want to have.

I’m hearing it’s ACL only and not multi-ligament. Looks good although they won’t know for sure until they go in.

Perhaps this explains the aggressive timeline. @Nickdoc1 will have more insight.

Get well soon king. Kosi get ready! King will be back for bama!

Hopefully. Worst case is N'kosi transfers and King misses most of the season.

I understand the optimism, but it takes 11 months for an NFL player to return from an ACL injury. I just think it's wishful thinking that King will be 100% let alone cleared to play by August.

After The Knee Is Fixed, How Long Before The Player Returns?

Figuring out when an athlete with damaged knee ligaments can get back in action is an inexact art at best. Doctors have various ways to mend a busted knee, but the results, like car mileage, can vary.

www.npr.org

It takes 11 months, on average, for an NFL player to return to play after anterior cruciate ligament surgery, according to one study.

Fall camp what kinda magic we doing in CG. They trying to rush this kid back for bama. It ain’t worth it.

 

[RightSaidFred]

I would do cartwheels if that's the biggest problem we have after Bama.

I agree, but I have a better chance of winning the Powerball than Miami has of beating Alabama, even with a fully healthy King.

We don’t have one player who would start for them, or one coach who would coach for them.

The difference between Alabama and Miami as far as talent and coaching is greater than the difference between Miami and Central Connecticut. So we're more likely to lose to Central Connecticut than we are of beating Alabama.

We are completely and fully outclassed, top to bottom, inside and out. EVERY facet of the program. Completely outclassed. If this game is played 100 times, Alabama wins every time by more than 2 touchdowns.

We have zero shot.

If Kosi has an amazing summer do you start him?

edit: nvd.

 

[MasterBlaster]

****, that sucks, prayers for him. I hope he makes a 100% recovery.

 

[PIPO]

Kosi Hive right now

Then why play?

 

[RightSaidFred]

Then why play?

Contractual obligations lol

 

[GladeCane]

Is it okay for me to dream that Jake Garcia is the next Marino and a phenom who comes in, takes the starting spot, QB1 vs Bama and goes 25/35, 345, 4TDs and Miami wins?

I mean, does that happen for Miami? Does anything like that ever happen for us?

Not that far fetched. He has the arm talent and the "it" factor.

 

[Canesfan1899]

Feel terrible for the young man. I have a feeling he will attack rehab like everything else and come back on a mission.

 

[1LuvCane]

****. Don’t know if I’ve ever felt worse for a kid than I do him. Hope he recovers quickly and well!

Life's a *****. Guy shows he' s up to the challenge. Something tells me he'll be ok.

If he escapes MCL tear it's amazing news.

MCL surgery is much more difficult than ACL surgery.
