Max Buchanan having surgery today

[miamicanephins]

Facebook doctors are saying 6-8 weeks

Yeah well CIS doctors are saying give him some tramadol and a knee brace

Or, he's a freshman. He's not Sisi, who played at IMG. Cantwell played at a small schooll in rural Missouri. In a mostly run offense. He tends to play high & doesnt have the bend Congdon has. He's a tackle and he will be fine.

So basically you said he’s not ready, which is what I listed as an option.

Basically, I just offered a more plausible explanation.

Mario gonna send all of yall to Guantanamo if you keep talking about injuries

 

[Cribby]

this makes the most sense to me right now

I’ve mentioned this but I just don’t like messing with center. But RR is a solid guard. I’d roll with SJ and Merriweather then go from there.

Leave RR right where he is. He’s starting to get his grove ( not like B Mac) on.

5 players are out for season that were on 2 deep. We lose any more there will be no playoffs.

Moore, Brown, Luka, Max, OJ?

Toradol screwed me up for weeks. Tramadol is great though.

Here is a summary of the video INJURY UPDATE On Max Buchanan | Miami Hurricanes Options at RG from CanesInSight:
Key Highlights & Injury News
Max Buchanan's Injury: Starting right guard Max Buchanan announced on Twitter/X that he underwent surgery following a leg/knee injury sustained in the Clemson game [00:03].
Timetable for Return: While the injury is considered long-term, current projections indicate it is not season-ending, and the expectation is that he will return later this season [00:38].
Miami’s Options at Right Guard
With a bye week to adjust, the video discusses several potential line combinations to fill the void:
SJ Alafua:
Stepped in at right guard during the Clemson game and played his best game of the season [01:09].
Jamal Merryweather:
Has rotated with Buchanan in past games (e.g., Central Michigan) and subbed in at right tackle when McCoy was briefly down [01:36]. His ideal permanent position may be guard [01:58].
Jackson Canwell & Lineup Reshuffle:
Freshmen Jackson Canwell could potentially play right tackle [02:11], allowing Francis Mauigoa or Frankie McCoy to kick inside to right guard where he previously excelled [03:28].
SJ Alafua at Center / Ryan Rodriguez to Guard:
Another alternative proposed is moving SJ Alafua to center—his natural long-term position—and sliding Ryan Rodriguez over to guard [04:15].
Big Picture
Schedule Outlook: Miami has already completed tough conference road trips (Stanford, Wake Forest, Clemson) [05:55]. The upcoming stretch features more favorable home games, giving line coach Alex Mirabal time to experiment and gel the updated offensive line ahead of major late-season tests [06:31]

Thank God that we have Mauigoa pulling double duty between the NFL and college. Without him we’d be seriously screwed. (PAUSE)

Jesus. Max spelt better in his tweet than the clanker.

Best case scenario is meniscus and that can be 6 weeks to many months. So who knows. I wouldn't bet on him being back this season.

Nah w meniscus if they shave it and clean it up it’s a few weeks. Bowers had it done
**** I played golf TEN days after bucket year of meniscus this year…..I know it’s not playing football BUT, you rehab day one get the strength and flexibility back quickly.

For a big time athlete and with the trainers and facilities 4-6 weeks max imo…if it’s meniscus

 

[BeastMode]

Mario make him delete his post or he realize his grammar was bad?

 

[AtlAtty]

What about moving RR to guard, where he played in 2024, and SJ to center, where everyone seems to believe he will end up?
I have a hard time believing that a coordinated athlete can’t quickly learn to snap a ball 3-5 yards.

I just watched @DMoney podcast. He stole my idea!

Or I stole his?

Or great minds think alike?

 

[TRick72]

Why even have tackles? We should have two rows of guards.

That would’ve been excellent under previous regimes when the only OL we could recruit were Guards
