🏈 Bo Scar Update

[CrimsonBoz]

Had this on the Wooley but I will share it here. Bo scar a week and a half ago had a knee strength test. His injured knee and his healthy knee were identical. Bo is a freak of nature that is no secret. He has already participated in 7 on 7. So at this point contact is the last test.

No, the last test is mental. Some guys put it right behind them, others play trepidatiously for a long time, until they get their mental confidence back. It's going to be the same with Kenyan. Let's hope they are both mentally tough enough to put it right behind them.

I didn't mention mental with bo scar because he has recovered faster than anyone thought twice. Not my concern with him.

Based on the way Drake moved during A-Day and the fact the coaches basically had to sit on him to hold him back I don't think he will have any lingering mental hurdles

Based on info I've seen I expect similar from Bo S.

 

[Mr. Pink]

No has gone through this before so I think he will be ready mentally as well.

I think the mental aspect is the least of his concerns. The guy already is coming in a year after he wanted and enrolled early, so I think he is like Drake and ready to roll. Obviously Scarborough and the doctors know best, so we'll see.

Plus one for using the word "trepidatiously". Plus ten for the chick n the jersey.

I'm not buying it. I think the doctors will take it slow with him. He may want to rush back, but he doesn't need a fourth surgery.

Believe Saban has already indicated he'd could be playing by mid season.

 

[CrimsonBoz]

My opinion nothing source related is he needs to tread lightly.

Bo knows knee injuries

Personally, and this is my opinion, each individual has unique healing abilities. Some heal slower, some heal faster. You are all correct when you say mentally he has to be right. I've seen people to "will theirselves to live" when they should've been dead a long time before. So nothing is impossible but he need also to think of the future. If all goes well with football, as we all think , he'll be worth millions.

That's true, but there are far more "can't miss prospects" who get hurt and can't get back. Look at Lattimore, jury's out on Gurley. For every Frank Gore, there are dozens of great backs (Kerry Goode, Gene Jelks, etc.) who don't get back to form. I know advances in knee reconstruction and rehab have been incredible over the past twenty years, but there are many guys who don't pan out in the league without being severely injured (unfortunately, Trent's looking that way). The injury is yet another hurdle.

Great news on Bo. Can't wait to see him suit up this fall. By mid season, he could make for a great alternative to spell Drake in that role. I'm really excited to see what Bo can do.

It takes 11 - A little off topic, but where is that picture taken at?

I was reading today about Gurley at the Rams camp. He hurt his knee back in November and they still aren't letting him go 100%. Bo hurt his knee in March/April. He may be superhuman, but Gurley is too (the Rams don't expect him to play in the first month). If Bo is participating in 7 on 7, it's not by doing much. My bet is he's rehabbing while everyone else is doing true 7 on 7 work. Bo can't afford another knee injury. If he gets one, he'll be lucky to get a free agent look by the pros.

If Bo can go in Oct or Nov, that would be great. A fresh pair of legs down the gauntlet and into the Championship Months of Dec and Jan. And it would give our other legs (Henry & Drake) a chance to rest and contribute while not getting beaten up.

Roll Tide!

I am hopeful that Harris will be rounding into form about that time as well.
