This is so true. There is no way Eli comes back next season like some fans have been saying on here and other AU sites. I remember the same thing was said about lawson the year he tore his. It is just not smart and it is reckless to rush those guys back when the risk of re injuring is high.  If it is a full tear and not partial He will redshirt and be back for 2019.

Sooo Iggy is definitely going back to wr now as well as still working at cb.

[AUIH1 1,515]

Hope Hastings recovers well.  With a well designed offense, he can be a great asset to the team.

I don't know about that. Even with the current injuries, we are more thin at DB than we are at WR. If the reports about Iggy looking great and "being a natural" at DB are true, he'll probably stay there. If those reports are wishful thinking by some observers, maybe he goes back to full-time WR.

Come on Mac, even PTB said he could be testing it by practice and full speed by mid-season, and PTB knows the details. We've also got to stop comparing it to Lawson. First, Lawson's injury happened nearly 2 months later and second, PTB has stated that Lawson's injury was exceptionally severe.

No way? There is a chance. Eddie Jackson tore his ACL in the spring one year and played 10 games in the fall. Do we have equal medical and rehab facilities?

we are not bama. we are not going to rush a guy back and ride them in to the ground like saban does his players and have them be damaged goods by the time they get to the NFL.

Now come on OKC Thunder! Eli is muhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh boy and I am very protective of him. One of my favorite recruits ever. I rather get a full season of him being 100% than him rushing back and risking over doing it in his rehab just for the off chance he can be back by for a few games at the end of the year. We are not bama. We always put the players first and do not risk the student athletes well being.  Just redshirt him and him come back EVEN STRONGER for 2019! He will be better than ever. He will be hungry! WOOOOOOO!!!! I am excited for the return just talking about it. LETSSSSSS GOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! Also I have no clue who PTB is. To me PTB always has been the powers that be. Did the powers that be come to you in a vision?! haha I KID I KID! Have a great elite 8 sunday muhhhhhhhhhhhh dude!!! Hope to converse with you more on here going forward. Been missing chatting with ya.

Well Gus has recently said anyway that they plan to rep him at WR.....this week I believe...but I sure do hope that those DB comments are of substance and not fluff.

PTB is passthebiscuits (for some reason I can't link people on my tablet).

Didn't even show up to practice like players with injuries usually do. Don't even know if he's had surgery yet...

Our poor Hastings!!! Makes me so sad!

 

Any updates you can share @passthebiscuits? I assume his injury is something that could take a year+ to bounce back from? 

[lionheartkc 6,150]

Sounds like we'll be seeing him in 2019.

I'll be pulling for the kid but realistically wouldn't expect WH to return in 2019 unless he was assured of a scholarship.

Info Hasn’t been released yet from the player.

He's assured of a scholarship whether he plays or not. That's not a question. If he's recovered, he'll play on the team. If he is not recovered, he'll be in the Injured status, that's on scholarship but doesn't count against the 85 limit because he's not able to play.

A medical scholly would be granted in the even he can't play ball.  He can finish his degree and even obtain a Master's all on AU's dime.
