LKEEL75 2,566 Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 link Quote Jarrett Stidham won't have one of his favorite targets in the Auburn passing game for the rest of the season. Senior wide receiver Will Hastings underwent surgery Thursday and will miss the rest of the year and redshirt, sources told AL.com. Hastings, who got back in less than six months from the ACL injury he suffered in March, suffered a setback with the knee in mid-September. He hadn't played since getting six snaps during the Tigers' loss to LSU Sept. 15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linayus 676 Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Sucks, but I'm glad to have him another year (if he stays). This gives him plenty of time to recover and build up the strength and confidence again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Win4AU 4,052 Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Gotta wonder if he came back too soon. Due to Hipaa we’ll never know 100% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drsteve87 91 Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 If I recall correctly, Jerry Rice did the same thing with the 49ers. Blew out his knee, came back too soon, blew out the recently reconstructed knee early in the season. Then he sat out the entire year got proper rehab and had another all pro year. Even with all of the medical advancements - nothing speeds up regrowth of ligamentous tissue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexava 6,973 Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 I predicted he would miss the entire season this spring. I wish I was still wrong. I hope Eli doesn’t go back into rehab/ surgery too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUBwins 10,064 Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Will had a pretty rough collision the one play we threw to him on. Heck Stove did as well. Wonder if that was the setback. Hope Stove can recover as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oracle79 3,569 Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 There was no need whatsoever for either of them to try to play this year. Makes me question whoever is making those decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeek 16,613 Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 I think I’ve already read that him and Stove we’re open to redshirting still. Nix to Hastings in the slot sounds good to me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently the coach who doesn't know how to evaluate QB talent too well and never really makes his QBs better when they leave than when they got here thinks he is the most polished QB on the roster not named Stidham. Also apparently they expect him to waltz in and start as a true freshman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auburn2Eugene 2,317 Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 I didn't get the rush to get either of them back on the field. I hope Stove doesn't take another snap this season. Just another of a long list of head scratchers... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It even has the average Auburn fan's reaction. Don't ask me how I got this, I know people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cole256 17,039 Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 So why did we just have to have Hastings back this year????? You guys really don't see the problems here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexava 6,973 Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 I think Will was assuming JS will not return next year and pushed his recovery to finish his career without breaking in a new qb. I thought it was too soon. I don't blame coaches. I blame Dr.s and Will's family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hastings is one of Gus’s “Inner Circle” favorites, coming from his Arkansas buddy Kevin Kelly’s private school program. If you’re unaware by now, Gus plays favorites, calls/designs plays specifically to go to those favorites, and is detrimental to the success of Auburn’s program because he’d rather play his FAVORITES, instead of building his offense around his most talented guys. Thank God NCM got away from our dumBster fire. He deserves better and will now have a chance at an NFL career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
