Proud Tiger 4,261 Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Attrition already starts in the 2011 class. Thomas O'Reilly, one of our prize OL has a serious shoulder injury. He either just had (or is going to have) surgery and is not expected to play until Fall 2012 as a redshirt freshman. The coaches pressed to get him enrolled this month so he could go ahead with the surgery ASAP. Here is hoping for a speedy recovery but some say it it the type injury that some never fully recover from enough to play FB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ValleyTiger 2,894 Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 He had the surgery on Jan. 26th I believe. I've heard that he should be ready for fall practice, but obviously he'll miss spring practice. What I want to know is, did he suffer the injury at the Under Armour AA game??

TitanTiger 21,042 Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Is it attrition if the kid is still on the roster? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proud Tiger 4,261 Posted February 1, 2011 Author Share Posted February 1, 2011 Is it attrition if the kid is still on the roster? Call it what you like. If he can't practice or play it's the same as attrition. Similiar to Coleman. Time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RunInRed 18,089 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 O'Reilly wasn't a top candidate to compete for starting spot. Hate for the kid but he'll be fine. Lot of road in front of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcgufcm 4,109 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Yeah, until he actually can't play ball, I don't call it attrition. A LOT of players don't crack the lineup until their Junior year. If he's on-campus with the possibility to develop, I'm patient. He's just losing a spring, summer, and probably a fall.
