Oh thank goodness he's back! We're rooting for you Chad!
Yes his ratings are going to shoot up. Measurables? Check. Potential? Check. Production? That's the only thing holding him back because of all the games he's had to miss.
He will be a great one.

Last night was the most impressive, I've seen Chad play. Absolutely ran right over the linebacker on the way to the second touchdown. Was playing safety on d and was flying all over the field. He also had a 30 yard touchdown reception called back for offensive pass where he blatently pushed off at the end of the half. Still was a sweet catch regardless though.
I sat next to a kid last night who has played basketball with Chad since the 6th grade who told me two things though: (1) If Chad wasn't lazy, the sky would be the limit (although he conceded that he looks more determined than he has ever seen him since the heart condition); and (2) he likes to play up minor injuries, to which he referred to the hamstring injury last year. Still last night was the first time that I've seen him and Mike Hull play on the same field and where Chad looked as good if not better than Hull.

It's amazingly coincidental to me that Hagan, in this kid's view, was "lazy" when he was playing sports with an undiagnosed heart condition and now seems to be "more determined" after being treated.
Hmmm....

RECRUITING WATCH | CHAD HAGAN
Prospect overcomes heart ailment
Thursday, November 5, 2009
By Ken Gordon
THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH
PLENTY OF HEART: Ohio State recruit Chad Hagan (above) of Canonsburg, Pa., is playing football again after surgery this summer helped him overcome a serious heart condition. (Christopher Horner, Pittsburgh Tribune-Review)
Chad Hagan sat in the car and cried the whole way home from the doctor's office.
The high school junior from Canonsburg, Pa., had just been told that because he had a heart condition known as Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, he would never be able to play sports again.
That would mean the end to his dream of playing college football, as the 6-foot-2, 230-pound running back/linebacker was being recruited by several major schools, including Ohio State.
By the time he reached home that day in April 2009, though, Hagan's attitude had changed.
"I never accepted the fact that I wouldn't play sports again," he said. "It was rough, but I kept going to different doctors. I needed at least somebody to say maybe there was a chance."
Finally, he found that doctor. One heart surgery and five anxious months later, Hagan returned to the football field for his senior season.
"It was a relief and really joyful to be able to get out on the field with my teammates again," he said.
