Michigan WR Antonio Bass - OUT FOR '06 SEASON?

[lane]

can be read about here: http://mgoblog.blogspot.com/ with comments & full presser here (cut & dry with a 'dorky' pic of Lllloyd to boot!): http://michigan.scout.com/2/509702.html

oh well -

in reading b/w the lines it sounds like Lllloyd may actually move his team into the 21st century. we'll see!

I never enjoy when a player gets injured. Whether he plays for tOSU or Mighigan.

Lets hope the best for him.

Agreed. As much as we love it, football is still only a game. Knee injuries can last a lifetime - like mine for example... :(

A funny exerpt from the scUM scout article:

On whether Ryan Mundy will be back this spring: "Yes. Llate in the year, we had three secondary backs that all had nerve problems in their shoulders. Jamar Adams is still not 100 percent healthy. Brandent Englemon had surgery and Ryan missed the season because of a nerve injury. Hopefully, those guys will all get back. But Mundy is cleared and ready to go."

I think Llloyd's ineptness is really getting into their heads :tongue2:

Tough break for the kid, from what I've heard he's supposed to be a good one.

Looks like his career could be over (edit: pending tests)..knee injuries are scary, hope he can play again...

I hate hearing about knee injuries. No matter who it is.

ESPN reported this tonight like it just happened. This was known months ago. Hope he is able to play again.

The new part is that he may never be able to play again, I believe there is some nerve damage that isn't healing

It's currently unknown whether his career is over. The rumor is indeed that the muscles are healing well, but that it's nerve damage that might end his career. His father claims that whatever problem is career threatening has been cleared (see August 2 info):

Considering the source, I'm still rather worried.


For this year, it's likely that incoming recruit Carlos Brown will take Bass's unique spot as an occassional QB. Brown had an excellent spring, showed great speed, and also played QB in high school.

Man, hate to see that happen. Get better Antonio.

 

[Taosman]

Good kid. Hope he recovers fully. :(

I hope the info is correct and he will be back. Never like seeing that from the parents. Rather hear it from a team spokesman or doctor.
Best of luck and a speedy recovery.

Found this and posted it in the TSUN news thread, thought I'd post it here too.
