OL Adam Olds (official thread)

[Naplesbuckeye]

Does anyone know definatively if Olds is healthy enough to play. I may be mistaken but I thought the Spring Preview on the OSU site failed to mention his name?

here is what OZONE is reporting, as well as the status of some of the other guys being held out of Spring Practice

http://www.the-ozone.net/

A number of players will be held out of contact for spring drills due to injury. Among those are A. J. Hawk (recovering from postseason knee surgery), Marcus Green, David Patterson, Mike D'Andrea (recovering from shoulder surgery), Maurice Hall (recovering from knee surgery on both knees), and Adam Olds. Olds' situation is probably the most serious. He has had ongoing hip problems and surgery on both hips. OSU Head Coach Jim Tressel indicated that there is a possibility that Olds' career may actually be over depending on medical evaluations to be made in the near future.

The speculation that Olds injury might be career ending has been going on since prior to last season. While I hope he is able to return to the field it is hard to imagine he will go from 'career in jeopardy' to 'serious contributor' this season.

Anybody know what is up with Patterson?

 

[Naplesbuckeye]

I read somewhere yesterday that it was a shoulder injury but I can not remember the source.

Adam's dad was on BN a couple weeks ago and said he was going to be fine. I don't remember if he was full go for spring ball, but I would guess they aren't going to push him unless he is 100%.

 

[Naplesbuckeye]

This keeps going back and forth.....Olds' dad says he is fine and then Tress. said yesterday that he will sit out all of Spring. I wish the guy well I just want to know if he can play or not?

Olds

Was there any news from the spring about his injury and chances of playing again?

 

[OSUBasketballJunkie]

injuries are tough.

I thought during the spring game they said he had given up playing football for good, I could be wrong.

Yep. He's "Olds" news. Ugh.

The last I heard is that he wasn't practicing this spring and was going to give it one last shot in the fall before officially calling it quits.

 

[Oh8ch]

I definitely read - with quotes from the coaching staff - that his career was over.

Best wishes to Adam, and I'm glad that he got to wear the scarlet & gray.

 

[RugbyBuck]

Too bad, but he seems to have things pretty well together. Best of luck, Adam.

 

[Bucklion]

Best of luck to him...I'm sure he'll do fine...seems like a good kid.

"All in all I am a walking study in what the human anatomy should not look like."

Glad to see he's keeping his sense of humor. I hope he does reach his goal of becoming a doctor...sounds like he can be a good one.
