At least there's not a pressing need to have him ready to play soon (like Braxton was as a Freshman). He has two years before he'll need to be ready to go, so there's no rush, he can just focus on getting healthy and getting back to normal

That's terrible and hard to return from.

Here's hoping for the best regarding JT

It's not that hard actually... I did the same exact thing in HS baseball in the spring 1996 and was back playing basketball the following winter. Considering that was 16 years ago and surgeries/rehabs are now better, JT should be able to expect to make a full recovery.

I've been told that JT is possibly seeking a 2nd opinion because he is able to walk and there is no swelling. That's exactly how mine was though. I had complete tears of the ACL and MCL. When that happens, I was told that the nerve endings are no longer intact to cause the pain that a partial tear would. I was able to walk as well and there was no swelling.

For those interested, standard procedure used to be to put you in an immobilizing brace for a few weeks to let the MCL heal itself with scar tissue. Then the operation on the ACL and meniscus was done.

So, point I guess was that this is not an insurmountable injury by any means. Get better soon JT, best wishes.

It also depends on if they remove any meniscus. I have torn my ACL and meniscus twice. First time, no meniscus was removed. Second time, about 1/3 of the meniscus on each side of the knee was removed. There is a HUGE difference in the pain after just a light jog. The ACL is unfortunate, but hard work will get you back. You cannot replace meniscus (yet) once it is gone.

For mine they just rounded off the frayed edges.

I think what happened is this: The first time I tore everything, the doctor didn't take out any meniscus. He told me that part of the tear was in a region where it may or may not heal. (There is a vascular and avascular region of the meniscus, and the in-between region is where it is iffy if it heals or not.) I am guessing it didn't heal in some areas, so when it tore the second time, it just got worse. The second doctor had to remove all the bad parts.

QB recruit J.T. Barrett injured
Buckeyes' 2013 quarterback pledge might have torn knee ligaments
Updated: October 9, 2012
By Brad Bournival | BuckeyeNation


Ohio State 2013 commit J.T. Barrett (Wichita Falls, Texas/Rider) rarely needs to find motivation. Now, the ESPN 300 quarterback has discovered something to give him that extra drive.

Injured last week in a 44-17 win over Brewer, Barrett had to leave the game and didn't return. Barrett is the only quarterback in the 2013 recruiting class for the Buckeyes.

"Saturday, I went to the sports clinic here in town and got an MRI and they said I tore my ACL, my MCL and my meniscus," Barrett said. "I'm getting a second opinion on Wednesday, but I honestly don't think it's that bad. But like my coach [Jim Garfield] said, 'We expect the worst and hope for the best.'"

The chances of someone reading it incorrectly at an average hospital are very low. Especially for something that is relatively apparent. Radiologists are the same guys who catch micro-lesions in brain MRIs (if they missed 1 of those bad boys, it would not be good), and they do a fairly incredible job of it.

Wish the young man the best. Might even be a blessing in disguise. Too often athletically gifted QBs come in and rely too much on their running abilities, which retard progressions in their passing game. Barrett will have a whole year to recover from the injury and take a red-shirt year just to work on his passing. No doubt he'll be a good one here.
