Welcome Coach Tony Skinn!

[JimP]

Georgetown and Maryland were the two big obvious threats and thankfully neither seems likely to be open again any time soon.

But if a BE school like Syracuse came calling, with their history and resources, that would be tough to pass up.

Tony is a terrific coach and he’ll be gone soon enough so let’s enjoy him while he’s here.

No doubt GMac, who visits GMU with Siena this year, will also be on 'cuse's list if Autry doesn't have a major turnaround this season.

Did anyone ask him?

Im sure someone has. IMO, and from latest IG post from team, he should be fine. Not sure where "acl" and "done for the year" came from. If it was that bad, Tony mentions it at coaches show.

I got a text saying it was a knee injury and then told it was the ACL. The conversation Tony had with Bill was high level and didn't go into specifics. Would have been weird if he randomly mentioned that.

If something changed then so be it and all the better.

Not to push you but did they say tear? Because it could be a sprain (although the timeline of a sprain injury is up in the air, but it wouldn’t require surgery).

All good- the text said "torn acl" and referencing Fatt.

Google:

The recovery time for a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) varies depending on factors such as the severity of the injury, the type of surgery performed, and the individual's overall health and fitness level.
"
Non-Surgical Treatment:

• If the tear is mild, non-surgical treatment may be an option. This typically involves physical therapy, bracing, and pain management. Recovery time may take 3-6 months.

Surgical Treatment:

• Most people with torn ACLs undergo surgery to reconstruct the ligament. Recovery time after surgery is generally longer and more involved.

Post-Surgical Recovery:

• The first few weeks after surgery are crucial for managing pain, swelling, and regaining range of motion.
  
  
• • Physical therapy is essential for strengthening the knee and improving stability.
  • Most people can return to light activities within 3-6 months after surgery.
  • Athletes may take 9-12 months or longer to return to their pre-injury level of competition.

Factors Affecting Recovery Time:

• • Severity of the tear: A more severe tear may take longer to heal.
  • Age: Younger patients tend to recover faster than older patients.
  • Overall health: People in good overall health tend to recover faster.
  • Adherence to physical therapy: Following the physical therapy plan is essential for a successful recovery".

Based on recovery time above. He should redshirt.
