Mays supposedly back for USCjr

[VOLfrombama]

From VQ:

More details have emerged as sources confirmed to Volquest that Mays surgery was to repair three hernias and an abdominal wall repair during the second week of August.

With the triple hernia procedure in addition to the repair of the abdominal wall tear, Mays was given a six week recovery timeline by the surgeons. In the middle of this past week, was exactly six weeks since the surgery.

Sources also confirmed to Volquest that Mays is on track and hopeful to be ready for this week’s game against South Carolina.

I will believe it when I see him on the field during the game!!

Pretty sure Basilio has been saying the same thing since before the season started

I would sure hope so. He was dressed for UTSA game, just never seen the field.

Desperate need for sure. Get well soon, please.

I think the timeframe was 6 to 12 weeks?? I hope it is 6.

I just had double hernia surgery and it’s 6 weeks every time, whether 1, 2 or 3. And the wall repair comes with as that’s how the hernia happened. I have 2 more weeks before my 6 week mark. It has to be tough as I’m sure he feels like he’s ready to go but the doctors are adamant about 6 weeks.

Wednesday will be 7 weeks

 

[VolBricks]

First of all I hope he is healed and not getting bcak before he is ready. That said, how well do we expect him to play when he hasn't played in any games this season? Has he been practicing at all?

Edit: I meant "real practicing" with "strain" and twisting like will happen in a game?

 

[Toucan Sam]

He needs to be back.

Also, not trying to make light of your situation but imagine having to go back to playing a sport like football afterwards. I have seen people call Cooper soft. That’s laughable.

Double repair for me a few years ago as well. I don't see how he can play at all in 6 weeks. You strain your guts out playing football in the first place. Seems like tearing it up again is likely.

They suggested a week off work. I worked from home but wondered if a week off was really necessary. It is. I was ok working from home but it took a bit to get to where I could even wear normal pants, let alone drive. He’s not being soft. They flat out tell you that you can’t lift more than 10lbs for 6 weeks unless you want to be right back there having the operation again.

The doc told me at 6 weeks the tissue is at max strength so he should be ok.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

All the idiots calling him soft and weak can kick rocks. You look like morans now.

 

[bigorangecrush89]

i can see how it’s be tempting to wait until after cock game. Gives you two extra weeks with the bye to “be sure”. Would probably give team a boost to have him out there, just hope he doesnt reinjure it.

Honestly Heupel’s comments on Cooper the last 2 weeks were unfair to him. Made it sound like he was medically cleared and opted not to play.

I still think we don’t see him till after the bye week but who knows.

He has, but everyone likes to tell me how wrong he is all the time and has no sources.

 

[Vol737]

I don't want Mays out there unless he's 110%. The six week recovery period I read about refers to those that might do some heavy lifting. I think Mays version of heavy lifting is a bit more intense than what that article was referring to. It's one thing to lift some moderately heavy boxes/objects a few times a day. Something else to be trying to push back against 300lb D linemen every play for hours. Mays, the medical staff and his doctor need to get this right.

Heupel has nothing to do with it.

It seems to me, though, that being so limited for six weeks would lead to tremendous muscle atrophy. Perhaps the training staff implemented some protocol to prevent that.

Totally agree. I had my double repair several years ago, probably 20 years ago, and they didn't want me to drive or pick up a gallon of milk even.

In the first 3 weeks, getting in and out of the car was annoying, getting out of bed was annoying, bending was annoying, just positioning my legs too far apart was agony.

If Cooper can play center after 6 weeks, he deserves a gold plated man card.

Not sure the age or physical condition of the others having said surgery but hopefully Coop has done all the right things and healed well with youth on his side. . I think some of us knew Coop wasn’t realistically available for Florida or UTSA and I wouldn’t blame the staff if they gave him another week. Whatever is best for Cooper.
