Glad they caught it. He'll have plenty of contacts being a Baylor star to make a comfortable living.

Wow. What an awful result for that young man.

He seems to have a great attitude. That will carry him far in life.

That's just tragic.

How did they not realize this when his retina detached when he was 16? My son was worked up for Marfan (negative, thank God) when he was only 6, tall, thin and already in Coke-bottle glasses. It was his optometrist who told me that he needed to be checked.

Good luck to the young man. Glad they caught it in time.

Little known fact that Abraham Lincoln had Marfan.

Little known fact that Abraham Lincoln had Marfan.

I didn't know that, but now that you bring it up, I can see it.

NBA commissioner invited IA to attend the draft as his guest. Class gesture.

Scott Drew has offered IA a medical scholarship and a position on staff.
