Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

Would depend on what his INR needed to be in my opinion, I'm 24 just had open heart 8 months ago for a valve replacement and my target INR (blood clot time or in simple terms blood thickness is 1.5-2.0 normal is 1.2) and I honestly haven't noticed a big difference in bruising or bleeding more. It's all relative but in my opinion he would be fine if he didn't have to have a really low blood thickness, blood thickness effects the elderly more than it does young healthy people.

That makes sense. I couldn't figure out why they didn't just come out and say his football career was over as soon as he got them the second time if there was no chance. I'm so sorry you had health problems starts so early! God bless you! I was 40 and thought that was bad.

So I’m not the only one who still calls him Coach Fulmer.

 

[BruinVol]

I will be very very surprised if Trey Smith plays another snap of football.

I would have agreed a few hours ago but since he has returned to the practice field I think it's very clear the plan is to play again.

Thanks so much, we all have to play with the cards we're dealt buddy, I'm discharged and healthy and that's more than a lot of people can say but I appreciate it. Ticker should be good for another 50 or 60 years so something else will have to get me lol

It's Trey's choice. The doctors put him on anticoagulants for six months after the original diagnosis to dissolve the clots. They monitored him closely then cleared him to return. They switched him to aspirin while playing, which prevents recurrent clots in some patients. That didn't work, but he can try it again to see if alternative treatment is more successful a second time. Since he has access to excellent medical care and constant monitoring, his risk is mitigated but it's still there. Most people probably choose to manage recurrent clots with anticoagulants and avoid contact sports, but ultimately, Trey's health is his own decision.

Love the attitude! And glad to hear that!

Could be but given how quickly they came back after treatment, it would kind of surprise me. With that being said he may be thinking that it was a fluke and give it one more try to see if they come back after a longer treatment period, honestly no one but he, his family, the docs, and maybe coach know for sure what he is going to try to do

There is no one, alive, anywhere on this planet, that should not be calling him Coach Fulmer. JMO.

Well said

You're showing your age girlie.

I'm a big fan of Bernard King. One of the most underrated players in NBA history.

We're only as old as we feel, right, AND today's my birthday!!! When I was a freshman, the legal drinking age was 18. I turned 18 on Homecoming Saturday - what a party! The entire campus celebrated with me! lol!

What’s interesting is this is all true for Chris Bosh and it has been taken out of his hands completely. No team in the NBA will let him play. I was surprised this summer when Trey was cleared and I’ll be more surprised if they clear him again. It stuns me that a college program would be more liberal in regards to the player making his own health decisions than NBA teams.

What could be causing them?

[butchna]

Hell ya I would too

So just like Shane Mathews and Grossman them boys collected checks for around 15 yrs

Both had at least limited success as starters with the Bears before riding that backup train.

College athletes play contact sports with all sorts of medical issues. They play with cancer while undergoing chemo, with autoimmune diseases and in casts with broken bones. Medically clearing a person and advising them are two different things.

 

[butchna]

I copy image and paste it in the post thingy. It worked for a while but now it doesn't and some of the recruits pictures are blocked also. I reported to Freak I believe he is working on it but if you have any suggestions would love to hear them.

If it doesn’t immediately start downloading the image, go old school with the IMG in [ ] [/ ] before and after. Then it works.

Butch Jones coached like he'd had a recent lobotomy...

 

[triadvolfan]

don't forget we will still most likely have Callaway and Jennings... I know most think they are gone, but I am hoping for at least one to stay (they should both stay)

I'm hoping the days of players leaving early to be late round draft picks are gone. Hopefully they only leave if they grade out really well.
