'13 TX RB Jamel James (Texas State Verbal)

[Rhode Irish]

Will he visit nd?

Michigan game.

 

[Irishman77]

Thank u sir

 

[irishfanjho15]

Per Sapp Jamel said he is completely done with the process and will not visit other schools. Obviously recruiting is fluid and things can change, especially if he has a good senior year and other schools come calling.

Well at least at this point he is 100%. I think after his visit he'll either be 100% and being signing his LOI to ND or he will be looking elsewhere quickly.

This kid is going to be a star.

I said before his style reminds me of Ricky Williams. But now I'm thinking it's some where between Ricky Williams, Cedric Benson and Jamal Lewis.

I like his running style he runs hard but is fast and he seems like a powerful back.

 

[Bogtrotter07]

If you have to name more than one person, he runs like (just) himself.

How about the dirty bird?

lol true

Good to hear his statement, he was the one I was most worried about considering how he committed out of nowhere.

Jamel had a couple long TDs tonight but then hurt his knee. Doesn't appear to be too serious. Guy said he is back on the sideline without crutches.

He was on crutches initially but ditched them after halftime.

Correct you are... and it occurred on a while he was on Punt?? I could see him on return but why punt?

 

[peoriairish]

Had 97 yards and 2 TD in the first quarter before he was injured. Looks like he's back to his sophomore year form.

Yes, should be a key barometer reading on a strange recruitment

 

[Sherm Sticky]

Hope he has a great trip and it seals the deal with him.

James has been sidelined since, calling the injury a torn lateral collateral ligament.

Lateral Collateral Ligament (LCL) Tears - Cedars-Sinai

Lateral collateral ligament tears do not heal as well as medial collateral ligament tears do. Grade 3 lateral collateral ligament tears may require surgery.

In some cases, all that is required is rest, wearing a brace, taking pain relievers such as ibuprofen and having physical therapy.

Your doctor may recommend that you wear a lightweight cast or brace that allows your knee to move backward and forward but restricts side-to-side movement. This is usually worn 72 hours. Depending on how well it reduces your pain and swelling, you may be able to start a rehabilitative program in a few days.

When the pain and swelling have gone down, you should be able to start exercises to restore strength and normal range of motion to your knee. If you still have soreness while doing these exercises, go slowly to prevent further irritation. It may take up to eight weeks to fully recover, depending on the grade of your injury.

If the lateral collateral ligament was torn where it attaches to the thighbone (femur) or shinbone (tibia), the surgeon will re-attach the ligament to the bone using large stitches or a metal bone staple.

If the tear happened in the middle of the ligament, the surgeon will typically sew the torn ends together.

If the damage was severe and cannot be repaired, your surgeon may reconstruct a tendon by using a graft taken from a tendon of your thigh muscles (quadriceps) or your hamstrings.

Lateral knee reconstruction is an open-knee procedure, and is not done arthroscopically. The tendon graft is passed through bone tunnels and fixed to the thighbone and lower leg bone (fibula) using screws or posts or with stitches tied around a post.

Sounds serious.

I wish Jamel a speedy and full recovery! I'm glad he chose us and hope he succeeds both on and off the field.

 

[Big23Head]

Most likely a Grade I tear, based on what he said. Jamel hopes to return the next weekend after his visit.

 

[rtrn2glory]

out of all 3 ligaments in the knee the LCL is the one the easiest to play with i believe...think adrian petersen played with a torn one toward the end of 2010 season

Best feeling ever was getting back out there with my team and being able to practice!!

Doesn't look like it was incredibly serious. Great news if he is back practicing.
