'10 KY OL Tate Nichols (Notre Dame Signee)

[Me2SouthBend]

The good news is, he'll be studying towards a diploma from ND. At any of a number of $EC schools, he might as well have used the diploma as a coaster.

 

[koonja]

So this is a situation where he'll be placed on medical hardship, opening up a scholly?

Yes.

 

[Junkhead]

That stinks. I looked forward to seeing the big guy get out there and roll some heads. Good luck to Tate, get that degree!

 

[mgriff]

Lattimore and Nichols should be in every recruiting conversation we have. You're still set to live a great life with an incredible income with a degree from ND.

 

[Emcee77]

Terrible news. Good luck, Tate.

Here's to Tate!

He took care of a team chemistry issue personally pinning their shoulder pads into the turf a few times.

And now he continues to strengthen our faith in what the university provides should you become injured.

I hope he makes it back.

 

[ThePiombino]

Best of luck, Tate!

"With right tackle Tate Nichols reportedly out due to a career-ending injury", did Sapp confirmed it or he is speculating? It's on the 247 BC depth chart.

3,853 posts, and you still don't know how to rep?

Not surprising, but Tate Nichols no longer on the #NotreDame two-deep at RT. Replaced by Nick Martin at No. 2. Was listed last week.

As a result, Bruce Heggie replaces Nick Martin as No. 2 RG.

Every HS recruit should see The Best that Never Was, the ESPN 30 for 30 documentary on Marcus Dupree. It would scare alot of them into making more mature decisions about where they go to school.

#NotreDame offensive tackle Tate Nichols is likely out for the season with a PCL knee injury, head coach Brian Kelly said.

Hmm, just a PCL, not the ACL or meniscus? Not sure that's career-ending. He could be ready for fall camp next year, right?

[rtrn2glory]

not usually a career ender, but with his history of knee issues who knows...hope he recovers, best of luck still to him.

 

[50milesSE ND]

Hopefully it all works out for him. I was really looking forward to seeing him play. Yes thankfully he chose Notre Dame.

Prepare for a Heggie sighting, cannot wait.

 

[GoldenIsThyFame]

Just want to bump his thread so everyone sees the update:

@BGI_DanMurphy
#NotreDame OL Tate Nichols may not be able to return to action, Kelly says.

@NDatRivals
Kelly said clearance on Hegarty soon, Nichols not as confident he'll be able to return to action, conversation about a medical scholarship.

 

[rtrn2glory]

one of my biggest disappointments that we'll prolly never get a chance to see him compete full speed

no blame on his part of course....poor kid

 

[jakerbluegold]

Dammit! Feel bad for him.
