Don't know how to inbed but Torii looking at his new cleats with Jake Raulerson. Such a sick jacket.

 

[scUM Hater]

Are we sure that is Torii and not Dave Chappel?

 

[Luckylucci]

He was listed as one of the top 5 performers on the West team.

#NotreDame WR commit was having strong week MT @Perroni247 Torii Hunter is down with what looks like a knee injury. He looks in serious pain

Mike Farrell‏@rivalsmike

Looks like a bad knee injury over here at west practice for Tori Hunter. Down on ground in horrible pain. Awful to see. #ND


All-American Bowl‏@ArmyAllAmerican

#westpractice : Notre Dame commit Torii Hunter Jr is down on the field with an apparent left knee injury #armybowl


Jake Brown‏@Jake_Brown

Guys at West practice say #NotreDame WR commit Torii Hunter Jr. went down with what looked like a knee injury a bit ago. Didn't sound good.

 

[clashmore_mike]

Crap.

 

[PraetorianND]

Praying it is not anything too serious....

 

[ThePiombino]

The one fear with these exhibition games. Hope he's ok.

 

[tko]

Hate hearing this kind of news. Thankfully he has verballed to nd and will be taken care of and rehabbed back to full strength. Kirin would just pull his scholarship.

#NotreDame commit reportedly carted off. RT @DamonSayles: Looks like Torii Hunter Jr. is wearing an air cast. #ArmyBowl

 

[rtrn2glory]

sh!t....torii and montelus down with injuries....hoping for the best

 

[Irishnuke]

Not good. Hope it's not too serious but it doesn't sound promising. Hate to see kids, or any athletes for that matter, getting hurt in exhibition games or events.

Unconfirmed but reports downstairs look like Torii Hunter Jr likely has a torn quad

That's a lot better than an ACL/MCL/Achilles.

 

[rtrn2glory]

yikes...that sounds painful.

Unconfirmed but reports downstairs look like Torii Hunter Jr likely has a torn quad

FYI for a LIKELY torn quad:

Symptoms
When a quadriceps tendon tears, there is often a tearing or popping sensation. Pain and swelling typically follow. Additional symptoms include:

•An indentation at the top of your kneecap where the tendon tore
•Bruising
•Tenderness
•Cramping
•Your kneecap may sag or droop because the tendon is torn
•You are unable to straighten your knee
•Difficulty walking due to the knee buckling or giving way

There are surgical and non-surgical options depending on doctor's diagnosis as injuries vary, partical vs complete tear.

A quadriceps tear often occurs when there is a heavy load on the leg with the foot planted and the knee partially bent. Think of an awkward landing from a jump while playing basketball. The force of the landing is too much for the tendon and it tears

Rehabilitation. (Post Surgery) ...

The exact timeline for physical therapy and the type of exercises prescribed will be individualized to you. Your rehabilitation plan will be based on the type of tear you have, your surgical repair, your medical condition, and your needs.

Complete recovery takes at least 4 months. Most repairs are nearly healed in 6 months. Many patients have reported that they required 12 months before they reached all their goals.

We're lucky to have Davonte Neal ahead of him. Plus Fuller can slide into the slot too. He can take a redshirt year, learn the offense, and get stronger.

 

[johnnykillz]

That's a lot better than an ACL/MCL/Achilles.

Achilles isn't normally on the same tier. An Achilles tear could end a career.

And depending on the tear of the quad, it could be much worse than those aforementioned.

 

[NDGirlzRock]

Yeah tore mine playing soccer and I was never the same!!! Achilles that is

 

[tko]

You still rock though

Irish Illustrated ‏@NDatRivals

.@rivalsmike has an injury update on #NotreDame WR commit Torii Hunter Jr. Not good news: http://bit.ly/ZSBfbU

 

[Irish YJ]

Can anyone translate rivals premium above?

 

[Ironman8]

Sounds like its a broken femur per Farrell. Result of an unknown previous stress fracture. Apparently having a rod put in during surgery and will be in the hospital a few days

 

[clashmore_mike]

Man, hoping for a speedy and full recovery.

 

[ResLife Hero]

I'm really not suggesting or advancing any agenda other than Torii's improving health, but at what point would we pull a scholarship offer? I know we've honored offers even after knee, foot, and concussion injuries, but does ND have a point at which they start to look in another direction? This isn't necessarily about Torii in particular, but when would we try to find academic or need based money for someone and pursue a healthier prospect? I can't think of a single time we've done so since I've followed ND, but I only started following the semester before I enrolled.

Only if he lied to ND about something. Pretty sure that's the only way he'd get his scholly pulled. I'm positive his scholarship will be honored as it should.

Agree. Torii is family now and he'll get all the treatment he needs to make as full of a recovery as possilbe.

 

[ResLife Hero]

Definitely agree it should be honored. More of wondering if we ever got to the point of making a "business decision" so to speak. I love that we don't treat prospects like cows in the stockyards, don't get me wrong.

I actually hope that it is just this (and nothing torn). Players seem to recover much more quickly from broken bones.

I hurt my knee playing flag football. Dr's told me it was a torn ACL and it'd be out for 9 months to a year. They X-rayed it and sent me for an MRI and it turned out I broke my fibula and tibia and it was a 6 week recovery.

Femur with a rod will obviously be longer but hopefully the broken bone isn't as bad as torn ligaments. I'm not a Dr. and I don't know about Torii's injury but I'm hoping for the best.

 

[rtrn2glory]

good luck in his recovery...we're behind 1000%
