This guy is going to be a monster. Even as a 4-star, far and away my pick for most underrated. Think of him as the video game Deon Walker, lol

If we didn't already have devonte in slot I would love to see this guy hit the field this year

torii's recovery just shows how rapidly sports medicine has developed in recent times. The guy looks like he will be on field come the summer, thats crazy!!
I still remember the days when a ACL/MCL tear was a career ending injury

Great news! Probably still a redshirt but great that he can use that year to get better instead of rehabbing.
6 weeks? Incredible.
I think he would've been redshirting regardless of his injury

I think this guy is going to be a star. I don't follow any Irish players besides Nix, but I'm very interested in TH JR's road to recovery. My pick for sleeper of the class. I see no need for him to burn a RS, though.

Love seeing updates on this kid. What a gamer. Working your butt off in rehab is worse and harder than doing it in sport in my experience. He still has such a positive attitude. I love it!

This guy is my sleeper in this class, but I'd be shocked if he did anything this year. That injury, although healing rapidly, is a bad one. He's not going to strap on the cleetes and be the same once 100%. I assume he'll have a lot of weight training to catch up on.

I am just going to follow you around the database
. I like our WR class as a whole. Torii, Will, Corey, James, add in Tarean and our two stud TE's with all our existing pass catchers and I don't see why this offense can't get it done. Davaris and TJ are going to have very good years!

I would think his playing time for 2013 will be strictly controlled by his physical status. It's not just the bone healing but more importantly re-developing the muscles to support the bone. I don't know that time frame but this was a significant injury.
I can't see ND or the Hunter family rushing him back until the risk of re-injury or aggravating the injury are nil.
