Not that he would not be able to fight through it, but at what risk? I don’t know the math but I am certain the risk of injury goes up as the level of fatigue goes up. I think I read that his agent/parents want a second option. Not sure who the Einstein Yarder was who posted the risk of re-injury on an ankle sprain is not a factor. This is not a rolled ankle for goodness sake, it is much worse and re-injury risk is high if he comes back so soon. I really cannot imagine how often they due an MRI or some type of scan during the recovery time. My guess is these scans as the healing gets close to the end can be evaluated differently from one doctor to another. They are looking at it so closely and I don’t think the UConn doctors would purposely suggest he is more healed than what they actually think. But there is a reason why most pro athletes regardless of team get their surgeries from one or two surgeons for every type injury. There is the foot doctor in Green Bay who probably looked at Donovan’s injury scans. Some of these guys are just way better and looking at an MRI or an injury and making better prognosis’s. The other specialists that come to mind is Neil Attrache(?) LA and Dr Andrews in Alabama. I hope I am wrong and if Liam plays it will only be because there is no one saying he actually cannot….and he decides to play. But I think the best we can hope for is that he is in uniform and Marquette has to wonder wether or not Hurley is going to put him in. And even if he does play we would be silly to think he is going to pick up right where he left off. [/QUOTE]
