Agree.Even though the graft is stable at 6 months post-op I would think very few athletes are ready for top notch competition at this time.
The good news is he will only be a sophomore next year so he could still have a great career even if he misses all of next year.
More good news is that i would guess it is Brent Bankston doing his surgery and that guy is the man at repairing the ACL.He did my left ACL 9 months ago and it feels great.I had the right knee done 15 years ago by another surgeon and the hamstring graft Bankston prefers seems alot better as far as recovery than the patellar tendon graft that most surgeons prefer.
Anyway good luck to Ridley!!I think he will still be an incredible back for us in the future.

LSUGrad83-I have a kid facing the surgery, and that is the only thing that concerns me about Dr. Bankston. From everything I have research, the recovery from ACL repair with the hamstring graft is quicker because it has more stretch than the patellar tendon, but that is also a weakness in that it is more likely to tear again. Since you have had both, what are your thoughts?
Got a chance to meet Ridley at Dr. Bankston's tailgate once last year. Really good kid, and calves to match KW.
