Prince Tega should be "Good to go by May": Schools Visiting, Honoring Offers

Wanogho Jr. suffered a tibia/fibia fracture in his left leg after an opposing player rolled into his leg on Tuesday night. It was a "clean break," according to Edgewood Academy coach Bobby Carr, and doctors told the 6-foot-8 athlete he should be good to go by May.
Ole Miss head coach Hugh Freeze visited Wanogho Jr. at the hospital on Wednesday. Alabama head coach Nick Saban and defensive coordinator Kirby Smart are expected to meet with him on Thursday. Alabama has yet to offer him a scholarship, but has shown serious interest and wanted to bring him in for an official visit.
Every school that has offered Wanogho Jr. -- there are many -- has reached out in some way to say the scholarship offer still stands, according to Carr. Auburn, Texas, Florida and Georgia, among others, have all offered the four-star prospect.
He took an official visit to LSU last weekend and he will weigh whether he'll take additional official visits in the coming weeks after his recent surgery.

We may have inadvertently landed the final visit.

We might be the only school that he gets to visit. I see it has hard to GEAUX visit a campus with an injury that serious.

Seriously. No need to rush back from an injury like that. Would be so much less likely to re-injur it if you just sit out a year. He could use a year learning the system and football in general anyway.

A quote from an "LSU fan" doc about these types of injuries: "I did the exact surgery on a kid his age last week and he came walking into my clinic today. Usually can start immediate weight bearing the day after surgery. Temporary set back is all. 2-3 months for long bones to heal up." He said long bones in young people are not season ending injuries like ankles (Kwon) or knees and ligaments. Reiterated he should be 100% in a few months.

Tega in good spirits. Surgery went great. Back to full health in 4 months, by May. He definitely needs to pick either football or basketball. (Injury would be less likely if he had not been playing two high impact sports at once, handling school, recruiting, and learning football for first time this fall.)

Another Classic Les Miles Quote: "Les Miles told me the other day he likes the fact Tega has only played football for four months in his life," Edgewood Academy football coach Bobby Carr told AL.com. "He said you can't teach a kid to run like a deer and have an NFL body. But he said he can teach him the game of football."
For those who doubt, Laquon Treadwell, who suffered a worse injury is already back pushing a sled and running on a treadmill after less than 3 months. He posted a pic pushing a sled and video running on a treadmill yesterday.

Tega was playing 2 high impact sports at the same time, football for the first time this fall. Not good. With today's technology that LSU and most top sports organizations have, the total stress on the body is monitored daily. This is done with the Catapult Sports system and also head trauma is measured with the special mouthpieces that LSU wears by i1 Biometrics (the only school in the nation to have this). The results from both show that a lot of conventional workouts, 2-a-days, do more harm than good and without adequate recovery time injuries and concussions go up. That is why full workouts past Wed impact Saturday performance, and why 40 yd dashes build more breakaway acceleration than 100 yd runs: some players running bursts over 23 mph! HUNH O's and D's (ALA, OR, etc.) train while constantly moving. Players are held out of practice and games whenever stress totals exceed a max limit and given recovery time to prevent performance decline or injury.

After the Rueben Foster targeting hit and celebration that was not called, I wonder if LF7 had a concussion or other injury as he was missing in action for a while. Foster was wearing a now extinct "Cowboy Collar" because of how he launches headfirst trying to knock players out of the game.

I think he ends up here Auburn will get Cowart and Jefferson and Bana is full and may not offer.

A tib-fib fracture ended my playin career in college basketball. The bone does heal, but I was never the same. Not to say he won't be, but this isn't just a little setback.
