"Pocic suffered an undisclosed hip injury, which required surgery, and his rehabilitation is said to be 4-6 months, making his return in time for spring football "highly unlikey," a source said."

"As for Battle, he suffered from a torn labrum in his hip as well as a sports hernia. Battle's rehab will also take 4-6 months"

My bet as the starting LT and starting open safety spot missing crucial spring practice time.

Sucks most considering both would be first year starters at the position (should they win).

Sucks to hear that for Battle. He would have had a chance to grab Mills' spot in the starting lineup.

He's going to stay at center. This gives saivion smith and X. Lewis a chance to step up. I really want to see Lewis play well I was suprised that he redshirted.

Maybe, but now this forces a lineup change at center and if Clapp, Dodd, or another guy really shines at C it'll open the door for him to try LT

If a freshman is going to step in at safety, I wouldn't be surprised if it's Eric Monroe. I think it'll be a battle btw Jefferson and Battle at FS in fall practice though.

Paris would probably make a better safety than cornerback. He should get some work there.

I guess this means hoverboards are banned along with going to bars.

I also believe Eric Monroe will get playing time early. However, if we steal Jamel Cook he will play early and often

Might explain why Pocic decided to stay

Did I miss something, one of them fell off a hover board?

4-6 months is a fairly lengthy rehabilitation period, isn't it?
