That's so horrible to hear.

At this point he should just transfer back to Illinois, honestly if we're leaving a roster spot open might as well give it to a elite glue/culture guy vs a late add or another mid-season Euro...

Very sad to hear this. I hope Ty can move on from trying to play and sincerely hope he gets into coaching. Great attitude and grit. Might make someone a great starting assistant coach.

Pretty vague report. Hopefully, it was a minor procedure, though vagueness is usually not a great sign...

I'm not sure I'd be ready to give up if I were him, but the thought might cross my mind...

Sometimes life is an AKC Certified B----.

Awful news - wishing nothing but the best for Ty - hopefully it ends with a story of him coming back again and showing what he's capable of
