Too soon… but a little funny
Jayden Epps diagnosed with concussion

Sounds like he's out of the hospital
Couple people have said this, which seems very strange to me. My daughter is in college right now, if she went into the hospital overnight you better believe my wife and I would go out there to see her (about a 3.5 hour drive).
My kid could go to illinois (i live in texas now) and if i heard he was in the hospital youd better believe id be there. drive fly train whatever
This doesn't offer much clarity into what was wrong or how serious it will be going forward, but still it's very good to hear.
Game tomorrow, parents in town for last home game maybe? And we’re already planning the trip?
Hoping all precautionary

Quote from Mayer: "We don’t know what’s going to happen with him the rest of the season or if he’s going to have to quit basketball." 
Is he still high on all that caffeine?Quote from Mayer: "We don’t know what’s going to happen with him the rest of the season or if he’s going to have to quit basketball."
Prayers to the Epps family. Hope your son is ok. Basketball is meaningless at this point
@skyyclark
Prayers up for a speedy recovery

Seems like it may have been a bad fall? So it sounds like it wasn't a heart-related issue. Just hoping it's not a serious head injury or concussion.

Yeah, my bet is a VERY unlucky collision or something - possibly in addition to an underlying factor like dehydration or something - had Jaden dizzy enough that he passed out afterwards. Scary enough if true but way better than a serious/long-term medical issue!

Here’s to hoping Jaden is feeling okay and back on the court (safely) for us soon!
I just had a 2005 Brian Randle flashback.
Too soon!
Be surprised if he comes back soon. Might be a while.
Yeah… my mom drove 3.5 hours my first year in college when I just told her I wasn’t feeling well. I wouldn’t read too much into parents coming to town when their child is hospitalized for any reason. Let’s just hope for Jayden’s sake it’s not too serious.
I bet you might be right. And wrong.
I give the parents all types of credit for getting to Champaign. Many of us have dropped everything and driven hours to be with a loved one, who was suddenly sent to the hospital.

I hope all is well but if there’s actual risk of an issue I would want him to rest and get better. Basketball isn’t worth your health.

Protocol is much different these days, which is a good thing.

concussions are taken a lot more seriously now. I'm pretty sure guys used to walk around with concussions and not even know it.
