Is that true? I seem to recall that being said about DRose, but he didn't have the same athleticism afterwards.

Whatever the case, wish him well with his recovery. He contributed to Illinois, and his commitment was a big boost for the program. We all wish he fit better and stayed, but IMO there's no call for sour grapes.

DRose refused to listen to his doctors, so we can leave him off as an example.

Robbie Hummel was never the same. Of course, he eventually tore it twice, but he was a shadow of his former self.

It is sometimes helpful to wait a bit after the injury to let the trauma and swelling go down before surgery. Assuming there are not extensive injuries to other parts of the knee, you can live without an ACL and even do some straight ahead exercises like biking. So, if he they are patient enough to wait for surgery, AM may benefit in outcome because his injury occurred before the beginning of the season. I am not suggesting he wait this long, but I had ACL replacement a few years after injuring it, and 30+ years later with a very active lifestyle, I am lucky to have absolutely no residual impacts from the injury.

Glad to hear that, but is an "active lifestyle" comparable to an aspiring NBA baller? That's a huge load on knees and even a small decrease in stability would matter. Plus, they don't really know how far along their months long healing process is, so there's a confidence issue that goes with it.
