So even though he is cleared he isn't allowed to have contact until at the earliest middle August.


Heard that on radio is that right?

That’s what the article stated as well. He needs to be cleared via imaging before he can make contact, and they need to allow coagulation to resume after coming off blood thinners.

I like the way Pruitt handled this. And Trey mentioned this was very important to him as well that nobody even brought up football or anything like that until recently. Here is an excerpt:

"When I first got the verdict back in February, I understood the severity of what was going on. But it was comforting that everybody at UT just kept telling me that it wasn't about football, but about my well-being and my life, and not when I was going to get back. They were concerned about me as a person.

Henry Smith said it was only a few weeks ago that Pruitt even mentioned anything about playing football again, and Pruitt has reiterated to Smith that there's no need to rush.
"To me, football was irrelevant in this whole deal," Pruitt said. "We just wanted to make sure that Trey was going to be OK. I'm sure he will have some anxiety over this, even though he's been out there working every day for two months. He just can't have contact. He's been training. He's in shape. He's not going to have to play his way into shape, so that should help him.
"The thing I wanted to make sure of was that everybody was on the same page. I trust our doctors and the people we've sent him to and know they wouldn't do anything that would put any of our players in harm's way."

Wes Rucker confirmed the report put out with some wording that gives me pause. Trey has been given no guarantee that the clots won’t return. That’s very scary.

You didn't read the ESPN article did you? Trey and his family know this is true and decided to play football anyway

No, he has no guarantee at all. The good news is they have some of the best experts in the world confirming/treating what he has. They will monitor his blood work continually, and he will take the proper precautions. There are people all around us walking around with similar issues untreated. Clotting disorders are no joke, but if they are managed properly the risks can be reduced significantly.

To be honest, I don’t love it for him. I assume he’ll have weekly tests to determine his playing status and that he won’t be allowed to take blood thinners during the season.

It’s scary but all we can do is hope for the best.

Great news.

I’m certain he will be monitored as closely and intensely as possible while he plays. Seems like everyone has his health and well being at the forefront. They won’t put him in a dangerous situation.

Praise God for Trey and his family. What a hard time to get through. As for him playing, I'm going to let him and his family make that call. They know infinitely more about the whole situation than any of us on this board. This OL is about to whip some DL's this fall.

Might as well earn a ridiculous income that will give him access to the best healthcare imaginable.

It probably doesn't matter how good he performs in the next 2 years, his ceiling is now probably late first round unless something drastically changes medically.

that is way more than I thought we would start camp with. I can dig it though. 4-5 will probably get switched out as that always happens so I expect about 8-10 new names between now and Feb.

I would recommend reading the ESPN article. It has direct quotes from the doctors and others involved instead of Rucker's takes. The doctors mentioned there's no guarantee but that there would be no guarantee even if he didn't play anymore. I don't think this is a decision that is being taken lightly. And Rucker seems to be trying to put a spin on it TBH.
