Trey Teague and Trey Smith tonight at the Madison County Sports Hall of Fame. Just thought it was a cool pic.
Here’s what Trey had to say about coach Pruitt; "Coach Pruitt is a great man, and when he gives you his word, he is going to keep it," Smith said. "He is not a guy that is going to sugar-coat things. He has never lied to me. Anything that he has told me, he has come through on. I respect the man that he is. I am proud to play for him. I am ready to get it going."
His best chance to ever play again is to not play this year, taking those drugs right up until the season, then a few practices and playing isn't the best scenario, most likely just a repeat of before. I know some of you have unrealistic expectations of the man. His medical condition has happened before for other players in other sports. Once it was proven to not be a one time event, his prognosis is most probable that it will follow him the rest of his life. Unfortunately, prohibiting him from ever playing again. I hope that isn't the case for his own future, not Tennessee's, but I doubt he ever plays again.
I’ll disagree with you. If that was the case and the doctors didn’t think he would be able to play again he wouldn’t be out there and the university wouldn’t of allowed him to even touch that field.
Have you been to med school? Do you have a practice? Have you talked to any of his Doctors?The reason he's allowed to be out there is because the doctors cannot say with certainty, i.e. 100%, that it will happen again. Which is equivalent to Lloyd's changes in dumb and dumber. (So you're saying there's a chance). Why would the university not allow him, they aren't forcing him to participate, he is doing it on his own accord with all the knowledge. They aren't liable in that case. And he isn't participating in anything that could cause issues, drills, at low speed, no more contact than he would receive walking down the street bumping into patrons. I'd love to be wrong about him and in five years say you were right, he did play and is playing, making money, all pro. I won't be though.

so ..no?Have you done any research into this? Spent hours looking up the disease? Have any family members that have dealt with it? Read about players in other professions who have? The daily risk that people who are not athletes deal with when they have this affliction? I doubt it. Your response is typical when the outcome isn't the one you desire. Attack the messenger of reality so you can maintain your illusions.

Bigger and in better shape than he was last year and was actually going through drills this year. Last year he ended up playing and didn’t touch the field until fall ball.
I’d say it is looking good for Trey
