Geez, I wouldn't figure hunter in that position, but I guess he has been busy being a diddy. We should be hearing something soon about these PSU players because it's not like they have forever to decide.

Recovering physically and trusting the knee mentally are two different things.

I think you said to name someone who took 2 years to recover. You don't think a player has to recover mentally from a torn ACL? If he hasn't recovered mentally, then he hasn't recovered. Am I correct?

DECOMMITTED
•CB Ross Douglas (Avon, Ohio/Avon): He decommitted from Penn State on Monday and was recently offered by Ole Miss. The Rebels are looking to stock up on the defensive side of the ball, especially in its defensive backfield. Kentucky and Tennessee, who would also like to add depth to their secondaries, have offered as well.
COMMITTED
•QB Christian Hackenberg (Fork Union, Va./Fork Union Military Academy): He's the nation's No. 1 quarterback prospect and he's currently waiting to see how things play out for Penn State. While he's currently committed to Penn State's staff, Alabama, Florida, Georgia South Carolina and Tennessee have all shown interest and offered. The thing is that they all have quarterbacks in their classes, but if there's a chance to re-recruit the nation's top quarterback, staffs will try.
•OT Dorian Johnson (Belle Vernon, Pa./Belle Vernon): When he committed to Penn State, Johnson's final four didn't include any SEC schools, but he does hold offers from Alabama, Ole Miss and Tennessee. The nation's No. 2 offensive tackle could receive more attention from SEC schools between now and national signing day.
•TE Adam Breneman (Camp Hill, Pa./Cedar Cliff): SEC schools have been very interested in the nation's top tight end. Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Georgia, Ole Miss, South Carolina and Tennessee have all offered and while he said Monday that he's still committed, a host of schools will go after him. Florida is an interesting school to look at because the Gators just parted ways with tight end A.C. Leonard last week.
•OG Brendan Mahon (Randolph, N.J./Randolph): Florida and South Carolina have offered and you can never have too many quality offensive linemen in college football, especially in the SEC. He said on Monday that he's still committed to Penn State, but if SEC schools come calling, it'll be hard for him not to listen.
•OT Andrew Nelson (Hershey, Pa./Hershey): Missouri has offered and the Tigers wouldn't mind adding some depth up front. Most of the schools that have showed strong interest in him are East Coast schools, so Missouri could be a nice change of scenery for Nelson if he decides to get out of his comfort zone.
•DE Garrett Sickels (Little Silver, N.J./Red Bank): He said on Monday that he's still committed to Penn State and has been one of the more loyal commits in this class, but that won't stop SEC schools from going after Sickels this fall. Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Ole Miss, South Carolina and Tennessee have all offered.
•WR Zach Bradshaw (Demascus, Md./Demascus): He isn't the most heralded receiver out there, but South Carolina has offered.
UNCOMMITTED
•RB David Williams (Philadelphia, Pa./Imhotep Charter): He's an ESPN 150 member and is one of the biggest uncommitted players still on Penn State's board. He's a bigger back (6-1,192 pounds) and rushed for 1,950 yards and 20 touchdowns as a junior. Auburn, South Carolin and Tennessee have all offered.

So now what we are debating isn't the physical ability to recover, but his mental ability? I think we have gone way off the reservation now. You could potentially support a 2 year average recovery time with objective medical data. It is hard to objectively quantify someone's ability to overcome an injury emotionally, especially if you do not know them personally.

And for everyone who says: "I had a torn ACL and it took me X long to recover". I ask did you play SEC football, or did you have the athletic measurables of JH? If so, let's compare apples to apples. If not, it is like trying to compare problems with a ford F150 to that of a Porsche.

Sir, have you bumped your head on something?

We were discussing recovery.

Perhaps. But how can you be sure that a guy like Hunter, who plays a position that is much harder on the knee than Hightower's, fully trusts his repair?

legit question...i remember hearing hunter in a spring interview saying that he " doesnt quite trust it" yet.....but, just a few days ago, in another interview with a different player, i heard things like " he's 100 5...he's back" and " he's better than ever" so i guess we'll just have to wait 38 more days and we should know for sure by about 10pm that night....GO VOLS

I'm pretty much over the whole Kiffin thing, but to grab this one from them would make me tingle all over.

No, what's gonna make you tingle all over is when, after all is said and done if we do get lucky and catch a few breaks before the season and good news with hopefully a surprise Redd and maybe 1 more player--we get those breaks during the year and see usc by miracle in major bowl--then win

Let me just say this, if all that were to happen I might have to drive by ol' kiffy's house, stand out front, and pump up some Rocky Top, John Cusack style.
