I just read this on Twitter. He is an inspiration.

that kid scores every minute of every day he has left...twice.

Another Fort Wayne based story. I remember some local coaches trying to convince Crean to recruit Hatch prior to the accident. He was a great HS player. Really inspirational. Props to Bielein (sp?) for how he handled this whole situation.

It is simply an unbelievable story.  So sad.  He comes off as an incredibly strong young man.  I can't even imagine dealing with all of that loss.

Played against him on numerous occasions when I was younger and nothing makes me happier than seeing him able to fulfill his dream.

wow that was beautiful

Credit UM for staying with their commitment to this young man. I am sure he is a positive addition to their locker room. He may never be a star, but he can still help the team.

This is a completely serious question. Does this kid still fly? And if so, HOW?

well...I would imagine that when the Wolverines have to play at Nebraska, Maryland, Penn State or Rutgers...they are flying...

but to answer the 2nd part of your question...I have no idea how he gets on a plane again.

I hope Royce White can harness his flight anxiety after hearing this kid's story.

Having a little fun here....couldn't they spike a glass of milk like they did on the A Team? In all seriousness, good luck to Hatch.

What a heart breaking story the Hatch episode is. His resilience and resolve is a testament to his folks and the upbringing he had. I'm a fan for sure.

knock him out with benadryl and wheel him onto the plane

Great story. Great kid.

 

Not as innocent in how it happened---but I hope DD will get his chance for a comeback soon too!

[rebelhoosier848891 9,588]

Like Hatch--I continue to hope our team will be inspired by DD's recovery and will grow up after going through all of this.  If not---time to show some the door.
