Devin Davis Updates

[sixseis 22]

I'm sorry, but this thought is just selfish on your part. His long term health is the most important thing. I too, wish he could be on the floor, but, this cannot be rushed.

Actually, no, it isn't selfish of him at all. He's simply stating what would be a reasonable timetable IF Devin were ready to go. The poster even mentions specifically that he has no interest in Devin being rushed back.

 

Everyone is so interested in making it clear that they only care for his long term health that they haven't realized NO ONE is disagreeing. Y'all are tripping over yourselves to be the good guy.

We need to redshirt him. We'll be fine without him but more importantly he will have a year to properly recover. And that gives him extra time to get his school work in order.

I just don't know if it's a good idea to put him in a game this year, even if he recovers in time and is medically cleared to play.

I'm just thinking "worst case scenario" if he were to play this year. Now, obviously his health and life are way more important than anything related to basketball, but imagine if he does in fact heal quickly, and finds his way into a game in late February. What if he took an inadvertent elbow to the head, causing some type of longer term injury, or worse?

Can you imagine the PR hit that Fred Glass, Tom Crean, and Indiana University would take for putting him into a game, just a few months removed from a hairline fracture to his skull?

For all parties involved, but mostly for Devin's long term health and ability to live a normal life, it just makes sense to give him a year to get better, back in shape, and fully healthy.

I think we will take the doctors and trainers word for it if they say it is safe then that is good enough for me if not then he wont b back anyhow

Without knowing the true severity of his injuries I would play it safe and redshirt him. But this is stated without full knowledge of his progress.

Once the doctors clear him---it will be up to DD and his family to make the call if he is ready to play and for IU to decide if they will let him.

 

In the end---doctors have to clear him first and none of us know yet if or when that will be.

 

We are all understandably curious ----and this is a good discussion---because he has now been seen at a girls' game in Indy and is mobile again.

 

Prayers---that he keeps making progress and to a speedy recovery!

Where is that picture taken? Is he playing billiards in an art gallery? 

Wait, is that the hospital?

He looks great though. It's always good to see him up and about.

That room is very hospital...y.

Great picture. Awesome to see Devin up and able to participate in activities

The chart below the clock is what made me think hospital. Otherwise, it's pretty nice. Long-term care I suppose.

It's great to see him up and enjoying some activity.

God bless you and the family Devin!

Devin will not play this year and likely will not be back in classrooms semester or next. Brain injuries have little to nothing to do with how he physically looks. These types of injuries take lots of time to recover from.

Speculation or inside info?

I can't believe you'd accuse Crazy Willie of speculating.

Lol honest question. Maybe the "Crazy" means "crazy insider"...?

Wow---we don't have pool tables in our hospitals in Southern Indiana---heck we're lucky to have doctors! LOL!
 

[rebelhoosier848891 9,588]

In all seriousness----get well soon DD! 

 

Prayers....
