Josh Hough 2022

[RoatanCuse]

Is there any reportable news as to the severity of his injury and his likelihood of playing next year? Sorry if already discussed. Just curious.

 

[Dcuse]

Rumor on the recruiting forum just now by JR Heeter is that me may not play again.

If true, that would be horrible for the kid.

It’s just that. Rumor

 

[JRHEETER]

Yes, big rumor.

Not anything solid just stuff I heard talking casually that the injury was definitely a nasty one and in like October? The person I was talking to had said that they were unsure but that it could be career ending. I had not heard any other updates since then.

However, others have heard he should be good to go by preseason which is massive relief

 

[bigmike]

Hard worker by all accounts. Hopeful for his return.

 

[sufandu]

His dad hasn't been on here in a while, has he?

 

[orangepassion]

If Hough's out until the Fall, who is our #2 RB in Spring Ball? Transfer? Pena?

 

[kcsu]

Just the fact that his return is even being debated is bad news.
At this point we have Tucker and a true Frosh.
Dino needs to bring in 2 Rbs.

What injury happened ?

I know he was walking around in the sidelines late in the season with no crutches and no limp. Given that, I would be surprised if his career is in danger.

If he tore his ACL and maybe MCL just before the start of the season (I believe that is when the injury happened), he should be getting ready to play again right around the start of preseason camp.

That is what I am expecting until I hear differently.

He kicked a big rock too hard.

For a kid at his age ( 18-19) to suffer a knee injury that was that bad and career ending it would have to be really bad. I am with you Tom, I don't doubt the severity but the fact that he won't be able to play again seems strange to me. He still has basically 8 months of full rehab too.

Being debated by a few knuckleheads on the internet? Who stated it was a BIG rumor

 

[dollarbill44]

So, he's either good to go for spring or his career is over. The likelihood is it's somewhere in between.
I think that about covers it.

I would guess he is back doing some running in spring etc and probably ready for camp in August.

 

[Entropic]

Did Dino ever admit to a LBI? Ya know with HIPPA he has to keep everything extra super secret.

He's day-to-day.

Then again, aren't we all.

Dino said back in September that nobody had been lost for the year due to injury.

At some point maybe they were expecting Hough to play the last 3-4 games, but with Tucker playing so well there was no need to rush him back.

 

[4evaOrange]

He kicked a big rock too hard.

Hmmm thought that was a high probability.

 

[PhatOrange]

One of the big concerns I have with Hough post injury is his weight. The injuries that prevent you from working out are not good for big dudes. He’s unfortunately going to have to work twice as hard to get back into game shape. Can’t have a 250# Adonis Amen Moore showing up out of shape with an inner tube. Might take Hough longer than what would be normal.

Dino isn't a healthcare provider, so he isn't subject to HIPPA. He may be subject to some sort of student privacy laws though.

Yeah. Guys like him need to really stay on top of their diet when they can't burn all of those calories through workouts.

Sorry I forgot my sarcasm text. I was pointing out that Dino and his secrets likely wouldn't admit to a lower body injury even though Hough was on crutches.

 

[djorange1989]

I don't know, Dino says he has an owie, that doesn't sound career threatening to me
