Here's hoping to a speedy and full recovery.

BJ Johnson, let's do this.

 

[CorduroyG]

Good luck Chris.

Next man up. We can still go dancing.

 

[longislandcuse]

The headline I kept refreshing at work hoping not to see.

Get well my man! Bright future ahead!

 

[MSOrange]

Get well and come back even stronger Chris. Hopefully this is the January "drama" that seems to find us on a regular basis and we are done with it for this year!

 

[Jamesvillecuse]

I'm sorry but whose your source? Not going to believe it till I personally hear it from Chris McCullough. Hulk Kid In all seriousness this is horrible news for CM and for the team.

 

[KellySyracuse]

damn, damn, damn. Poor kid

 

[Lawrinson14]

Not advocating injuries here, but this may actually work out for SU and Chris in the long run.

Let's face it, SU ain't winning the national championship this year. This gives Chris a year to work on his upper body strength and HOPEFULLY come back and play for his sophomore year.

 

[JarHeadJim]

WOW this sucks for him. Heres to a speedy recovery Chris!

 

[CuseFaninVT]

That sucks. Hope he can really focus on his recovery, school, and getting stronger and learning the system from the bench.

 

[iommi]

This sucks. All the best, C-Mac.

 

[Shawn91111]

That sucks, all the best in a speedy recovery CMac

 

[44doubledees]

No surprise, actually only surprise is that it was only the ACL, too bad for Chris.

 

[MELOKEITH]

he'll get the medical attention he needs to come back from this - hope he gets plenty of emotional support too from the community and his friends
Hang in there kid - a (big) bump in the road to your future, but a bump you can get over

 

[AZOrange]

No surprise, actually only surprise is that it was only the ACL, too bad for Chris.

yeah this is a positive imo

Gonna be one interesting year next year when we could have 7 "new" bodies to work into the team assuming up to 5 frosh and hopefully a fully healthy CMAC and DC.

 

[orange79]

Heal, work, and make this your challenge - prove 'em all wrong and become a lottery pick. We'll be waiting for you!

 

[Orange87]

Bad news for Chris, the team and the fans. Get well Chris! You want a bright side? Coleman and McCollough healthy and playing together next year. Oh my.

 

[djcon57]

That really sucks. Feeling for CMc.

Hope he gets better and ultimately decides what's best for himself and his family at the end of the season.

 

[CuseFaninVT]

No surprise, actually only surprise is that it was only the ACL, too bad for Chris.

Just out of curiosity, and this is for the medical professionals who play here as well, is there any chance that they might find other issues once they get inside during the surgery? Obviously I hope not, just wondering if there is any chance.

 

[Madbiker]

I feel for CMc. I went through the rehab for ACL and it is a long tough journey. Wish him a speedy and successful rehab. 30 years ago this used to be a career ending injury. Now almost all athletes recover well from the surgery and 98% are as good as new if you give it proper time to heal and rehab and not rush back before the leg strength is 100% regained. It will very interesting now to see how the schollie for Bryant is handled. Someone has to leave to make room, assuming CMc will now be back next season.

 

[Toga]

Heal up and then seize the day!

Stupid question but will his medical needs be fully covered as a D-1 athlete?
