Oronde Gadsden II ... the "OG"

[dasher]

He also needs to show he is healthy to garner the kind of draft slot and contract he should get.

I have to think that Mad was thinking he would portal.

 

[MadNY3]

I would be surprised if he wasn't. Why wouldn't he? We got him a QB. We got him other wr's to take the heat off of him.

I hope he does come back, butt Anae and Beck schemed him into fame. He’s got the WR pedigree, but more TE speed. Seems like a ‘tweener. Either way, I could see him heading to NC ST or wherever Beck goes. Again, hope he stays put, but..

I don't know, he suffered here and now we have players to go with him. Plus, Fran is a great salesman.

I posted this on the recruiting forum. This is OGs' Mom. She has been pretty quiet on Twitter this season.

Pretty good sign

With all the upgrades he could have an incredible season. He catches almost everything thrown in his direction. Now no more double or triple teams or the others players will shred the other teams D.

Speaking personally from someone who had multiple, serious, ankle injuries during my college career i used to not only have my feet taped, but i used ankle compression sleeves and high top shoes for extra support.

The decision to wear high or low top sneakers often comes down to the individual preference - there has not been any significant research that supports the use of one or the other. There is enough evidence which can be used to support either position that advocates of either position are really good at cherry picking the studies that support their preferences to try to claim theirs is clearly superior.

If you were wearing high top sneakers during your multiple ankle injuries, I’m not sure that’s great evidence for how much better high top sneakers are for avoiding ankle injuries as well. I severely sprained my ankle in college and was taping my ankles and wearing high top footwear afterwards because limiting the range of motion of the ankle dramatically reduced pain - I’m not going to pretend that’s conclusive evidence but led me to feel the greatest benefit of high tops was in recovery, not in avoiding injury.

Indeed! Actually, a night and day difference. A smart tactic for sure, but in all likelihood, no more than the illusion of inclusion.

Wildhack: We’re thinking of hiring Fran Brown, what would you think of that?

Player: “That would be awesome!”

My guess is players were fully supportive of the decision that was likely and ultimately made, so a narrative that they were involved in the hiring process was possible. And it gives a chance to stroke the egos of the players involved in a fairly harmless way, so it’s not a bad idea in 2023 to do so.

I guess, your guess, is as good as anyone's guess.

He is staying. As others have stated he doesn't want to leave. Coach FB flew down to SFLA to meet with pops.

My prayers are with OG. Coming back from a Lis Franc injury takes time. Think about how much pressure a receiver puts on his feet! Cutting, jumping, planting,..etc. We need to be patient with him. He may not be ready for the start of the season. We all know what a healthy OG can do.

Oh No! Dr. Bill!!!!

We don't want none of that patience stuff. Nobody wants to hear that. This is a new era. He's starting game 1, getting drafted in the first round and we are winning the whole darn thing in 2024! ;-)

 

[CbusCuse]

But seriously, hope his recovery is going well. Can't wait to have a healthy OG again.

I’m getting goosebumps thinking of McCord lined up in shot gun, with the pass catching LQA next to him. Villari on the end of the line as a TE. Gadsden in the slot with zeed Haynes and Jackson Meeks out wide. With a rotation of players like Alford, brown and gill….. talk about a face lift

 

[sdhall01]

Can he attend pro days if he is coming back? If he can, I gotta think he tests the waters a bit before deciding.

You're forgetting Ross. I bet Ross plays a bigger roll this year than Meeks. Dude is a stud.

Yes I left out all the freshman due to the unknowns. I completely agree one could emerge as a day 1 guy.

 

[Cuseregular]

not a chance he's leaving now would be my take. Not a foot dr. like the esteemed Cusenewbie, but have taught orthopedics and treat such for over 30 years.

McCord being in the fold now would solidify it I'd imagine, but the injury itself is such a unique one, potential more serious than an average broken bone re how much it heals (or not), that one has to think that any NFL team is going to want to see how the foot holds up on the college field before they take a chance a the next level.

That said the good news is the Rx techniques are light years better than they were even a decade ago with PRP, stem cell Rx, electrical assisted healing PT Rx, etc., that I'm guessing he's gonna be good to go, but the combo of the nature of the injury causing NFL hesistation and a game changer at the qb position now would lead me to believe we see OG on the field next year. From my keyboard to God's ears!

With that sort of injury, does playing on turf make him more susceptible for a reoccurring injury or would playing surface not matter as much if fully healed? Any thoughts?

 

[wiseman3]

Not sure if this was posted, but OG is in Boca with the team, and at least healthy enough to throw the ball around on the beach. Things are looking up!

Turf will have no impact

This injury is caused generally by severe pressure on the top of the foot

[Moontan]

I expect him to be back next year and have a 2022+ season on his way to the NFL.

 

[JKinPhilly]

It's just a shame he and McCord will cannibalize each other's Heisman votes

 

[BillSU]

No news is good news.

He wants to stay orange and is waiting on who the QB will be.

Well, now he knows - he's staying!

Oronde was part of a group that visited a VA Hospital today. Love it.
