Is Turay going to play this season?

[BlockR]

coming off two surgeries? WOW.didnt know that..

Ash says the team needs Kemoko Turay "badly" but he has a long way to go. Turay had two shoulder surgeries, which has really set him back.

 

[Crazed_RU]

I'm hoping he didn't hit his peak with the Michigan field goal block...

 

[ArminRU]

Maybe towards the end of season. He hasn't lifted in months and is way out of the grind.

 

[mildone]

Does he still have a redshirt to use? Maybe medical redshirt him for the season if he's not going to be available for the whole thing. Let him work out, learn, practice and stay healthy and come out strong next season.

 

[fbc1866]

We will need for him to contribute this year.

 

[Sir ScarletKnight]

He's out for at least the first four games.
Apparently Flood asked him to delay the second surgery in order to try and contribute last year.

:uzi: Flood

 

[RUskoolie]

Kid has a lot of work to do. He has almost no upper body strength to play DE in the B1G.

The gift that keeps on giving.

Not really, he redshirted as a freshman. You have 5 to play 4, unless you miss two years due to injury and can request a 6th year.

From Ash's presser, it sounded like his second surgery was this year. He had his first surgery in January and then was making progress until the second one was necessary. Flood still should have shut him down last year.

Elmer Flood..the gift that keeps giving.

Crazed I hope he didn't do the damage on that play

Everything everyone heard last year - or at least everyone I know - was that Flood NEVER should have let Hamilton play against Penn State.

Looks like Flood was even worse for Rutgers than he looked by the time he was fired.

For those interested: I supported Flood at the beginning of last season and only gave up on him towards the end of last season.

I supported him until he got suspended/ I read the report.

I'm just going off what I was told in the dining hall by one of the players.

I was fully behind him until the multiple arrests that happened in August; that knocked me to 'neutral'...then THAT email came out-'Im writing this from my private email to circumvent record request laws'. That pulverized my support. The WSU game/ fallout and subsequent suspension/ PSU debacle vaporized what was pulverized. I remember saying to a co-worker the week leading up to the PSU game (he asked me if I thought Flood was going to stay or not) that 'he'll finish the season and they'll cut him loose'. My co-worker, who is also an assistant coach at a HS program that produced a current team member, noted, 'I don't see how he survives this. I don't know how he can continue to recruit, talk to families and bring kids in with their parents knowing what's happening on his watch.'

...I never wish anyone ill will in terms on employment but the second the Maryland game ended I would have walked to the Hale Center and packed his office up for free if Rutgers asked me to. Everything that has come out since then about his regime almost makes me upset that I ever supported him as HC.

And how would Flood know he would need a second surgery?

 

[JoeRU0304]

And how would Flood know he would need a second surgery?

...I would think the team doctor gave some sort of medical report indicating two procedures/ actions needed to be done and they could possibly be staggered. That, or it was originally thought just to be 1 procedure that Turay was asked to put off till later, and after it was done they saw he still needed further surgery. Dunno for sure though.

Do you even follow this program?

 

[scarletrat]

And I wanted stupid flood to be fired after 2010 season.

 

[Knightmoves]

Will go you one better. I never wanted him as HC in the first place. It was a desperation move by Pernetti to save a recruiting class. There was no objective indication that Kyle Flood would become a good HC at the time. He wasn't even a good OL coach. That's why we ended up running the WildKnight offense when we had a future NFL QB behind Center. Only at RU could that type of job performance lead to a promotion.

You could be right, I was going on how I understood Ash's comments. The main point is still the same.

I've been following this program since before you were an oft regretted gleam in your mother's eye.

Well do yourself a favor then. Learn what redshirting is and then figure out which of our star players have been through the process already.

Hamilton admitted as much in a recent Dunleavy article. He doesn't blame Flood but I sure as hell do (technically Wilson coached that game but Flood was involved in all of the game planning).

http://www.app.com/story/sports/col...n-resumes-rutgers-football-practice/82659114/

In hindsight, Hamilton admits he shouldn’t have risked being on the field, though his actions came from the place of a co-captain seeing his team’s top offensive player and coach suspended.

“No, I shouldn’t have,” Hamilton said, “but that was a decision solely that I made. I wanted to be out there. I wanted to play with the guys.

"Obviously, it wasn’t the smartest decision I ever made. I’ve never been one to make the smartest decisions. I’m a big fan of acting on impulse, and that’s what I did. Fortunately, it didn’t hinder me more than it already did, and I’m able to get back out here.”

Flood will go down in my book as a decent guy who was put in a position to fail and was simply overmatched as many (including myself) would have guessed he would be. He also grew increasingly desperate as things spun beyond whatever control he ever had and who made some really stupid decisions as a result.
