Following potential 2014 draftees

Utes and Kansas just scheduled a game next year.

Wright and Loveridge gonna dominate Wuggins and Embiid. (assuming Wright and Loveridge don't leave early for the NBA)

Really awesome read about ACL injuries I found today. I really love it when medical expertise is dumbed down for normal mortal human beings.

The one thing I read that I disagree with is the part about the pain. If you have an isolated ACL injury, you don't have much pain initially, but will in a few hours after the swelling comes along. When I tore mine, It didn't really hurt until later that night. Now if you have other knee injuries with it (MCL, LCL, meniscus) then you will have pain right away. Otherwise a good article.

Considering Wiggins and Embiid will be in the NBA... you just may be right, although Kansas will have other talented freshman. Its nice to see that Utah is scheduling a team that I've heard of.

Somewhere in the article there is this piece:
And Peterson had another piece of luck, if you can call tearing your ACL luck. He only tore his ACL and MCL. He didn't have a meniscus issue. As his physical therapist Russ Paine said, "Part of the reason for someone not returning back is not that they're not trying hard, but it's the status of the interior of the joint." A bad joint makes it much harder. According to Paine, Peterson's knee was pristine.

I'd say this might explain that the pain stems from the additional damage your joint takes. But it wasn't pointed out directly. I guess you simply didn't injure your surroundings and others did that which caused the immediate pain.

It's really a bummer and I'm thinking Rose won't be the same after reading that whole thing and another medical report. About the stress you put on your knee playing basketball the way Rose does. How landing with your legs stretched influences your health compared to landing with your knee bent.
Now I should look how Wiggins lands after jumping ;) His style of play might make him susceptible for injuries how he can change direction and leap in traffic.
