Was a pretty highly rated recruit, too bad but sounds like he's making the right choice.

Does anyone know what "medical non-counter" means, in NCAA parlance?
Concussion issues? Anyone know what the story is?
In his tweet he said he had a very serious neck / head injury in April.
He fractured his C4 Vertebra and is undergoing memory and speech therapy according to the Star Tribune.
Anyone/everyone feels bad anytime a kid has to quit due to health reasons but this one hurts a little extra because this kid has been such a positive representative of the program. He has gone out of his way to tweet positive things, recruit others, etc. Glad to hear he is staying at the U. And, as has already been pointed out - a highly regarded recruit that I was looking forward to seeing on the field.
Glad he's still getting the scholarship funds.
I don't think the school has the option to revoke them (and it would be a complete dick move even if they could) due to injury.

That's why at big schools you see a lot of medical retirements ... and rumors of forcing the student to do that.
On the other hand, the alternative pressures might be far worse.
I mean, we pretty much think that's how we got St-Juste, no?

Did he get hurt playing football, or was it some other cause?
Man. Football is a vicious game. Here's to a full recovery and a successful future. Happy that he is able to continue his education here.
