The good news

The good news is that this injury happened way early in spring practice.  Who knows what the actual diagnosis is, but if it's a "simple" ACL tear he could be back in six months and ready for the conference schedule.

At least it's now and not during the season so that someone has all of spring and summer to step up before the season. Hope Jake recovers quickly though, he's a great guy and football player.

Rough timing. Spring practice is always a tough time for a serious injury because it is not enough time to heal. Tough break to an awesome athlete. Lets hope he can rehab and recover.

Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems

Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems like most sixth year players get it because they missed their fifth year due to injury.  Since Ryan still has 2014 to play (in addition to however soon he can return in 2013), I would sort of doubt that he gets a sixth year...if he even applies for one.

I'm pretty sure that the initial redshirt season has to be due to an injury. I don't think that was the case with Ryan.

He could have mine if it would speed up his recovery time, I only use it for some light weekend jogging, I'm sure I could manage without it.

Jake has been my favorite Michigan athlete for the better part of two years. More than any other reason, I was excited for the fall to see what jake would do.



Now for the part of my reaction beyond my own selfishness. Nobody deserves a full recovery and all the success his potential should bring him more than jake Ryan. Get well soon jake

Your "Frowney Rodriguez"

Your "Frowney Rodriguez" avatar is pretty damn appropriate for this thread.

The Good News is that UM's LB corps is probably the unit best situated to overcome such a devastating blow. The Bad News is that it is still pretty unlikely that anyone who fills in for Ryan will perform at the level he was likely to achieve this coming season.

It's not an easy thing to do when you're itching to get back out there, but I hope he waits until he's fully recovered to return. Sometimes guys come back too quickly and reaggravate the injury.

I know he already redshirted a year, but what are the chances that he can get medical hardship?  I mean, we have seen the NCAA do this before, no?

It is certainly possible that Ryan could be granted a 6th year. I really doubt he will stay around to even ask for one though as he was a genuine risk to leave early after the 2013 season.

I've been reading some more

I've been reading some more and it sounds like there is really a very slim chance that he'd get it.  His original redshirt wasn't due to a medical hardship, so he isn't eligible under the rules for a medical redshirt where we usually see people get a 6th year.  It sounds like he is able to apply for a redshirt after his fifth year, but those seemingly rarely get granted.  And as you metioned, he'd most likely be gone by then.

Jordan Shipley of Texas was granted a 6th year medical hardship. It happens. It's just rare.

We've never had one. I think Spencer Brinton got 6 years. But I think it had to do with him going on some kind of Mormon mission.

Correct me?

The difference with Shipley

The difference with Shipley is that he was injured in both 2004 and 2005.  Jake Ryan's original redshirt wasn't due to an injury so it isn't the same situation.

Dang, that really hurts.  Our best playmaker on defense out for the season...ouch.  At least we have decent depth here.  I know Gordon will get the start but, McCray...will need to be ready to contribute immediately, no RS for you.  Man, that hurts 2 years in a row to lose a top playmaker to an ACL.

One good thing to come out of this; unless he's had a previous year in that same ACL, they generally come back stronger than they were. After the second tear however...not so good my friend.

I wouldn't be entirely opposed to moving Bolden to SAM as a backup to Gordon...  We have several capable inside linebackers.  I wasn't a big fan of Beyer at SAM, but at least he has experience there and we would still have two weakside ends with playing experience in Clark/Ojemudia.

I tore my ACL in high school (ACL only). I was cleared for full contact and explosive exercises 3-4 months later. So maybe there's an outside chance he could be ready to play by season's end?

NOOO!!!

You need disrupters on defense and Jake was easily our most disruptive player.  Even when he didn't make the tackle, Jake was blowing up plays all year long.

You aren't going to replace a guy like Jake, period.  What you have to hope is that several other guys step their game up, if they don't the defense is not going to be the same.  I thought our defense was going to have to have several guys step up to be close to as good as last year before Ryan was lost, now it's just really important that young guys develop quickly.

We've basically lost our 5 best players(Ryan, Roh, Demens, Kovacs, Campbell) off that defense from last year and a 6th (Countess) is coming back from ACL surgery himself.  I have faith in MAttison though that we will still be able to field a top tier defense.

Personally, I have no fear

Personally, I have no fear that UM will be able to adequately replace the output of Roh, Demens and Campbell. None of those guys did anything really "special" at their positions. They weren't liabilities (for Campbell that was an improvement on his previous three seasons) but they weren't big "impact" players either.

Kovacs is an odd case of a guy whose loss will hurt in some ways and won't in others. Probably a slight downgrade in total as far as replacing Kovacs but not a devastating one.

Heard On The Radio...

....on the way back from lunch, then saw this thread. Terrible news, and I wish Jake Ryan a speedy and full recovery. His presence and production will be missed out there, but all the same, Hoke's comment did remind us, I believe, that JMFR can still be just that in a way, even while recovering:

"I know he will attack his rehabilitation just like he does everything else and will be back when he's ready."

Still, in the interim.....damnit.

I think it's highly questionable that Blake Countess was our best defensive player last year, especially considering the fact that this one guy named Jake Ryan was healthy last season.

I agree

 I was talking about who was projected to be our best player, which should have been obvious given the fact that Ryan played and Countess didn't.

I still don't think the part-time starting cornerback who had zero interceptions in 2011 was projected to be our best defensive player in 2012 by many people.

I agree that such

I agree that such expectations were silly, but I think they were still out there, in large numbers.

People always like to project greatness onto underclassmen who perform well, and I remember a lot of people saying Countess was to be our best defender. The reason I remember this is because I, like you, thought it was a stretch.

In regards to Jake Ryan, he was clearly going to be our best player, and one of the best in the B1G. His ability to chase down plays while being blocked is the best I have ever seen from one of our guys. He ignores would be blockers in the way that very few collegiate players do. This is a big loss.

But the expectation is for the position. Just as Raymon Taylor stepped up last season, I expect Cam Gordon to as well.

I think he'll get a medical redshirt. The only positive spin that I can put on it is next year's linebacking corps will have a hell of a lot of experience on it...

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I don't think he will get a red shirt.  He's already been redshirted so it is highly unlikely the NCAA will grant him a 6th season of eligibility, unless they can go back and prove he was also injured his freshman year and that's the reason he was kept out.

Linebacker shakup

Anyone care to speculate on who becomes our backup at WILL assuming Morgan moves permanently to MIKE?  Bolden seems like the backup at SAM and/or MIKE and Ross is the starting WILL, right?  Will Poole, Jones, even McCray back up Ross?  Basically how does this shake up the rest of the linebackers?

Cool

Cool, thanks Magnus!  I especially like that you made me go your site to see the content;)  Well, it's nice that we have that many options.  It seems like Ojemudia may have the best skill  set and body to make the switch but I don't see the coahces going that route.  I'm thinking Gordon goes there and Bolden backus up both at SAM and MIKE, Morgan takes waay more snaps at MIKE than WILL, and Ross becomes the full time starter at WILL...then we hope against hope that all four are healthy all year long or that's when the real trouble begins.  Which option would be your preference or were they in order?

That he'd likely not be eligble for due to being redshirted electively as a freshman. 

I didn't know this previously either. This was covered elsewhere in the comments and also the front page. Truthfully previous to this injury I thought he might only be on the team for 1 more year then to NFL...but this is not the way I'd like his 1 more year.

First off, before I start

First off, before I start venting, I hope Jake has a speedy recovery, and we can see him on the field whenever he is ready. His presence on the field is going to be sorely, sorely missed.

Michigan must be second to Purdue in terms of bad injuries to key players. Countess tears his ACL, Denard has a bad nerve injury, Fitz breaks his leg, now Jake MF Ryan tears his ACL.

I know we have solid depth at linebacker, and Ross/Bolden/Morgan will be great. But this is like a swift kick to the balls, and then when you're lying on the ground crying in pain, you get kicked in the balls again just for the hell of it. Torn ACL's are bad no matter who they happen to on our team, but in terms of having to replace production, this could not be any worse on the defensive side of the ball. Its probably the equivalent of losing Gardner, Gallon or Lewan on offense for next year (for the love of all that is holy, knock on wood).

At any rate, Cam Gordon is going to have to step the fuck up, and Mike McCray can probably kiss a redshirt goodbye. His level of talent might have gotten him playing time anyway, but now he's going to be expected to contribute from Day 1 instead of hoping for mop-up duty. Not the kind of pressure I want on a true freshman. If only he could have been an early enrollee. We've got a LOT of tackles, sacks and TFL that we've got to replace right now. If there's any silver lining, at least it happened now instead of Fall camp.

Given the situation, I feel closing with the following is only appropriate: FUCCCCCCCKKKKKKK!!!!

Extremely unfortunate, yes, but we have a lot of good depth at his position and if he doesn't return in 2013 it just means we'll have him for another year. Also, maybe he can make a freakish Adrian Peterson-like recovery, I wouldn't count on it though.

Theoretically, he could

Theoretically, he could return by the start of the conference schedule. But that's an absolute best-case scenario. I don't know much about ACL tears, but I'm guessing a six month recovery time would mean it would have to only be a partial tear and no other damage to the ligaments around it. And he'd need to absolutely bust his ass off in re-hab. Not that I'm worried about him not doing that.



It's certainly possible that he could be back by the conference opener. But if I were you, I'd brace for the possibility that Jake won't see the field until maybe bowl workouts next winter. And at that point, they might just not want to risk anything, so they'll tell him to sit out until winter workouts. Very real chance Jake won't play again until App State 2014.

Assume Ross at WLB and Morgan at MLB

Shift Bolden to Sam? Or move either Beyer or Clark to Sam? Gordon will start but there needs to be rotation. can't expect McCray to step in right? Thoughts? We do have good depth here at least.

prognosis/recovery TBD

i'm not sure these press releases allow one to understand the exact nature of the injury, prognosis for recovery or time table for recovery. obviously, this is all protected, confidential information.

worst case scenario he is out for the entire year,- there is a lot of linebacker depth and a lot of options. cam gordon has been touted recently and might be ryan's replacement.

if devin gardner has a serious injury, there may be no viable options and the prospects for a winning season would be dubious.

Agreed

I don't think the loss of Ryan will effect the number of games won/loss due to good depth. Where if Gardner went down it would absolutely effect the number of games won/loss.

Not worth a post of its own

Not worth a post of its own on the MGoBoard because it's unsubstantiated speculation but...

Per the 11w comment section, there's this from former OSU player Reid Fragel:

Reid Fragel tweeted "Karma at its finest" about 45 minutes ago. I worry that was in regards to Ryan, I hope not.  He's one of Michigan's best defenders-so when Michigan and OSU play, Michigan will be light one of its best players, therefore the Game will be a little less awesome=Everyone loses.

That could be about anything but what makes things a bit darker is this follow-up from an MSU fan

@Fragel77 if this is in regards to what I think it is, then yes, karma is an AHole

The same MSU fan also tweets:

Jake Ryan torn ACL....no more flow, a tweet that is favorited by Fragel.

Now, certainly the MSU tweeter is not representative of all Spartan fans and I'd like to think that Fragel isn't representative of all his former teammates, but... yeah.
