Update on Josh Furman's knee injury

Here is an update on Josh Furman's knee injury sustained in the Maryland 4A State Championship game from the Washington Post

"The day after the title game Josh Furman saw an orthopedic surgeon, whoo said there didn't appear to be any ligament or structural damage and cleared Furman to playi in the Maryland Crab Bowl all-star game on Dec. 19. Furman will undergo a precautionary MRI exam on Friday, according to his father."

Furman is a class of 2010 recruit that has narrowed his choices to Michigan and Virginia Tech. He plans to announce his decision at the Crab Bowl.

That is excellent news.

Why jeopardize the next step in realizing his undoubted dream of getting to the NFL by playing in a game that means nothing? I think the far wiser thing would be to allow his knee/leg as much time to heal and get back to 100% as possible.

The fact that Michigan is recruiting him has nothing to do with this view. Nothing at all.

What's our latest status with him? Have we reached "gut feeling" level yet?

Sam Webb has repeatedly said he has a strong gut feeling. I think we should feel pretty good about our chances.

Totally agree. However, I think he will play in it because as most of us know every 18 year old thinks that they are invincible. If his father is smart he won't allow him to participate in the Crab bowl. I hope he makes the smart choice.

Looks like a smart kid (I am basing this solely on the fact that he wears glasses). I think that he'll sit this one out. The risk is just too much greater than whatever reward playing in the Crab Bowl would be....unless, of course, his lifelong dream was to play in the Crab Bowl.

the exact same assumption. Intelligence is clearly positively correlated with wearing glasses.

However, Mr. Furman could prove to be a difficult read for someone who thinks that intelligence is negatively correlated with dreads.

Racists everywhere probably don't know what to think about him.

I typically don't relate dreads to intelligence. For me i find that all players with dreads tend to be awesome.

That means he's going to VTech. If he were blue, then our bad luck would have struck him an ACL tear.

That is great news. Wherever he goes it is good to hear he isn't seriously injured but if I were his father I would be echoing Dons' post. Why risk it. If it was bad enough to see a specialist and get an mri on then I would have to imagine it is not 100% and won't be after practicing for the Crab Bowl. If by "playing" in it, the doctor means he is cleared to choose Michigan than I am all for it. If not then I would just sit this one out. No one will fault him or question his toughness.

On the subject of much-unwanted knee injuries, we might need him as a running back...?

He wants to play. To play in the crab bowl and announce that he will further his career in AA is a great ending to his high school days.
