7th rounder for Ike

[Tyrone Bigguns]

Word is he hurt his knee while training for the combine in AZ. Had to be transported to the ambulance via a stretcher.

Well, I guess he's coming back for another year at UW after all. I don't think he stays declared for the draft at this point.

Further proof the combine is moronic.

Once you declare yourself for the NFL draft, there's no going back to the NCAA. Ike's chances at a big payday are gone if he did sustain an injury.

i thought you could unless you have hired an agent?! or is this for another sport?

He hired rosenhaus.

Per JSO....

Jack Ikegwuonu, the former University of Wisconsin cornerback, blew out his knee Tuesday in a training exercise and won't play football in 2008.

Ikegwuonu suffered tears of both his anterior cruciate and medial collateral ligaments as well as damage to his kneecap, according to a source close to the situation, and will need reconstructive knee surgery.

Ouch. That's really got a be hard blow for Ike. I feel sorry for the guy. He made a foolish decision to come out this year, but to go from training for the combine to not playing football for a year, maybe longer. That's gotta be really tough.

Somewhere Partial just shit his pants, threw up on himself, and is probably busy crying in the fetal position naked in a dark corner.

Perhaps the biggest tragedy in all of this is now we'll never know just how dumb his top 10 prediction was.

[Partial]

Precisely. We'll never know. It's a shame. Dude is a straight up stud.

[Tyrone Bigguns]

Leave school to avoid injury. Get injured training for NFL.

Definition of irony.

Stud or not, wasn't going in the top 10.

Actually the fact he blew out his knee in workouts is evidence that he was fragile and not physical enough to play corner in the NFL. Furthermore, he obviously played without motivation at UW, otherwise he would have blown out his knee earlier, which makes me question his work ethic. I can only conclude that he is not a stud but rather a lazy, physically flawed bust.

[Partial]

Yeah, because our own extremely physical corner has never had any injury issues. And anyone who has not blown out a knee in college but did in the pros played without motivation.

OK Merlin.

He didn't blow his knee out in pros. He blew it out trying to make another dollar. The evidence is on my side and overwhelming.

Comparing Ike and Harris is dumber than predicting Ike as a Top 10 prospect. Or comparing Tyler Donovan to Tom Brady. Maybe Luke Swan can be the next Jerry Rice. His knee hurts too.

I'm not Merlin, BTW. To the left, you will note that I am clearly labeled as SkinBasket.

Yes because I am sure that has NEVER EVER happened before!!!!!!!

I honestly can't name too many players who have sustained injury from when they declared up to before the draft. The most recent one sticking out in my mind is Lendale White. He is doing just fine down in Tenn. though.

And if you knew anything about your team you'd know I was referencing defensive player of the year candidate Charles Woodson. He has been injury prone throughout his career including knee problems and broken legs.

That was a Merlin-esque statement to make.

What's never happened? Are you on uppers?

And what was Lendale White's injury again? I'm pretty sure it wasn't a torn MCL, ACL, and knee cap damage. In fact, his injury was laziness and being fat, so maybe they can be compared on some level.

Honestly, most of the time I don't think you know what you're talking about, much less whether or not I understand what you may or may not be trying to say. So you were talking about our own "extremely physical" Charles Woodson then? Well, that's an even dumber comparison to draw. Congratulations on correcting me.

That was a Merlin-esque statement to make.

And you've made all kinds of Partial-esque statements. What makes it worth noting?

Ike was a ready made bust. Lazy, fragile, unmotivated, and completely unable to grasp the defensive scheme. Now he's a has-been. I expect to see him on South Park hawking crank in 9 months because he doesn't have the work ethic to rehab his knee.
