I want to know what GS really said to BK, I bet there is serious motivation in there somewhere.

Didn't Ben's Mom already disclose what Gable told him? I thought it was already put out there.
Would love to know the diagnosis. Something that can be repaired with a scope, but may need 8 months recovery?? They usually try to get old folks with a full hip replacement up and walking some the first week. Maybe 6-8 months means able to do heavy lower body lifts and explosive movements need in wrestling and football ?
Prayers for a speedy and full recovery kid.Ben Kueter's two sport dreams at Iowa will be further delayed. Hip surgery will prevent Kueter from competing for Iowa football this fall.

8 months off, working legs sounds difficult with a bad hip. Gonna come back with a gorilla sized chest and pythons for arms.
I am thinking 8 months means all activities, full go, but that’s a novice interpretation on my part.
it also said 4-8 months which is a quite a difference
what he really needs in his diet are ... Pierogis ...scrapple.... Middleswarth Potato Chips and some good Cheesesteak HOAGIES and some POP....lots of POP.... may not be the best for nutritional reasons but really adds the LBS to the human body
I'm guessing hip labrum tear. Time line matches and he should be 100% by October or sooner.
He'll be able to start heavy lifting in 2-3 months tops if so.

Lol, I remember the first time I tried some scrapple, on a work trip in VA... interesting stuff.
i love scrapple and it is definitely not the taste that deters most new tasters... It is the texture I guess??? I love it but its better eaten and enjoyed rather than listing the ingredients... which are EVERY part of the pig except the squeal . I've seen on TV where they serve it in some places with Jelly and or mustard on it sandwich style. We eat it fried and then covered in maple syrup and alongside fried eggs and home fries.
Yep, had it as a side with breakfast, fried, at a little diner. Wasn't too bad. Look and texture was kind of like a frozen hash brown patty and a slice of Spam got together.
This and potentially femoroacetabular impingement. That is common with lack of hip mobility and many times the cause of a labrum tear.
Labrum and impingement does seem like a possibility.
Assuming he has the surgeon through UIHC Sports Med that I think he does, he is in good hands. I had a torn labrum caused by pincer impingement fixed by him a couple years ago when I was 45. The pain after the procedure was never horrible. The hardest thing was being zero weight bearing for multiple weeks (three if I remember correctly). I was feeling pretty good at 6 weeks and was probably to 95% by 3.5 months. I was never going for sports performance though and didn't really push myself in PT. My guess is that the hardest part for Ben will be the fact that he won't be able to get in full lower body work in the offseason.
Side note that I think I met with my surgeon 4 times between pre and post op. I think he was wearing HWC gear three of the four times.
Don't know what the injury is, but it could be that a mere mortal needs eight months to recover but an elite athlete like Ben can get back to 90% of his old self within four months. That's my hope.
they're really not uncommon in most people. most people generally have a labral tear without knowing it - it just depends on the degree of the tear for how severe it is and how much it impacts you individually
I was 42 (12 yrs ago) when I had it done (labrum and impingement removal). My surgeon was one of only two surgeons in the entire Kansas City metropolitan area that did it orthoscopic. He was one of the Kansas City Chiefs team physicians and is now the head physician for the Cleveland Browns. The plan was to get at least eight years before a replacement. Sitting at 12 and counting.
Had the same thing about 15 months ago. Felt great at 4 months, better at 8, and barely thought about it at 12. UI sports med orthos do great work.
