Evans torn ACL
- Thread starter Holycrossover3
- Start date
Really terrible news for Evans. He had a great season cut short. His pass catching was elite for his position, and he’s a damn good blocker. We will miss him, and we need Staes step up big time, which I think he is capable of doing as a receiver. Now would be a great time for Raridon to shine with full recovery from his torn ACL.
Evans had been a “dude” all season. Tough kid, and really came into his own.
Pulling for him to dominate rehab and come back stronger in 24. Should we plan on having him vs A&M?

I sure wouldn’t count on it. Recovery is very individualized, both physical and mental. They’ve made incredible advances in the surgical repair and rehab routines for a torn ACL, and some players are game ready in nine months, and others take over a year. Don’t want a second tear, so being 100% is most important.
10 months allows Evans a really good shot to be 100%. Modern medicine and his age will certainly help.
As long as it's just the ACL. I'd say he's back by August. Rising tore everything in his knee in the Rose Bowl. Hence why he's not back this year. That was January 1st. 9 months. Evans is Nov 1 surgery probably. So 9 months puts him at July. 10 puts him at Labor day weekend. I do not think it was a complete tear. Because he was able to put weight on it.
I believe the score was 37-0 at the time of his injury. It was in the third quarter and the last drive with all the starters in.
For what it's worth, in the past, many on this board have complained that ND didn't keep its foot on the gas long enough. Now it sounds like you are saying he should have been on the bench at that point in the game. ND's coaching staff can't win for losing.
Nah. You throttle for 3 quarters. It's an unfortunate deal. But ND coaches were not in the wrong for keeping him in. Now if it was well into the fourth then I'd say it's on them.
That's pretty much how I feel. It was the last series before they started to substitute freely.
That's fine, but I don't understand why Estime was still playing in the 4th. He scored the TD to go up 51-0. I thought it was a little odd he was still playing there.
Not to mention how many people here crapped on Mayer for sitting out a meaningless bowl game.
I can assure you ND's coaching staff could not possibly care less about what the psychotics on boards like this think. People here have serious, legitimate mental issues that they put on display daily. There's absolutely zero reason to take this place seriously. Total nut house.
All I can think of is stat padding for potential awards. Something we used to gripe about with BK but don’t love it.
Some say you need to get the team used to all 4 quarters. Although we have had plenty of ail biters already.
If he graduates in January or May he should look to move on.
There just isn't any room.
How do you think the TE room looks next season?
Evans would potentially be a pre season AA, but now an obvious question mark.
Staes will continue to ascend.
Raridon- not sure. We just don’t know yet, with his injury history.
Flanagan should develop and get significant time next year.
A lot of talented bodies, but some real uncertainty too.
I think it will be elite. If Evans only has an acl.
Evans - elite TE, would be one of the best in the country
Staes - already good but another year he could be elite
Raridon - maybe the most talented TE on roster. A full year post injury
Flanagan - very good blocker already, will continue to improve with reps
Its Notre Dame. TE U. I dont expect any drop off next year. I expect it to be better than this year. All guys with another year of development
