It is his shin bone. He is done for the year and has an up hill battle. But if McGahee can make it then all things are possible.

It will be tough for UL without Bush, but they are a talented team and have a tremendous coach...UL will be fine.

Yeah, both of their backups are looking good in the 2nd half.

not as familiar with orthopedics but sometimes they can align it easy and cast it--i would rather come back from this than a ligament injury.
the leg did look to "crunch" kind of like theismann if it is a compound fx worst case would be to ream out the shaft of the tibia, insert a rod or do like an ex fix, which is like a halo for a spinal injury(those cage things) it would be screwed into the leg and his leg might come out lookin kinda deformed-i dont know if it would hamper performance in this case

Tibia is not your shin bone.. its one of the bones behind it.. cant remeber if its the large or smaller one. Nothing big as far as rehab from what i remember when i got both my Tibia and Fibia broken 15 years ago. 4-6 weeks in a regular cast nother 3-4 in a walking cast. No problems running afterward.
I'm surprised they released information about his injury.
I thought that was usually hush hush when it comes to a college player. And if the player chooses, he can block all releases of any medical information.
Not that they normally do, I just remember it's usually a few days before you know anything.
Maybe I've had too many

The tiba is your shin bone. Bad News is that it's the large bone that supports all your weight. The fibula is the small bone that is used for mostly muscle attachments. It was a shame to be in a blow out game. The good news is that this is better, in fact a lot better than him tearing up his knee. S. Smith broke his leg and the next year tore up the NFL. There is no rehab that really needs to be done. You just need the time to heal. This injury will affect where he will be taken in the draft, and someone will get a steal if he drops because of this.

My bad, I always get them mixed up was thinking the finia was the shin bone and not the tibia but oh well.

If anything, this is a blessing for fantasy football owners.
Now instead of going to a crappy team at the Top Half of Round One, he'll almost certainly fall to the second half to a legit playoff team, with a legit O-Line.
Better a bone than a knee too...

Soooo, medical redshirt, or come out in the draft?
I gotta think he takes the redshirt. Too much money on the line to not, right? (He wouldn't go anywhere near as high in the draft this season, than if he would have a good season in school next year and come out in '08, right?).

Enter the draft - see Willis McGahee.If he can do well at the combine he'll be just fine come draft day.

Not sure how it impacts him or what he'll decide. I saw him as a mid-round talent myself (others see him much higher). I think the size factor gets weighed far too heavily this day in age of RB's. I'm not a big fan of the tall, large RB's that are just huge targets to take direct blows each and every time and are more susceptible to the leg injuries. My preference is to take the 5'10-5'11 (in the breed of Cadillac Williams) with lots of wiggle over the big guys (in the breed of Stephen Jackson). It's much easier for the shorter RB's to get down and take the blow to the pads than it is for these taller backs to get down and more often than not are taking the blows to their knees/leg area. You don't see many of the over 6 foot RB's with great leg drive or great ability to change direction on a dime.
