Deontae Cooper will miss season once again

PrintDeontae Cooper has re-injured his knee and will miss the 2011 season.Tough break for Cooper who will have to sit out two consecutive seasons. He most likely will be eligible to be granted a sixth season by the NCAA if he is able to fully recover. Johri Fogerson, Bishop Sankey and Kyle Lewis will compete for the playing time that Cooper will miss.
Zach Fogerson is being forced to retire because he has not recovered from a concussion that he suffered during spring ball. Fogerson had a lot of potential but he wasn't able to really bring it on outside of practice because of the injury.
Desden Petty will be counted on to provide some immediate quality minutes but I think the real guy to watch will be Johri Fogerson. Walk on Jonathan Amosa is alos poised to provide quality reps at the position.
DT Chris Robinson will retire due to chronic knee issues. Look for Danny Shelton to get immediate playing time to help fill that void. Robinson is a big loss because the coaches really liked how he had progressed until his knee was reinjured.
Semisi Tokolahi will be able to play this fall according to head coach Steve Sarkisian. The plan is to bring him along slowly in a similar fashion to how they brought along Everette Thompson last season. The goal is to have him ready to provide some serious minutes by the time that conference play starts.
CB Adam Long who tore an ACL this past winter isn't expected to play this fall. Everyone else who was out this past spring not mentioned is due to return at 100% for fall drills.

AARGH
hope Cooper recovers and it doesn’t end up a career ender
There's hope
I can remember a few guys who I thought would never see the field as a Husky and they finally did and made an impact.

Well, that just sucks . . .
Cooper has SOOOOO much potential. I really hope this isn’t a career ending injury. It really sucks seeing these young kids forced to hang them up do to injuries.

Two injuries...same knee
I have seen two players come back from that….RB Aaron Jenkins and WR Patrick Reddick.

"come back" is relative
Both players did indeed play again, but neither one was the same (though they were both productive).
What’s really a bummer is that Cooper was most known for his home-run speed, and I seriously doubt that he’ll retain that level of speed.
I have a quick question for you guys. Do you any of you post on Dawgman?
I dropped in to see how to rabble was doing and the first 13 threads are all about Oregon. John does a good job of keeping things moving as that place has turned into a complete circus and I am glad that mentality hasn’t infiltrated the this blog
this is a more moderate forum and an alternative to Dawgman.
I don’t ever go over there.
Damn, my eyeball tastes good.
@chrislandon
I do
I don’t post there nearly as much as used to – the Ty years drove that community pretty crazy. Still, if you know which posters are valuable, you can pick and choose which threads to read and which ones to avoid. Still the best insider info around on their premium boards…
Which are the even keeled ones?
Chipocrit and predoubt routinely send out obscene and threatening PM’s to any duck fan that posts there. It’s gotten to the point that the possibility of law enforcement involvement is being discussed.
Actually, the same thing has happened here, not where threads are concerned, but in the way the interest level is only highest when Oregon threads are posted.

There is a difference between being interested in a big story (which the Lyles situation is) and being completely consumed with your rival
Also Duck fans like myself tend to show up and keep the discussion going.
Thank PPilot
I moderate at Dawgman and post on occasion. The obsession with Oregon has been out of control for quite some time. We try to keep it moving and discuss a lot of different things. I like the fact that a Duck, Beaver, or Coug can visit here and participate in an adult like discussion. That was always one of the goals.
Like Kirk says the Ty years really drove that community crazy and it also drove some pretty good posters away which is a shame. I think Dawgman has incredible info and they do a tremendous job.

No hurry we don't need him until...
…we get into conference play.
Semisi Tokolahi will be able to play. this fall according to head coach Steve Sarkisian. The plan is to bring him along slowly in a similar fashion to how they brought along Everette Thompson last season. The goal is to have him ready to provide some serious minutes by the time that conference play starts.

Tokolahi
He still is dealing with nerve damage which means that he has a long and unlikely road toward getting back to 100% this season or frankly ever again. I am keeping my fingers crossed regarding his participation this season.

Do We Know...
if the injuries happened inside the. Dempsey Center or outside on grass or turf ??? Hardened Turf takes a heavy toll on knees and ankles.

I believe it's strictly field turf now...
…that stuff is really soft but I’m sure grass is better in some ways.
