You may not believe Riley, but it sounds like an issue that's been on-going for a couple years. Bryant was limited in preseason camp, and sounds like his knee swells up after extensive activity. They are hoping the surgery done in October is able to relieve the knee pain issue. Quote Link to comment

Ok, good to know that Riley is more than one person You don't think Riley is relaying information from what his training staff are saying? You are nit picking about comments in here, and it sounds like you aren't going to be happy with anyone's comments except ones that agree with you. 3 Quote Link to comment
Enhance Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 The concern with Wilbon is he's not a game changing playmaker, in my opinion. He's been here several years now and he's yet to really excel in the rushing game. Quote Link to comment

Obviously we've had some major coaching issues over the years and that could possibly be something that hindered him. No excuses for him now though. I've heard that Bryant's knees are terrible and are knees of a 60 year old or something along those lines. Great player, hopefully we see him come back healthy after that surgery, but I seriously doubt it. 2 Quote Link to comment

He's been here several years now and he's yet to really excel in the rushing game. I think he has been demoralized by the offense he's been in. I had a lot of hope for Wilbon until this year. His refusal to block makes it obvious that he is soft and will never be a good back. Quote Link to comment

Caliborn72 Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 I think and hope that it’s entirely possible that Bryant will be back. I’m looking forward to it. I also think it’s imperative that the staff treat his return as an uncertainty, and that they look to bring in a prep RB and a juco RB. After ‘18, we lose Ozigbo and Wilbon, and while I love Bradley’s potential, if Bryant isn’t able to get back on the field, then that RB position is bleak even with a beast prep RB in this class. If the staff pursues and accepts a commitment from a juco RB, then I think it will say a lot about Bryant’s status going forward. Would love to have him back, but I’d also understand if medically retiring from football might be the best thing for him. Quote Link to comment
ScottyIce Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 He did have a surgery, that hopefully cleared up some things. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 If healthy, I really think he will do some things. I'm not sure he'll be able to stay healthy but I really hope he does. Quote Link to comment

Bryant may try to play again, but it is highly unlikely that he can remain on the field. Someone on the medical staff said he had the knees of a 35 year old and they swell constantly.

Which would hinder him playing RB! What is not to understand? Here is Riley talking about his old knees. Quote Link to comment
husker98 Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Hopefully this staff manages him better than the last group. There was no reason to run him as hard as they did, especially against Ark state with as many other backs as we had. Quote Link to comment
