re: Khalil Garland still not cleared to play

With Garland and Cook suspended indefinitely, the Hogs are now down 2 players. The staff is still optimistic about Garland getting cleared medically, but word is going around that they still recruiting for 3 more spots and not two. So, we will see. Garland's condition is that he has a heart murmur and it runs in the family. Let's hope he can get cleared soon and be able to suit up. The kid has been working his arse off and deserves it.

Better to be absolutely sure he is fine. I'm reminded of Maggie Dixon, the women's coach at Army, a few years back that was young and really on the cusp of great things... and died in her friend's living room after a massive heart attack.

I hope he plays and he's good to go. But I'd rather bench him for a season to be on the safe side.
