Title: Did Anyone Know Andrew Steele Was Injured?

This caught me totally by surprise, eventhough I was wondering why Hillman started tonight.

I hate to hear that.  4 concussions in the last few years is not good.

I didn't know he was injured. I sure am sorry to hear it. RTR!

I've never heard of a BB player with 4 concussions and he's only about 21 years old. Wow!

My first concern, of course, is in making sure Andrew is able to recover without any permanent damage. My second concern is that this fourth concussion could have an effect on the rest of his career. I don't remember how many Troy Aikman had, but they were the reason he finally had to hang it up. I hope this doesn't happen to Andrew, not just because he plays for Bama, but I just would hate to see a young man's career cut short by something like this so early on.

The first well-known player to retire due to concussions was Roger Staubach, QB for the Cowboys. I think he had seven.

I did not know this.  Wow, 4, the young man needs to hangup his hightops and focus on his degree and career outside roundball.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. I think if he has one more, he will be gone. He's just too young to have so many, plus he is showing some severe symptoms.
