Cam Rising

I ran into a former Ute QB on Saturday. He has remained close to the program. We were talking about the upcoming season and I said that I was concerned about Cam being ready to play by game 1. He quickly responded, Cam told him that he is fine and will be ready to play.
What does this mean? Not a lot except Cam feels confident about his rehab and his ability to play against Florida.
Just thought I would pass this along.
GoUtes!!!

Cam was at the women’s BB Saturday on crutches courtside. I wonder what the timetable is when getting off the crutches? I do know I like his attitude related to getting ready to go as soon as possible.

Rising is an aggressive competitor, and thus likely targeting an aggressive rehabilitation period.  That said, ACL tears take about 6-9 months of physical therapy before an athlete’s balance, strength, and endurance will be restored.  He had surgery in January, so at the very soonest, he could take the field in time for Fall camp. 

At the latest….midseason.

Utah opens the 2023 season at Home vs. Florida, then faces Baylor in Waco the following weekend.  Rising clearly wants to be ready for these games, so all his confidence about being ready by game 1 is most likely just him projecting a “positive/can-do” attitude, because he truly “wants” to be ready.  But “want” and “is” don’t always align, so at this early point in his rehab, just take it for it is — an aggressive, optimistic target date by a tough guy who doesn’t know how to quit.

I think we may see Kuithe in fall camp. 
Simple fact is Johnson excites me. We obviously will see plenty of him. His speed excites me and with the rushing game being a strength I think Utah can do well.

I really think we will know how it’s going post spring ball. If the bring in a transfer QB, Cam probably isn’t ready for Florida. 

If they don’t, they expect Cam to be ready to go.
