    MSU basketball recruit Roe to have knee surgery

    Dave Dye / The Detroit News

    EAST LANSING -- Michigan State basketball recruit Delvon Roe, a senior in high school, is expected to undergo surgery on his right knee within a week, MSU coach Tom Izzo said Wednesday.

    Roe will miss at least five weeks and possibly as much as five or six months depending on the amount of damage. A MRI revealed a torn meniscus, but there is also concern that there could be a chipped bone, Izzo said.

    "It's nothing career-threatening," said Izzo.

    Roe, a 6-foot-8 forward from Lakewood, Ohio, is ranked as a consensus top-10 player nationally. He turned down an offer from North Carolina and signed with Michigan State last month.

    Not really a big deal, IMO. Missing 6 months at this point is fine. His development won't take a big hit because he's already more college-ready than most incoming freshmen, and missing 6 months means he'll still be fully rehabbed before he would ever step foot on campus. The time he'll spend in the gym will be lifting and adding more upper body strength, which is really scary actually.
    The only thing that could be bad about this is the possibility of it being a recurring problem. Look at what knee injuries did for McDyess. It took several years out of the middle of his career and he never fully got back to the dominance he once had. Surgical techniques have come a long way in the past 10 years, so that's not as big a risk anymore.
    We had subs. It was crazy.

    MSU freshman Roe needs more knee surgery

    EAST LANSING -- Michigan State basketball incoming freshman Delvon Roe, who is near full recovery from right knee surgery, now needs left knee surgery, MSU associate sports information director Matt Larson confirmed today.

    The severity of Roe's injury and the timetable for his return are not yet known, but coach Tom Izzo is expected to make a statement later today. Roe, a 6-foot-7 forward from Lakewood, Ohio, is one of the top prospects nationally for the class of 2008.

    Roe missed most of his senior season at Lakewood St. Edward High after microfracture surgery on his right knee in December. Izzo has said he expects Roe to challenge for a starting spot on the 2008-09 team

    That's not good. Perhaps he injured it over-compensating? If so, not only does that suck pretty bad already, but with him being "near full recovery" on the other knee, is there any way he can fully condition that knee without over compensating on it?
    For the kid's sake, and the sake of State fans hoping he can come in and have a monster impact, I hope the kid gets to have a decent career when all this is over. There are never any guarantees though. Remember, UM signed Jerrod Ward as the #1 player in the country. He had a pretty unspectacular career, and if I remember correctly a knee injury or two had a lot to do with it.
