Ike is an outstanding character  young man. He is an asset to the program even if he can never play again.  His spirit is contagious and He is very involved with potential recruits . Glad he is at MU.

Maybe he'll turn out to be our Embiid. Sit out a few years only to light it up and play with a massive chip in his shoulder.

A guy can dream...

I have disc problems in my lower back and my doctor summed up disc surgery like this...About a 1/3 chance its better after surgery, a 1/3 chance it doesn't help and a 1/3 chance it makes it worse.  Not great odds.

I'll take a "chip on his shoulder" over a "chip in his back" any day.

Get well, Ike! Seems like a super kid.

Interesting phrases being thrown around.

If a doctor tells you otherwise, they are lying.

~35% of all back surgeries are successful in terms of perceived recovery.

Depending on the study, between 20-40% of surgeries result in failure, or increased pain, referred to clinically as "Failed back surgery syndrome".

When you've seen the crap that I have, that's no surprise. But when the correct diagnosis is made and the correct treatment is applied, that number goes way up.
