We are also hearing the coaching staff and scout staff say he will be competing for an IOL spot this year. 

Would you say it was on the minor or major side?

With what we know (which isn’t very specific) it was significant enough for them to recommend surgery. Of those that are significant enough for surgery, I would guess this is minor based upon the little we do know. Regardless of how minor it may or may not be, at this point his long term outcome is still to be determined. And of those who have this surgery there is no way of predicting who will fully recover and who won’t. So only time will tell.

And what we’re witnessing now is a pissing contest between a guy with the anecdotal personal evidence of 1 patient who is overly pessimistic (AtomicBlaze) versus a guy who is quoting neck surgery statistics that don’t apply to this case because he doesn’t have the first clue and is overly optimistic (OSUfan).
