If he had a vertical fracture he would be out for 3-4 months, if he got lucky and had a horizontal fracture the docs may have been able to screw it together and he would have a shot at the F4. Still would be iffy though. If is was vertical there would be no reason why the school wouldn't just say he's done. The whole arguement that they want to keep this close to the chest regarding the planning of the opponents doesn't make sense. Doesn't sound like anyone thinks he's coming back anyway. Even if he were to get cleared by the F4 he would be so out of shape it may not make sense to play him in big role.
