The Richmond Times-Dispatch and The Roanoke Times are both reporting that another round of surgery on quarterback Al Clark's bad knee has been ruled out for the time being. He can begin intensifying his workouts in an effort to strengthen the leg, which has grown significantly weaker than his other, uninjured leg. Siegel is still unable to determine if Clark will ever completely heal. But if he continues to progress as well as he has lately, Siegel will continue to rule out additional surgery. You already know my feelings on the matter.
Talk is cheap.
I'll believe Al's healthy when I see it. Here's a link to Randy King's story in The Roanoke Times about Al's knee. Hicks, whom the Tech coaches are very high on, will attend Hargrave Military Academy next year and can now be recruited by other schools again. The other two recruits who may have to follow Hicks's lead to prep school are Central-Lunenburg's Anthony Davis and Anthony Nelson of Kingsport, Tennessee. I have heard various things from different sources about whether or not they're going to make it, but I don't have anything concrete to go on right now.
