Dan Kottman?

North Texas Shep · April 14, 2014

Will he be here in the fall? Also, does he have to sit out next season? Was not sure since he was a walk on at SDSU and if he would have to sit out here.

He was a SDSU signee. He will walk on here

Bad news on Kottman.

San Diego State University did not release him from his scholarship. They kind of put him through the ringer with his injuries (long story) and he is still battling with it.

Because of extenuating circumstances he will not be with us in the fall and has chosen to give up football at this time.

Wow. That's extremely unfortunate.

Wow. That's terrible.

I hope he continues his education, and becomes part of the North Texas family.

Not normal as far as I know and understand.

Long story short...

Forced to go to schools surgeon (normal).

Did NOT fix ALL of the injury (bandaid job) in his shoulder and proceeded to rehab then back on the field, despite the fact that he wasn't "fixed".

Reinjured, of course. Players parents (also SDSU alumni) ended up funding the even more complicated surgery. (not normal and pretty spitty, IMO)

Tried to get the release and SDSU wouldn't release.

This sport is so incredibly hard on these kids bodies. When they don't get appropriate treatment, it risks an injury that could plague them way beyond their 20's. SAD. What a waste.

** Edit- I should clarify before the thread is derailed:

APPROPRIATE treatment- Opening up a 20 year olds arm and fixing ALL of the injury despite the rehab schedule being extended.

We should offer this guy a scholly, or at least some financial assistance and get him here anyway. It'll show the the CFB world what North Texas is about. Loyalty. Academics. Football.
