Terrible news. Glad to have him yesterday and every other game he played in. Get healthy for the draft dude.

 

[SuperBarrFrog]

Damn. Crazy he played yesterday. What a dude.

appreciate everything lucas has done for the program, a good game to go out on, and i understand the business end of his decision to have the surgery in time to prep for the draft.

 

[JugbandFrog]

We’re screwed!!

Tough news for the Horned Frogs. Niang has been battling this injury since the spring. He was advised to not play on Saturday but was adamant about finishing his senior season the right way and not letting his teammates down.

 

[ShreveFrog]

Thank you, Lucas, for all your great work, especially finishing strong with a great win yesterday. Good luck!

What does this mean for the Frogs now? McKinney slides over? Myers? We see Coker? Has Coker been playing? (I should pay more attention to our o-line)

 

[ECoastFrog]

Thanks, Lucas, for everything. You are a great Frog. Best wishes on your surgery.

Niang has showed what’s it’s like to be a leader for the kids coming up. I completely agree with his decision and so glad he was able to end on a high note. Made a couple huge blocks yesterday and was still dominant even with this injury.

That will hurt our offense a lot.

 

[PO Frog]

Pretty cruddy injury to have. Have had a torn hip labrum for about 4 years now. Surgery not very effective in a lot of cases.

 

[Big Frog II]

Major bummer.

That will hurt our offense a lot.

I want to preface by saying that Niang is a tremendous player, probably a first round lock, and has proven his worth on the field and in the locker room.

THAT SAID his performance in the past few games has not been very good, most likely as a result of this injury. While his experience and presence will be missed, I do not think there will be a sharp drop off. I believe Myers is next in at RT and he is a more than adequate tackle.

That is a big loss for the rest of the season. So far we had been doing pretty good at avoiding the serious injuries like last year. On the bright side, at least, we got Wilson back on defense.

Lucas was a warrior. You could tell he was at 50% KSU and UT..Moving slow..Meyers will probably slide in to the line up..

 

[West Coast Johnny]

He's a great frog.

Agree. Healthy Niang is impossible to replace. The current version of Niang won’t be too hard to replicate.

 

[Ron Swanson]

Thanks, Niang

Hopefully the UT win was worth the decision to play this year for you!

 

[BigPurple87]

Maniac already knew this weeks ago but he couldn't tell us. Sucks sooo bad.

 

[Jefffrog1993]

Any chance he gets medical redshirt and comes back next year?
