And then you get into him maybe pushing his foot too hard in an attempt to get into game shape.
It's just NOT worth it, as you said.

And the thought of him, Diebler, Lauderdale all being seniors when the 2010 class comes in to go along with Offut, Madsen, kecman, and Z sounds like a damn good team in 2010...

I thought the writing was on the wall for Lighty weeks ago. I'm surprised a return is even being considered but it appears that is the case.
I'd rather pursue the redshirt and maybe have David for two more years. The leadership and experience he could provide would really help us. What little he could do this season isn't worth forfeiting that chance.
Let's just kick Iowa's ass tonight and lay any return this season thoughts to rest.

Kevin Warren is an ass
David is done for the rest of the season. End of story.

Ohio State 60, Iowa 58: Turner sparks crucial win
Off-topic, last week when I was in the hospital I was assigned a student nurse for a couple hours. I told the first-year student that I had been an orthopedic surgeon before my injury and then forgot that I had told her that before she left almost 2 hours later. The next day another student nurse came into my room and said that he heard that I was a physician. I said "who said that?". He said his instructor had told him that. I told them I had not been not to let anyone else know so that my first student's pride would not be hurt.
The point of this is that any time that we have a questionable sports injury I do not know if you should refer to my judgment or not.

Lighty has been working out and he is moving pretty well, but there is no reason to risk it and there is reason for him to come back for 2010...

Here's hoping that David has no lingering effects from the injury and comes back with some serious fire next season!

Men's Basketball: Lighty, Kecman on the road to recovery
Zack Meisel
Issue date: 5/19/09
Not everyone got to enjoy the Ohio State men's basketball team as they charged into the NCAA tournament in March. Forwards David Lighty and Nikola Kecman both suffered season-ending injuries, planting them on the bench and leaving the rest of the team to fend for their lives against Siena.
CHRISTIAN LAUTENSCHLEGER/THE LANTERN
Ohio State junior forward David Lighty jumps up for a layup during the Nov. 13, 2008 exhibition game against Walsh. OSU won 90-63. Lighty broke a bone in his left foot on Dec. 17 against Jacksonville.
Lighty fractured a bone in his left foot after his career-high 21 points in a Dec. 17 victory over Jacksonville. Despite going down during OSU's blazing start, Lighty felt fortunate it happened when it did.
"That probably was the best time for me to get hurt if I was to get hurt," he said. "If it was later on in the season, it would've had me down a lot more."
Since he played in only seven games, Lighty was granted a redshirt, saving him a year of eligibility and leaving him with two more seasons in scarlet and gray. His foot inched toward full recovery near season's end, but Lighty didn't want to take the risk of playing and forfeit the redshirt.
"I was getting there, but I wasn't fully 100 percent yet," he said. "I practiced a little bit, doing some things with the team, and sometimes I'd have to sit out because of my foot. I wasn't cleared to play yet, so I wasn't healthy yet."
The redshirt will allow Lighty to play an extra season with what is now a more experienced and battle-tested team after reaching the field of 65.
"I always try to look at the brighter side of things in every situation," Lighty said. "This gives me time to keep working on my game and get better and also to be around my teammates."
