Cam Jurgens NOT injured again

[SUHperman]

Rumor that he broke the same foot again.

Get that boy some damn milk!

A poster over on RSS who claims to know the family said they think he has been putting on too much weight too fast.

Per Isms on Reddit:

This would now make four years in a row in which Cam has broken a bone in his lower extremities.

2019 - Broken Foot

2018 - Broken Foot

2017 - Broken Fibula

2016 - Broken Ankle

Also from another redditor:  "That dude is 50% muscle, 50% glass."

He was 250 as a Sr. in HS & 270 last year.

I’d say bad genetics or something fishy in his bone development, like it is not hardening like it should.

Really hope he doesn't turn into a guy that has a ton of talent that we never get to see bc he can't stay healthy

The information in these two posts would seem to contradict each other.

Cam might not fit into this category but I've seen many many times colleges trying to put on too much weight/mass and it usually damges the knees and feet.

How so? I don't know much about the physiology of putting on big muscle, but I could conceive that a kid could put on too much weight too fast and break bones in his lower extremities as a result.

Are you saying it's unlikely that he put on so much weight so fast if he's injured so often?  I could see that, too.

I don’t see it here with injuries accruing over the years.

Reminder, this hasn’t been confirmed yet by Frost. Maybe Tuesday.

I believe he’s saying since he’s broken a bone in the same area each of the last 4 years, it’s doubtful that this last injury is related to weight gain, unless he gained lots of weight every year for the past 4 years.

Also, if it’s true that he went from 250 to 270 from Sr year to last year, that doesn’t seem like an enormous jump. Dunno what he is now though, but even if it’s 310, the previous argument still stands.

I'm going to chalk it up as bad luck.

We have one of the best S&C departments in the country along with the best Sport Nutritionist in the country and we want to chalk it up to him getting to big, to fast.  I find that hard to believe.
