Glad he found out now. Obviously would have been even better to have known in 10th grade or 11th grade or 12 grade but at least it's not right before the start of fall practices in his sophomore year. Sounds like he should be good by this fall and it was unlikely that he'd see a lot of playing time anyways. Still, has to suck to feel like you are starting this big adventure and before you can even get to trade licks with your new in-team competition you have to be sidelined.
Ouch! I hate that for him and us...thought he might start day 1. The good news though is he is in GREAT hands!
I believe I saw typical healing time is 8-12 weeks so not too bad as long as everything goes as planned.
He's should be in the 12th grade for a couple months unless he graduated early. [Article says he's been watching Bama practice. So either he's on spring break or graduated early.] He should be OK or nearly so by camp.

i didn't know where it even was before reading this, but a quick google shows that its pretty herd to diagnose and sometimes its not a 100 percent diagnosis until they go in with the scope
Glad he found out now, instead of during a season...and there ain't no better place to recuperate than Bama.
Yep, the shoulder has many structures and lots of stuff going on in there. My right one snaps, crackles, and pops due to tens of thousands of BP pitches. But I'm not a five star athlete.
I had one for a long time and thru 2 deployments of heavy lifting, wearing gear in combat situations and I didn't know anything but my shoulder ached. Of course it got worse I'm sure as once it was diagnosed for surgery I had severe tears in my SLAP and rotator cuff. He's young and has good surgeons, so he should recover ok. It's early but I expect that Mack will redshirt.
