Fantastic!

Here's to safe and quick recovery for Juan! We need him!

keep the prayers coming guys... we need this

Heck yeah, Juan is one of the best and most proven players on the team! I hope he still is careful, especially from now until the end of July. His positive thinking must surely play a part. Sounds like he could possibly get some snaps against Oklahoma to test it in a game and then really come back fully two weeks later against Stanford. Or, get a some snaps against Stanford in the 2nd half when we're blowing them out before playing a lot @ Arizona.

All in all, excellent news. The more he is around the team and even participating, the better!

Great update Bob!!! Get well soon Juan!!! 509 represent. We can only hope Mr. Savannah is having the same "speedy" recovery on him Arm caused by the Temporary "Brain" lapse! The question that E.J. never thought about before acting out the movie "Over the Top" !! "Should I be Arm Wrestling so competitively that I could put my Football Career in Jeopardy?" Note to E.J. - stop being meat head & help this Defense beat Oregon!

more bob haircut coverage please.

That was a good read - thanks Bob! Let's hope the docs are as optimistic. To see Juan on the field by mid-year would be fantastic. This line is going to be tough.

What a stud and what great work ethic.

Don't push it too fast Juan! Stay off the field until you are given an okay by the Dr's. Don't want to end up like Tiger.

Also, Bob, did you see EJ around the practice facilities today? If so, any idea on how he is doing?

Bob I'm begging you for some information on the development of Garcia's backup! How's he coming along???

One thing is certain: Nobody's going to ever say Juan quit on anything. But he has to be patient and that may be the toughest part of his recovery. It's pretty clear his foot has not yet been tested, and shouldn't be for a while since this is a slow-healling injury involving a lot of moving parts. I know he hates this idea, but a 7th year might not be out of the question, especially if it is the ticket to the NFL. Troy Must Be Destroyed (ducks destroyed)

Hell yea, that's great news. Not just for our team, but for an individual who is hoping to move on to the next level. I sincerely hope he makes it to the draft, especially after staying for his 6th season out of pride for the program.

Great news for Juan and the Husky football program. We are all rooting for you big guy!

JimMorarulz!, Matt Sedillo is officially the back-up at center and is a RS-Soph now. However, I think Denbrock will want to move RS-Soph Ryan Tolar over from LG to Center and insert RS-Sr OG Jordan White-Frisbee at LG. JWF has recently received high marks for his play and the coaches want to get the best 5 OLmen on the field.

Yes, Juan no one can ever say that were a quitter. Never once did you quit, even before you were hurt, so yes, we will all keep saying our prayers. Not just so you can play football, but so you can have a future!

Thanks for the update Bob, I was wondering isn't he still able to use a bike or other forms of exercise to keep his stamina and conditioning up?

Great!!!

This is so awesome. What an inspiration. My prayers are still going out to you Juan! How fantastic would it be to see him playing most of the season? Let's send him off with a bowl win!

Juan is the very definition of what UW football is all about. If everyone on our team had as much heart as he does then I guarantee you that we'd have already been back to a bowl game. Good for him.

This is great news for Juan and the team!

Bob, what's the status on Savannah? He's the next big question.

What's this, GOOD NEWS coming out of Montlake????

On Savannah --- There won't really be any new news on him. His arm is in a cast and it takes 2-3 months to heal. When it can get out of the cast, they'll take it off and see where he is. It is still anticipated that he will be back mid-to-late August at the earliest. I can't imagine it could really happen any earlier since it's a break and those usually need the expected time to heal.

On Garcia's stamina --- I'm sure he rides a stationary bike all the time but it's just not the same as doing football-related activities, like all the shuttle drills that the team does during its regular drills every day. I didn't see E.J. but I wouldn't read anything that --- I was told he can't go through the regular workout stuff due to his cast. As I wrote in the comment above, I don't expect much big change in his status. it's a break and needs the requisite time to heal. He's expected back mid-to-late August. It's not a break he can play with.

Garcia's replacement is likely to be Matt Sedillo. But if Garcia is out long term, the team would also consider moving over Ryan Tolar and starting Jordan White-Frisbee at guard.

Got to love Juan's fortitude and example. That is the attitude that is needed in all facits of life. I've been in that "over 50" group for a few years now but I still hold a statement that my mom made to us kids many years ago - "please - don't tell me how much you love me - show me". I grew up doing instead of talking and I'm particularly proud to hear Jaun is living and showing the same.

What a beast.

With everything he has gone through and sacrificed for the program, Juan has to be near the top of anyone's Favorite Huskies list.

If Juan Garcia never plays another game he's already a GREAT HUSKY!!! But Juan will play and lead us to a winning season. Just don't rush anything.
