Abdullah

[Brasky]

This is pretty interesting. "Abdullah, who is Muslim, will observe Ramadan in August, when he fasts from food and water from dawn until sunset. Ramadan begins at sundown on July 31 and lasts through Aug. 29."

That's during 2 a days.

" I wake up at like 3:30 in the morning, eat around 3:45, make my prayers with my family and go back to sleep, then I’m going through the whole day from 3:30 to 8:45 at night with no food until I break my fast and get up and do it the next day.”

I couldn't imagine doing that... That's insanity.

I can see the food part, but not the water..

I don't think that's legal.

This could be why other schools didn't pursue him much.

Watching his film made me wonder why he wasn't given 4 or 5 stars by the recruiting services. A lot of those stars are awarded depending on which schools are offering.

I don't think that's legal.

He's obviously not going to be able to participate in 90 degree two-a-days.

Special treatment is what I wonder/worry about... Do they not work him as hard?? When they're running gassers after practice because of penalties or fumbles and he starts getting dizzy?

I'm sure he'll be fine. As 1217's link explains, an NFL safety does just fine.

That is quite the overreaction




also, I'd be very surprised if he does better than Heard/Green

The Hawkin's reference was to his link being high school. I can see someone getting away with it in high school. I can also see a safety getting away with it.

But a RB? This guy needs to maintain or even gain weight not lose it. Especially for the entire month prior to the opening game.

It's his religion. I would never ever question him doing it, I was just stating that I was worried about health problems for the kid.

I wonder if it's also against the rules to take an intravenous drip after a certain level of fluid loss.
