[NU Sports] Persa's Status?

[Eric C West]

This isn't really news that's just "coming out" now. Every mention I've seen of Persa's status all spring and summer was that he isn't fully back to 100% playing shape, even if he may be healed from the surgery. The story all along has been about how hard he's working to get ready. Yes, combined with "PersaStrong" and lots of confident talk from Coach Fitz, etc., but nothing has really been hidden about his condition.

I don't like being cynical about NU, BUT It is interesting that this is now coming out just after the single game tickets went on sale on Monday.
Namely, there has been this big build up about Persa during the push for season ticket sales and then, after the hype (and the sales), Persa is reportedly limping around.
