Those images from FSU are what I keep thinking of. That whole NCG all they talked about was how coaches had tried to talk him into it. Here we are 6 years and two teams later and that really speaks to some otherworldly stubbornness. But yet he did it finally so he isn’t hopeless.

There's a real danger in the procedure that's often overlooked. The odds are fairly small, but if it goes wrong his career is over.

A good friend had it a few years back and one eye is permanently damaged. The pupil does not open and close as it should and it left her vision far worse than it was previously. When that risk is over 50m dollars it makes you think.
