Several members of UT's 2012 signing class already have suffered injuries that could impact their availability this year, and two more now have been lost for the season.

Actually, Ryan and meniscus tear and an ACL are very similar injuries in that the same motion/stresses can lead to either injury.
Maybe the Vols aren't way ahead in these type of injuries and it just feels that way, but it always makes me leery.

I personlly think something I heard on TSR today makes sense. These guys are getting bigger and sometimes the additional stress is just too much on the knees when you consider how physical football is whether or not the injury was a result of contact. Just look at the video of Hunter last year. Just a freak tear, very unfortunate, but not something you can prevent from happening short of rolling around in a wheelchair 24/7. I have a bad knee from partially tearing the patella tendon loose from my shin in 8th grade. Calcium built up there that is very tender to this day.
