I believe it depends on the state you live in, but I think the consensus is 18-21 years of age. That said, Brimah came to the USA at the age of 16, so he's essentially been here less than 4 years. If he has a solid relationship with his guardian, he most likely trusts their opinion. And they in turn, most often are concerned with his welfare. There are possibly "shady" guardians around, but I'm guessing most are genuinely concerned about the kids they take in. And I'm certain the UConn coaching/medical staff have a pull in it too. I think lots of people are looking out for Brimah. It's a good situation to be in.
He's not dying, you know.
I know but he needed this summer to get better
Not questioning necessarily, just wondering why a 20 year old man would have "legal guardian" I'm guessing it was his legal guardian who, know that he is an adult, is actually a trusted advisor and not an actual guardian.
That's a good question. They'll probably proceed with caution with any type of lifting at first. However, once the summer gets going, I don't see why he wouldn't be able to do leg/core work. He'll have to negate a few things that will put strain on his shoulders at first: squats, barbell or dumbbell lunges... As time goes on towards the end of the summer it might come down to how he feels. I've had minor shoulder surgery before and was supposed to be out of the gym for 3 months. I got back in in a month and a half... Although I'm also not a D1 athlete, future NBA lottery pick
Squats, lunges and bends with heavy chains and/or weight jacket. That'll at least get some weight on him.
