He was their starting point guard.

Well we caught a break I guess somewhat. Should make it a little easier.... but you never know early in the season.

Can't hurt the chances...
The committee won't care whether he was playing or not just whether they were ranked or not when we beat them..


If you took Kansas at five and a half... I don't like your chances

Well if we lose it’ll be because Pope sucks and if we win it’ll be because they had an injury. Can’t wait to hear the local Hilljack’s spinning it.😂😂😂

The return time may depend upon which bones were broken. I broke 3 metatarsal bones, 2,3 and 4 last December. Surgery was not recommended as there are many issues with pinning small bones. According to the orthopedic surgeon, foot bone repair often does not end well. I was glad for the advice, but it took a good 4 months before the pain in the foot resolved. Back to normal now.

They got a very capable backup PG it looks like. He shot 40% from three, averaged 16 ppg, etc last season for Toledo and he's shooting better and scoring more than Council so far this season. I think he's a 19 year old Sophomore, so, they still do lose a lot of experience with Council being 24 years old and all.

I can’t believe someone from another team got hurt, I thought Kentucky was the only team that had that happen. Na really some teams are lucky throughout the season and don’t have that happen to them, but Kentucky has had some real bad luck, it’s tough to deal with.

They start Taylin Kinney from Kentucky too. Kinney is second in minutes on the team. I imagine Stokes or White will drop down to "SG" and they just rotate Blyden and Kinney at PG. They are calling both Stokes and Tre White guards, even thought they aren't really. White really improved his 3pt shot last season.

Tre White played at Louisville during the Kenny Payne era, playing a small-ball 4 there. He also spent time playing at USC, Illinois, and Kansas. Kansas is his first time playing a second year at the school. (3 high schools as well for him)

This should help us reach our goal of 40-0. Not sure KU has a chance and Pope will coach circles around Coach Toupee. Cats by at least 20.
