Any updates on JQ return for tourney?
- Thread starter Kats meow
- Start date
He also came to cash checks bet he was good at that
People need to stop counting JQ as one of the injured players. He came here already injured. The staff knew it, and they knew it would be January before he might possibly return. Anyone count JQ as a starter or was counting on him making a difference after rehabbing a surgically repaired knee was in fantasy land, and it sure seems we have several who live there. So stop acting like we lost something we never had.
It wasn't a bust. JQ is fine. He just quit. Pope got owned.
Th,e argument at this point, and for quite some time really, isn't about whether he would make a difference. At all. It's about whether Pope has the balls to call JQ out and remove him from the roster for the stunt he's pulling.
For what/ he's 5 more fouls at best/ he's been a Total waste of money/ Agent & Dad ain't gonna let it happen/ could got 2 Good Players instead with go Total Risk & Damn sure No Reward!
This basketball idiot just looked up his career statistics and found eight rebounds per game
You’re an idiot. Do you even watch the games or do you just hate all things Pope?
I watched all of the games this year. I can also read and look up statistics, apparently unlike you. Your accusation of me hating all things pope is irrelevant and unsupported.
Not true. There probably is still some swelling, but that is a perfectly NORMAL thing for players who’ve had an ACL repair to deal with (I had my ACL surgery over 30 years ago and still have routine swelling after hard workouts). It’s not that big a deal. Most players just choose to play through it. JQ chose otherwise.
I guarantee you the “swelling” will magically stop being an issue for him next month when it’s time to work out for NBA scouts.
He made an honest effort to play. If not for the way Sharpe and Cal played us, this wouldn't be nearly as questioned. Sometimes kids aren't liars, sometimes they really did hurt themselves coming back after injury. We did Have him on the court in the exact time frame Pope had said all along. If this were Peterson or Boozer and one had missed part of the season and then actually played the half the season, you would be hailing their coach for being brilliant for bringing the player in. You act like Pope was good with paying him to sit the whole season the kid got hurt.
You don't know that. It's an excuse to blame Pope for something else
That’s my thoughts, I know swelling is normal but I’d think with the medical care he gets he could play after all this rest.
He averaged 5/game for us. Considering his size compared to at least 8 other guys in the floor that’s nothing to brag about. Hell Noah always manages 2-3 rebounds in his short stints of play. JQ may be an awesome individual off the court, but he quit on his team and that is undeniable.
Really? What 3 guys are injured on Houston, Arizona, Michigan, Florida, duke, Iowa State, UConn and St Johns?
Duke lost their starting pg and almost lost to Florida state. They still have the NPOY and an elite roster, but 1 guy out almost got them beat by a 15 loss team.
What you mean is, "people need to stop counting JQ as an injured player, because it hurts my agenda"
JQ was brought here to play. It was a bad move, but that was the plan, so no, we're not going to act like losing him for the season doesn't matter.
He and his dad playing UK like a violin but some will still use him as an injury excuse when it's obvious he's a quitter.
LMFAO UK is the most injured basketball program in the last 12/15 years of any program in the country and it’s NOT remotely close! That’s not an opinion, it’s a fact.
You are so very right. I'm 77 and bleed blue. I have never heard or don't remember any other team having this many injuries in like a 5 year period. Unreal.
Watched a KSR YouTube video a year or two ago. They had charted all our injuries over the past several years. They charted them by: starters, top rotational pieces and lower rotational pieces. It was incredible the difference between UK and the next most injured team. Like I said, not even close.
Straight from the horse's mouth.
