Horrible few days for me. Had an assload of cakes stole out my building now this news. What could be worse??
Matt Jones confirmed
- Thread starter Calsthebomb
- Start date
He has a scholarship for life so it makes zero sense to stay and continue to get hurt
Would think that if any suspicion of serious injury, he would have had to go to hospital for tests.
Right. All the tourney games were going to be played in the O Dome.
On the road on Senior Night with Vanderbilt in foul trouble. Not the best way to prove your point.
I think anyone who watched the Arkansas game, for instance, knew this team could at least make some noise if healthy.
So, I’m assuming the person who saw him wearing a splint also saw him laughing and eating a slice of pizza?
Unless no one will draft him because of injury concerns. Or he looks like a 2nd round pick at best.
Then being on campus at UK working on his degree might make a lot more sense.
I agree that if he has a 1st round guarantee he should go. Will he?
Gotta assume he's done for the year at this point. If he is, there's no reason or need for UK to announce it right now. Sit on it til after the Selection Show.
I have seen people saying that no one has confirmed it is a foot injury. All I am saying is that on KSR someone called in and said that they saw his Instagram story and he was wearing a splint on his fingers. Hopefully it is just a finger or hand injury and he can play through that.
Except we have some good wins this season... oh and we could still advance in the sec tourney which we lost the first game of in the nit season. But minus vando that hurts us so bad
I understand the concern with Vanderbilt's injury history, but I don't see any reason to automatically assume it's a foot injury and Vanderbilt is done for the year. It could be something very minor that doesn't affect his playing time at all. MJ is wrong about as often as he is right. Until more info becomes available, I will assume it's a minor injury and he is truly day-to-day.
If Vanderbilt is injured where does he go? No one will draft him. He would likely elect for surgery and be forced to play another year of college ball. Unless he goes to Europe no one is going to draft him with guaranteed money
WOW!!
Why say this with "zero inside information"?!!!!!!!
If that does indeed happen then this would be one of the most disappointing player careers I've seen at UK. He can't help his body is injury prone but with the hints of talent he has shown if would be amazing to see him at his best for a year here.
This Walker guy is really good....at generating social media hits that is. Worthless.
Because history and common sense.
Because he clearly stated in the post it's an opinion. The responsibility is on you to read that and understand it.
g-league will probably take him. It isn't much but he should earn SOMETHING off basketball before his foot goes for good. It's sad but it is what it is.
Do you honestly think for a minute that 90% of these kids worry about "something to fall back on"...Alex Poythress is making REALLY GOOD money right now with a masters degree.
Coach K is Satan. They are not called "Blue Devils" for nothing. His kids always get to play but lose their soul.
