Another pucking week of wondering if he'll ever play

Maybe for you.

Not for me or the other fans that realize that this is simply a case of not needing him against UF and giving him an extra 5 days to be fully 100% for the tourneys.

I said it in another thread, but Vanderbilt absolutely scarred this fanbase on injuries.

Hmmmm damn! Wasn't there a Twatter tweet last night that said RT would definitely be back for the NCAA Tournament? How legit was that account/tweet? I'm not a Twatter person.

They said he did participate in practice yesterday. May not have been full practice but at least some. And said he may start but come out immediately.

Makes total sense. UF is way down this season, game is in Rupp.

Another chance to get Richards and Monty valuable PT heading into the post season and UK wont play again for basically a week which will give Travis time to work his way back via practices and get ready for SECT and NCAAT.

other than maybe starting and then immediately coming out.

Hope he is ready for Friday.
Me too and I wouldnt mess with starting him either just because its Sr. day.

Get the man healthy so we can make our run!

I don't know how anyone can assume he will be back for SEC tournament. Hopefully he is but to assume...I mean you know what happens when you assume right ?

No reason whatsoever to play him today. Will give another full week to rehab and get ready for Friday night. We are either 2 or 3 seed in SEC regardless of today’s outcome. Cats have plenty to handle UF without him.

Unreal. I don’t even believe he comes back anymore. Even if he does it’ll be so late that we won’t have time to get back in sync with him. So in other words, another wasted season and wait til next year.

Save your insults.

Is there any truth to him being “cleared” but not playing on his own accord? If so, I dont blame him... we need him 100% for SEC Tourney, and we need our other bigs to get experience.

My god.. WE DON'T NEED HIM! It's Florida at home. Why rush him back if he's not ready?

Zion still isn't playing in a MUCH bigger game, and he was injured just one day later. These things take time. He'll be back for the NCAAT, that's what matters.

True, but at least Zion Has been practicing the last few days. Now it seems like he’s for sure going to be returning for the ACC tournament. Travis hasn’t even practiced at all yet

Hopefully, Travis throws down a 360 stuff shot in the one play he's in.

Don’t disagree with anyone saying another week won’t hurt him, but I don’t think UF will be as easy of some you. Would LOVE a stress free blowout though as some are predicting!

It seems as though he is physically ‘ok’ to go and maybe mentally not there yet.

Cal said again this week that if RT came to him and said he’s ready to go then ok but he didn’t know yet. Would a coach say that if he weren’t physically cleared and ok to play?

If he can't log a few minutes just to get a feel against UF, I highly doubt he's going to do much in higher pressure back to back games of the SEC tournament. There is no positive in holding him out again today.

Please explain what is so “unreal” about this? You do know injuries are a part of sports, correct? He’s been out 2 1/2 weeks, not months. Will be no problem at all syncing back up

Probably Coach K trying to push him back. We know what that staff tried to do right after he got injured..

Travis is also 4 years older, the rehab might take a bit longer. I honestly didn't want him to play today anyways. Get more reps for Richards and EJ to prep them for the tournament. Give RT all the rest time he needs.
