This title was bestowed upon me, to be fair.  I'm no insider.

I know. I was just making a joke.

Home run swing for RayJ, ended up to be some harmless popcorn. That said, if the staff is not done yet as they say, then maybe we can still get a solid base hit, double say. Yes I know it will seem like settling, but at this point maybe that is our reality.

With team we have put together and with whom we NEEDED to have come back, I really think we need a good solid PG distributor, NOT a stud one. Afterall, the biggest reason that we need one is to facilitate and distribute the ball to our studs, not rely on for hero ball 3's again.

Jeremiah Williams from Iowa State?

Never wanted RayJ. He fucked Kim Kardashian’s nasty ass.

Seriously though, Jeremiah Williams is our consolation prize? Meh.

Three months from now would be a hell of a quick recovery.  That'd be 11 months from game to game.

I'd guess closer to the semester break, but could be wrong.  It usually takes more than a year on an achilles.

Injury was reported Oct 7 2022...recovery is usually 6-9 months from surgery.

Find me a basketball player that's playing again 6-9 months after tearing his achilles.

EDIT:  I searched, and the fastest an NBA player's ever come back in 7.5 months.  Usually takes a year.

Dominique Wilkins is famous for his 9 month recovery and return, that said, very minimal chance, glass still half full however.

He is not going to be needed to play big minutes at all. I like that he has possibly three years left.
