Title: Injury updates
Post by: Lkdog on November 22, 2023, 10:05:57 PM
Supposedly Hawkins has been hurt since summer. Might play Friday. Might explain why he has looked terrible so far.
Guerrier has bad wrist which is why he can't shoot for fuck yet.

Moretti is out and the Loyalty insiders think a month or more.

Wreck it Ralph Rodgers is our main PG until further notice it appears.

Makes one wonder why they didn't hold him out of early workouts or preseason games. It's a long year. We need him to not suck.

I'm not buying the CoHawk injured since summer, not one reference, played before the season, twitted has a half court shot going in from him, him running around etc Nov 7th, and now benching after attitude issues blatantly with coaches?

He may have an injury of some sort, but I still think there is more to this saga....we will see.

Sounds like a stress fracture?

Well whatever it is it puts him into January before going full speed and then he has to get acclimated to games which are all in conf play.
Not sure when/if he will contribute much this year.
We are stuck with Rodgers for 25 mpg and hope Harmon and DGL and PG by committee can help.
Oddly Domask has looked like shit in most aspects except for the Marquette game.
Not sure what his deal is as he seemed to be a serviceable ballhandler and passer with a high IQ.

I have to wonder about our halfcourt "system" on offense which often appears so unstructured
other than a dribble handoff and go try and make a play.

He may be still adjusting.

He may view it similar to learning a foreign language. It's not always easy.
Nobody here has figured it out yet.

I suspect a lot of it was guys weren't where they're supposed to be. The spacing was poor.  Domask was often left with two options; forcing a bad mid range shot or throwing a bad pass. His threes looked out of rhythm..

Maybe the spread style offense isn't structured enough?

Granted it was WIU, but I thought Domask and the team looked better last night. There was a decent flow at times. Spacing and ball movement were better. Other than missing all three threes, Domask had a nice stat line.

Yes, we looked a little better last night. Anybody could drive at will and we had about 25 uncontested step in threes. But they made a lot of those open shots and plays and that had to have helped the confidence.

I'm still very disgusted by what happened yesterday and this season with a coach who idiotically relies  on the 2 point chart without including any clock analysis, but this made me laugh Nichi. Thanks.

I think the team was waiting for the swelling to go down before doing an MRI today or tomorrow.

"The Italian Kid's Penis" would make an excellent mult.
