Title: Jayden Epps.
Post by: Jrock74 on March 01, 2023, 05:26:28 PM
Went to the hospital last night during practice.  They are not disclosing what happened other than it was likely not an injury but rather a medical problem.  They kept him overnight and he was released today. 

Not a whole lot to feel great about going forward.  Hope he is well, but my guess is he is done for the year. 

Update: Severe concussion.

Epps was apparently diagnosed with a concussion.

And then there's Mayer who had way too much caffeine over the last few days per his own admission.

The No Doz couldn't have been for studying the play book. There is no play book.

Sharetheenergydrinks may be a mult for sharethejuice.

Also, he should have shared his drinks with his teammates before the tO$U game.

I wonder if he was hopped on energy drinks when he got into it with Clark.

Maybe it was about not sharing energy drinks. Or the ball.

Curious to see if Skyy responds to him.

No Epps tonight. We are starting two wings, two forwards who think they're guards, and a center.

If all of the Epps suspicions are on point (pun intended), then DGL gonna get the keys next yr for sure. Harris/Rodgers/Moretti will be back up's for PG duties.

Really like Rodgers coming along, very confident in his game, Sencire needs to have a one on one with Bardo and understand his true game will be defense for 2 years, then his offense will catch up.

Harris didn't take any 3s but his free shot shooting kept him, and his defense, on the bench much of the 2nd half.

Out of our 18 shots from 3, RJM hit his 1 attempt and Goode missed 1. Mayer and TSJ took the other 16.
We finished at 28% but were apparently convinced that going 1-6 in OT was a good idea.

The make rate on the step back MM 3s seems to be about 1 in 5. Shannon either finds nothing but the bottom of the net, or misses badly. The commonality I’ve found is that when I start screaming at the TV for them not to shoot a 3, that’s when one goes in.

Just a suggestion, but could you watch the PU game and scream for a couple of hours ?

IMO, if we flash in middle or penetrate there, back pick Edey, then have Rodgers/Melendez cut baselines, we could get him not only in foul trouble for being out of position on almost every play and recovering, but also get many easy crowd favorite plays. (our fans of course)

Well Dickinson did just abuse us and we came out with a victory, so there is some hope. Edey gonna get his. Just gotta make sure nobody else does.

One of their guards will have a career game against us. It’s the norm.
