Vance Jackson unlikely to play tomorrow

[tcf15]

Concussion confirmed.

Thats not good. I hope he gets well soon. With the way this season has gone, Its really unbelievable how many players have missed games due to injuries.

 

[champs99and04]

If I had to choose between Vital and Jackson, I'd take the former. Hope Jackson gets healthy, though.

 

[EROCK CONN]

Is anyone playing tomorrow ?

 

[alexd]

Can anything else go wrong between now and tomorrow's game????

 

[BlueDogs]

Too convenient...

Nothing is confirmed thats just what they put out there for the press. Too many of our players are soft and missing games for what's presented as concussions. This type of approach starts from the head all the way on down. I never saw a Calhoun team have so many guys missing games with so many subjective issues.

PS: Amida dominate Cinci

At this point they just don't seem to be concerned with the Cinci game with the way they are announcing every injury far in advance. AACT or bust is in full force.

Let's knock it off with this "these players are soft these aren't real concussions talk". The amount of ignorance still bouncing around out there after what's come to light recently regarding concussions and CTS and all that
is astounding. We're talking about the game of basketball weighed against potential mental and physical health issues - the latter should always be deferred to if there's even a scintilla of evidence that there may be a concussion. Come on

I like when I see you're the last person to respond to a topic. It's a fun game to try and guess the type of idiotic comment you'll come up with for whatever subject is being discussed.

 

[RichZ]

Seems like it was just in November when we were concerned about finding minutes to keep all our guys happy. Now we're looking under the carpet for guys to keep all our minutes filled.

Snakebit.

 

[Chief00]

Too convenient...

Just a gut feeling - something is not right overall. The possibilities:
1) Over cautious concussion protocols - there's no downside in their eyes to being overly conservative even to the point of ridiculous.
2) Drugs
3) Guys just poorly condition, so they are more likely to get both physical and head trauma injuries
4) Very, very, very bad luck. When things keep happening the "just bad luck" explanation becomes less and less likely

 

[joober jones]

Well this certainly sucks, but an L tomorrow is worth VJ's safety.

 

[Son of Robert]

I'm calling for a breakout game from either Durham or Enoch.

 

[InKembaITrust]

It would take a miracle at this point to win tomorrows game, I'll be there rooting them on but expectations are about as low as they can get at this point. Never seen a team so riddled with injuries

 

[Palatine]

Why are they getting all these concussions? Most teams don't have any.

 

[joober jones]

So if Vital and Jackson are both out, who becomes the 5th starter? Durham at the 3?

Vital practiced today and will be playing tomorrow.

Every doctor in America just laughed out loud.

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

Cya season

 

[HungryHuskies]

I'd like to see a long lineup and try out Facey at the 3. He's proven he can drive to the basket. Juwan at the 4.

 

[huskymagic]

This is one of the few times I agree with Chief that something isn't right here with these so called "injuries" and "concussions". Not only are they "confirmed" hastily before game day not even a game-time decision, but multiple guys with the same so-called ailment and diagnosis. Either we have some of the softest, weakest, and least-physically prepared UCONN athletes of all time or something has changed in our procedure and protocol towards subjective injuries. Some of our guys aren't in the best physical shape that part is clear, but the ready-made excuses before games is becoming a trend here, and an easy cop-out to a tough season.

 

[jrazz12]

I mean honestly, does everyone have these morons on ignore or have people just given up responding to the idiocy?

We have people going unchecked here blaming a couple minor concussions on Ollie, recruiting, drugs, bad conditioning, being soft, or just making excuses.

This is pathetic. I've never used the ignore feature before but this place is unreadable. I'm going on an ignore spree to save my eyeballs some pain
