Alterique shoulder

[superjohn]

What I feared was going to happen just happened. Alterique separated his shoulder again. Reminds me so much of what happened to Kris Dunn early in his career at PC. All these great expectations for this season and it's all been flushed down the toilet bowl in the first few games. No Alterique, No Diarra, losses to mid majors. Can't remember everything being this bad in the UConn Universe. Felt like we waited forever for this season to start and I'm already looking towards next season.

Honestly, UConn has been pretty lucky with not having major injuries since the Dyson injury in 2009 (I think we win it all with him). That changed last year with Brimah and now AG's looks serious.

Time to redshirt AG and Diarra and let's just send out our seniors as best as we can and pray no one else gets hurt.

Cheer up. Bob Diaco coaches on Saturday!

I am afraid he and Diarra may be done for the season. Call this a rebuilding year and be done with it. In the end I still think we will win tonights game.

Crap.

It was only a matter of time and it didn't look like much to re- injure it. So we brought in two good players that were injured already. Pure WTF three games in and the package stores are closed.

To be fair, Alterique signed his LOI long before the first shoulder injury.

 

[jibsey]

How long for recovery on this?

 

[Silk31]

This season is a sick joke

 

[BUConn10]

Don't think he will be back before missing double digit games at the very least. Wow, what a blow...

It was known that a big hit to the shoulder and it would go out of socket again. Thought it strange how he was cleared to play in the first place.

Move to the North Dakota. Package stores close at midnight and you can play blackjack in the bars

Even with the injury you still bring him in but it's just odd that we brought in two guys like that. Just get the kid surgery, red shirt him and hope all our players stay in place for next year. I hate to say it this soon but we might be watching for the love of it this season.

Are you an amateur @Horatio? Never EVER be shorthanded.

 

[Towney007]

Lots of good pieces.

None of which fit together.

If Gilbert's done, it's tough to envision a scenario where this team accomplishes anything this season.

Between this, the Diarra injury, and Durham being further behind schedule than we'd hoped, it's really been the season from hell. It's hard to punt on a season when there is no draft and you owe it to your seniors to put the best product out there, but if this season continues to head in this direction, I wouldn't mind playing Enoch 25+ minutes in an effort to accelerate his growth, even if it means playing him alongside Brimah.

We don't owe the seniors anything, they haven't shown up and this season is in the cr@pper, play the young guys and get them ready for next season. If Durham is really fully ready to go, play him big minutes. Redshirt Diarra and Alterique needs surgery.

I'm also annoyed by those USA track and field uniforms their wearing this season.

 

[CardiacAndre7]

Best player on the team.

 

[MexicoHusky]

No kidding. We look lost without him.

 

[August_West]

And to rub salt in the wound we are absolutely finished tonight.

Absolutely hideous. And kind of gay

 

[superjohn]

I don't think a lot of people here realize how f---ed we are. I thought we would probably lose this game before Alterique got injured, now it's a certainty. We are going to have a losing record this season.
