I disagree on Larrier. There's virtually 0 chance he would stay another 3 years before leaving for the NBA so there's less downside for him waiting out the injury to see if he can come back later this year. But that's just my opinion

Larrier used his redshirt sitting out his transfer year. He will only have two years of eligibility left after this one even if he can't play any more.

Gilbert could stop playing now and still have four years of eligibility left.

I believe he could get another, Jefferson I think is on his 6th at Duke or am I wrong on that? Someone did get 6.

You can get a 6th if you lost 2 of your 5 to injury. But if you take your redshirt for a transfer or just sitting out to improve, you don't get a 6th when you then lose a different year to injury.

Thanks too bad for Terry but that may be all he needs to get to the league anyway if he's healthy enough.

Not worrying at all. Happens all the time. You want Oklahoma St guessing.

The ballhandling will now suffer incredibly.

It was an absolutely ridiculous thing for Ollie to say, his coaching and some of the weird things he's said lately have me wondering about him.

Well this is officially Jalen's team now. Personally I like the ball in his hands on the offensive end as much as possible. His athleticism, unpredictability and court vision is what's finally had the team figure it out on the offensive end and put some points on the board. Now we just have to figure it out on the defensive end..

It's fine now playing Wagner NEU and Chaminade but over the course of the season D1 teams with some actual talent will figure him out and prevent him from going off like he did in Maui. Hell, we may jusst see him re-humbled tonight. Hopefully by then Larrier and Diarra are getting ready to return, Juawn has got his feet wet enough, Rodney has shaken off the rust, and Vance stays confident and continues shooting well.

So, is it ridiculous for other coaches and long winning resumes to say it too? It's a common thing. Calhoun used to do it.

Calhoun used to say a player is a game time decision when they were going to be out for the next 35 games?

The calculus was - and is - whether he's going to play through it or get surgery, so Ollie's comments are not nearly as odd as you're making it seem.
Expand ...
Come on, we all knew he was out for a long period of time if not the whole season.

sprained mcl or acl is 2-4 week recovery process which is not bad. really don't like that it was a non contact injury, hopefully he adjusts his playstyle and removes those dangerous hop steps/travels.
Expand ...
It's neither dangerous, nor a travel. Unless you consider jumping, running, cutting, and stopping dangerous.

Does Oklahoma State not have talent? Adams scored 30 in a half, hitting all sorts of shots.

Rodney scored 20 points on back to back nights, including 7-14 from three point range. He's still rusty?

We should be wishing anyone on this team humbled. That already happened with the first 2 games. We lacked a go-to-guy. We should be hoping Adams keeps going off like he has.

He used to obscure injuries all the time. What is wrong with it? Coaches do this in all sports? What is the problem with it?

The problem is that Ollie lost to Wagner and Northeastern, and as a result people are taking out their frustrations by jumping on him for things that aren't big deals at all.

Yeah, and they forced him to commit 11 turnovers.

Rodney is still rusty until he stops starting 0-5 from three and missing easy layups. Especially against a D2 team.

These injuries are going to do wonders for Jackson and Vital. Those 2 kids are going to knock a TON of 3s down for UConn before they graduate.

It doesn't matter in the whole scheme of things but we had people on here wondering if Alterique would play against Okie State which is absurd. I love Ollie but it seems like a bit of a pattern with weird coaching decisions and weird things he said to the press.

To me, it is a normal thing I've heard from coaches who want the opposition guessing.

Don't listen to these pansies. I agree with you about Ollie. Something is VERY wrong and it could very well be him.

You guys are the ones getting your knickers soiled because of some harmless thing someone said. Sack up.

Coaches do it all the time when it's a day to day situation on whether someone will play, not when it's a season ending injury. This wasn't a case of gamesmanship, nobody bought the cr@p Ollie was selling.
 
So not to derail this thread, just wondering about Alterique's condition. Since he needs surgery again does that mean the first surgery was unsuccessful or it was but the shoulder will always be weak or loose or? Will another surgery even help?

Boy oh boy - if you love KO - what the hell do you say/do about folks you don't care for??????????????????????
 
I'm past the point of frustration. I can only just laugh at this point. The season's been on for not even 2 weeks and it simply could not have gone any worse whatsoever. It feels like this season has been going on for 2 months already.

I never thought Gilbert would play against OK State. Just found the conspiracy theories you and others were throwing around to be ridiculous.
You are still talking like the worst case scenario is the only scenario. And you are trying to make some piece of it Ollie's fault.

No conspiracy theories, Ollie knew Gilbert was out for a couple months or the whole season. He said several times he was a game time decision against Okie State. If it was gamesmanship it was a very poor job of it, everyone knew he wasn't playing in Hawaii.
