I want to scream

Crap. That sucks.

Poor @Dove

 

[CTBasketball]

Damn. Redshirt him.

 

[Kenny11]

Damn that really sucks. That's usually an 8 week injury and could much longer if there needs to be surgery.

 

[Mike1984]

Damn. Redshirt him.

Why?

 

[Mazhude]

I can't wait for this dumpster fire of a year to end! Sending good healing thoughts and prayers to Mr. Jackson.

Likely no timetable because they're evaluating the severity and the treatment options. But agreed that if this is a long-term thing, a redshirt may be the best way to go. Not a good idea to rush him back and risk re-injury.

You have to feel terrible for him, another setback in an already challenging year for him. So tough as a freshman to come in with all of the tumult, encounter setbacks in your own performance growth, then get hit with a significant injury. If he does redshirt, I hope him and Hurley commit to an offseason development plan and he comes back next year with a fresh start. He seems like a great kid with an extraordinary work ethic.

Why?

Lol wut?

although if your point is he may theoretically not be here for 4 years, then I get it.
But then on the other hand 4 games into season. Why wouldn’t you?

Tough break in a tough season for Andre.

Why does it seem like injuries are biting us badly over the last.....6+ years. Is this just what we are going to have to get used to? It’s never been this bad before.

 

[mussels]

Caldrons of intensity work in mysterious ways. Somewhere in there, you can usually expect the charm of powerful trouble. Hoping for the best for Andre.

For the same reason why Brown and Springs played 2 minutes the 1st game, everyone is already getting an extra year of eligibility this season

 

[CTBasketball]

Why?

Isn’t that a 1-2 month recovery? I guess we don’t know details, but spooling him up in February isn’t exactly ideal.

 

[kansashusky]

Yikes.

 

[superjohn]

Geezus, we must've made a deal with the devil in 2014. Get well soon, Andre.

 

[87Xfer]

wow, this sucks a bunch. was really hoping to see him get more minutes as the season went on.

 

[MDHuskFan]

Dre for MIP 2021. Wishing for a speedy recovery

 

[zls44]

Why?

For those who aren't aware, this year doesn't count towards anyone's eligibility. So redshirting him is literally pointless.

 

[HooperScooper]

Damn. Redshirt him.

Why would you redshirt a player who isn't using up a year of eligibility this season? People keep forgetting that all winter sports athletes are getting a free year of eligibility this season.

All winter athletes in NCAA Division I sports will be given an additional year of eligibility, and all football programs will be allowed to compete in bowl games -- regardless of their records -- as part of one-time rule changes in response to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

"We felt it was important to make this decision now so student-athletes had the peace of mind to go into this season and compete," Calhoun told ESPN on Wednesday. "They know they can regain that eligibility and have their clock automatically extended, so they're not taking that chance on the front end if they choose to compete."

NCAA grants extra year for winter sport athletes

NCAA Division I athletes who participate in winter sports will be given another year of eligibility, and football teams will be allowed to compete in bowl games regardless of record in one-time rule changes passed Wednesday.

You beat me by less than a minute!

 

[Viet Vet]

I hope he recovers well.

Call me callous, but are we really going to miss a few ESPN highlight dunks? How about some team defense, and offensive continuity?

 

[M.S.G.]

We can't catch a break... I know it sounds crappy to say he should redshirt, but it's becoming obvious that this year is suuuuuuuuuuuuuch a wash.. It's clear we can absolutely compete in the NBE, might as well save a year for the kid.
