Brimah Out 6-8 Weeks with Broken Finger

[Dogdeacon]

Didn't you already post this? Not sure who the "haters and trolls" are but hey, good for you to have a bug up your a**. If we get W's out of it more power to you.

This seems like an excellent opportunity to thin the herd. Relishing an injury to say 'I told you so' and looking forward to 'nyah nyahs' that will only come from UConn defensive struggles in basketball games is begging to be ignored

Sign me up for the Phil to start, Kentan first off the bench and Steve getting increasing minutes. Just throwing Steve out there and hoping for the best doesn't help him to develop him in my view. I'd like to add some small ball with Miller as our sole big but I'm worried about mismatches causing him to foul.

I don't think using a 3 guard lineup will yield long term success, especially against good competition. yes it can be used throughout the game but we need a rim protector out there for the majority of the minutes. Take the Maryland game for example, we used Enoch when brimah was in foul trouble to neutralize stone. You just can't go without a center for extended minutes against a solid team. We all saw what happened to the defense with Brimah out against umass Lowell (yes, umass Lowell!). We are going to see a lot of more Steve and Nolan thank we think moving forward.

Jekiri is a good story at Miami. He really developed over the course of his 4 years.

Brimah hit 1 of the biggest shots ever in the history of our program. No one is rooting harder for him than me to recover and try his best to continue his development on the court.

One of the nicest kids you will ever meet.

He is the type of player I expected. Very good story and Ab can be this guy.

Wait, you and @BUHusky10 aren't the same guy?

Nope. I've been around for quite a few years. From Rivals to Scout to here. @BUHusky10 is a young pup. You're not the first (and won't be the last) to get us confused.

which finger is it?

February 18th?

How long is 6 weeks?

Obviously they're expecting it to be closer to 8.

At least he can still work on cardiovascular training and strengthening his core and leg strength. Foot work as well.

I would start Miller and Hamilton at fowards, Facey at center and Gibbs and Purvis at guard and just tell everyone to pack it in vs Texas who have legit big men. Maybe you can catch the Longhorns with an off night from beyond the arc but it won't matter much if they dominate the offensive boards.

This is Texas Basketball; not some world beater. The best thing about KO, imho, is the Pro background whereby you cannot get to down with these kind of roster changes. We should get better in all things, play our best defense and let our pedigree stomp a minor league dysfunctional roster like Texas.

Sorry to say this, but I don't want Phil getting the minutes. I prefer to invest them in an underclassman who has a greater upside than Phil. After 3 years, it's time to move on.
Nothing against Phil personally, but I think the team will benefit more if others get the minutes.

really missed watching brimah the past couple games. an early version of the courant's ccsu write-up said he'd be out 4-6 weeks instead of 6-8, but i am guessing it was just a misprint. would love to have him back for that first cinci game!!
