Brimah update

[UChusky916]

Would be huge if we could have him back for clash vs SMU on 2/18... their front court is intimidating

 

[Chief00]

Being back and being ready to play at game speed can be two different things.

 

[huskiemaniac]

It seems like he's been out months already! Can't wait to get him back!

He broke his finger, so he's still in basketball shape. It's not like he's rehabbing from a leg injury. I get your point, though.

You in Miami hanging out with Zach Brown tonight?

Guy with the leather hat and shades is probably Chief:

Does anyone have a picture of the finger before surgery? It must have been broken pretty bad for surgery and 6-8 weeks.

 

[JimHurley]

Saw him on campus yesterday. He said he's getting there and that he should be good in a "couple weeks."

Too easy, still got a snort out of me.

Chief, of everyone here, would absolutely be the one to....

 

[Dove]

Zach's hand looks really strange.

That was just ill-advised on every level.

Why is Bill Gates sitting next to Ollie?

 

[Rocktheworld]

That was just ill-advised on every level.

Just calling it like I see it.

Who do you think actually sits next to recruits? Perfect strangers or family?

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

That's Michael Lipman, his guardian.

Thank you, but we're trying to teach boy wonder here something about using his head before writing something stupid.

Zach ought to help the guy out then. Maybe even rib him a little about it, like I would my dad if he did the same. Because c'mon man.

Anyway, carry on. No harm no foul.

The guy saved him from destitute poverty and took him in as his son. I'm pretty sure Zach says nothing but "thanks". He owns a major ticket brokerage and runs a AAU team in South Florida. How do you expect him to look?

I guess I just come from a ball busting family.

Timing son. Timing. Now may not be the best time to be breaking Lipmans balls.

 

[Chief00]

Correct.
Back in the day if Howie was recruiting Zach he would have the heat turned up so that it would be 80 degrees in Gampel during practice. Get him to commit before letting him out in cold. Ha ha

 

[KembaStepback]

I really think we need Brimah back ASAP. Our interior D is just not the same without the best shot blocker in the country.

Hamilton plays very well with Brimah. I think Hamilton will turn it around once Brimah comes back. Whats the latest? Still shooting for SMU 2/18?

 

[KingOPancakes]

Whats the latest? Still shooting for SMU 2/18?

If you believe the Bristol Press, it's looking like the 6 week side of the 6-8 weeks. That would put it at Feb 4th which happens to be a game @Memphis, with ECU, Temple and Tulsa before SMU. Would be nice to have him back for the entire stretch.

From the article: "“I don’t have any date in mind,” Ollie said, though a return in early February now seems likely."

 

[KembaStepback]

Yes, even if he comes back against ECU. That game and Temple should be enough to get him back in the swing of things before Tulsa and SMU, where we'll desperately need his defense.
