Castle injury update

[wingsfan055]

Why didn't DH say this in the first place? He should be back by end of the season will of course being interpreted as very pessimistic by almost anyone.

As I was saying...


I love that Coach Hurley wore his flat-brimmed hat during his Castle injury update presser…likely just to troll the BY goofballs who can’t stand that hat!

Also…love this HIPAA-adherent statement:

Reporter: So what are they saying it is? Like…As far as the problem?

Hurley: Just…you know…some stuff.

They aren't running him back in soon after any type of procedure for "some stuff". He's young but still this is about his future. 4 plus weeks would be my irresponsible guess. Sucks he could miss all of the big OOC matchups. Would love to be wrong.

You guys are out of your minds. We won a ship less than a year ago. We are really good even without Castle. Losing some early season games isn't the worst thing in the world - our coach is great when we have something to prove.

This actually may be a long term positive as it gives some of our depth some burn in big games.

Wounded animals. We are good again chill out.

i think the “does not appear to be season ending” was sloppy editorializing by Amore, not a Hurley quote.

 

[YoungFree]

I agree. It's really frustrating and getting tiresome.

You do remember protection of student privacy and strategic messaging, right?

People are only fans of winning today.

"Everyone moves up a spot," Hurley said. "It's never good to lose a player of his caliber. We went through something like this early last year. It hurt to go through, but it helped."

A few of of you understand nothing and deserve even less.

 

[HuskylnSC]

I'll give you a preview, it involves lots of scoring for the opponent and very little for UConn

nah, you missed that one. besides if you make a statement it's just an opinion without your reasoning.

 

[HuskylnSC]

Per last year, talk of a double BIG possibility in the Yard is obviously dumb and not productive. How dare you bring it up again!

Please forgive me. I am old and still remember Robert Parish and Kevin McHale. One mobile big and one traditional post.

This is the way.

Think Joey C. No way he morphs into Georgetown Joey C without earlier unexpected burn

No, I didn't. Our offense would not function with 2 guys in who can only score within 4 feet of the basket. Our defense will not be at its best with Karaban trying to guard opposing 3's and Johnson against 4's. Karaban is great, but he's a mismatch for us at the 4 and there's no reason to diminish that. Johnson would have 2 touch fouls within 30 seconds trying to stay in front of the quicker 4's in the Big East

 

[TheHorde]

Clingan and who?

Karaban duh.

 

[ConnHuskBask]

Can we take a moment to thank all the sanctimonious blowhards on this board for their service in providing a counterweight to the whining. What would we do without guys policing a college basketball message board?

 

[UConnSwag11]

Welp. There we go. So he might be back for Gonzaga at best.

Would be great but we’ll see. Timelines haven’t matched up as of late

 

[UConnSwag11]

Yep, we did our part!

Wait until it’s the start of the new year and Castle hasn’t suited up

Serious question, has every coach who told the media what’s wrong with their player, violated HIPAA? Why is this a thing now?

 

[UConnSwag11]

Need Diarra in spurts to give some rest to Newton and Ball. Other than that, it’s all Freshmen

And if he has suited up you'll just find something new to whine about. It never ends

 

[Bonamassa]

Just curious, what kind of very minor procedure could it have been? Something non invasive ?

Sounds like it could be bone chips.

 

[JustbrewitMan]

No, probably not. If you give permission for someone to do anything with your medical information (by signing a waiver form for example-something we’ve probably all done as part of medical care across different caregivers-whether we realized what we were signing or not lol) then it’s no longer a HIPAA violation.

 

[Edward Sargent]

He had some swelling could be they drained some fluid and shot in some cortisone.

 

[jibsey]

Just catching up to this injury news and I prefer a “Scrappy take” on this. Hurley sounded good in his quote. The freshman get major beneficial floor time helping them to become factors for us , and yes it may affect our early record but no panic the team will be much better come March. Let’s keep everyone else healthy.

Nobody needs diarra in spurts...

Will be fun to see what kind of plan/adjustments the staff has for Castles absence given they have some data to work with after the last game.
