Clingan Game Time Decision

I sure would like him to get more time to heal… that being said, you’d think he wouldn’t be back if the Dr’s feel he would benefit by more time off.

 

[JohnnyJr]

If he’s that close for tomorrow he’s gotta be ready for creighton. That’s huge

 

[NCHuskie919]

Really would be great to get him one more game off and unleash him against Creighton, but I'm not a doctor, I'm an alcoholic

We have a big game in 4 days that we need him for. If he's cleared to play there's no reason not to give him 10 minutes

Conversely wouldn’t be the worst thing to give him some run to get some wind before a bigger game like Creighton. But only if he’s healthy enough.

Exactly. If he’s cleared, get him some time so that he’s prepared to go for Kalkbrenner.

I think Alex tweaked his knee diving for a loose ball that he should’ve let go….I lost my breath for a minute there considering all of the blown out knees that we’ve seen lately.

 

[coachn]

Don C. Expect to see you for some time tomorrow. You know your body better than anyone. If you feel ready then your ready.

 

[husky429]

Give him a few minutes (especially if we get an early lead) each half to get his toes wet. Great news and right on schedule.

 

[Huskyforlife]

Think I’m in the camp of extra caution. Or maybe keep him for emergency minutes if we’re somehow in a close game late. So great to hear he’s feeling perfect now though.

 

[Letsgohuskies11]

Yeah im split, would like him to get the conditioning to be ready for Creighton but don't want to risk it and give him extra rest against a team we shouldn't necessarily need him to win

I think any more than 20 minutes in a game of that magnitude would be asking too much of Clingan anyways. I’m guessing he can give us 20 good minutes without a warmup game.

 

[temery]

wait until he feels 100% for several days in a row. Even better, wait until he's 100% for a couple weeks.

Me too❤️

 

[Palatine]

It's not March. Keep getting treatment. Wait until he is close to 100%

 

[Hamms30]

I'd rather he's just 100%. Because if he comes back and this happens again, I feel like he's gonna be on the sidelined until March.

 

[Leebo]

We shouldn't need him against Georgetown. Definitely fine with sitting him even if he feels fine.

 

[GameTime]

I guess I’m in the camp of if his Doc’s give him the nod, then give him some burn tomorrow. It’s tough for a guy to jump into a big matchup with that much time missed.

Like, hey DC, we know you haven’t played a minute in a month, but why have your first game back be against arguably the 2nd best team in the BE, with pretty high stakes.

Hopefully very limited time. Emphasis on very.

 

[gars44]

Me too❤️

So funny! Me too!

 

[jleves]

If only we had a highly paid and trained staff to make these decisions instead of the Boneyard.

 

[runner11]

Maybe he is. That is my assumption. But if we are going to see him continuing to grimace out there I will definitely wonder wtf we are thinking. We all implicitly trust our staff and they have given us every reason to do so but huge men and foot injuries scare the crap out of me.

 

[FearThePups]

We have a big game in 4 days that we need him for. If he's cleared to play there's no reason not to give him 10 minutes

My thought is if he’s cleared to play tomorrow, he suits up and doesn’t play unless we actually need him.

 

[Stinger92860]

wait until he feels 100% for several days in a row. Even better, wait until he's 100% for a couple weeks.

I would expect that he has been practicing, so he should get a handful of minutes.

 

[UCfor3]

We are home. It's Georgetown. Why push it? Better safe than sorry, especially considering this is the 2nd time coming back. One more game won't make or break the season. I'm sure everyone is itching to have him back(including Donovan), but patience may be the way here.

 

[NJHusky]

wait until he feels 100% for several days in a row. Even better, wait until he's 100% for a couple weeks.

Exactly…id rather lose to Creighton and have DC fully engaged with no limit in March rather than beating Creighton and risking Further injury.

 

[uconn_jack]

None of us know whether sitting Clingan longer would have any added benefit or not. Not that doctors know 100% either, but I trust them more than any of us to make that decision.

 

[UCann]

Good news! At least we know he’s healing well. If 100% and no risk of re-injury then I see no reason no to get him some burn to get used to game speed. If not, zero reason to push it. I trust our staff to make the right call.

No way! BY’ers are wicked smart.
