Gilbert and Diarra Redshirting

[Leebo]

How am I trolling? It was stupid thinking Gilbert would play in Maui. You've now tried to rip into me twice for pointing out the obvious.

You're ignoring what's actually being said, so it's either trolling or reading difficulty. Gilbert being a game time decision does not mean he was sure to play or that it couldn't actually be worse given more information. The fact is that you previously took a position that was unfounded and happened to be correct by coincidence, so the self-righteousness about it is just obnoxious.

Have to agree. Enoch and Durham have crazy ceilings, but have to show that they'll be ready to lead next year or we're in trouble. If Enoch doesn't improve and we need a 25 mpg big, our only option may be a grad transfer though. Getting way ahead of ourselves here, but it's been creeping into my mind.

Can UConn recruit more guys with crazy floors? I have no idea how high Durham's ceiling is going to be but to think Enoch's ceiling is crazy is setting yourself up for disappointment. Given that he was a late bloomer and given that Facey and Brimah have improved moderately at best over four years I see Enoch's ceiling being ten feet, hopefully with crown moldings.

I can't stand Brimah and can't wait to see him gone, but I have to always remember him fondly for that St. Joe's play late. Facey has never had that type of moment.

Good lord, I know what a game time decision means. There was no way in hell Gilbert was playing in Maui and Ollie knew it. That's why I kept pointing out that Ollie was talking nonsense. I wanted Gilbert to be healthy enough to play as he's already my favorite player and incredibly important to our team but I also live in the real world.

He already had the surgery, didn't he? And then it still popped out again? That's a surgical error, a rehabbing error, or just some really really bad luck. Article quotes a 90% success rate post-surgery. Sucks that he was part of the 10%.

Whether or not you know what game time decision means, you seem to have trouble with the word "know" generally. Go ahead and keep being certain of things that were not knowable at the time.

Isn't Patellofemoral Syndrome "runner's knee"? If so, that's treatable. things like hip stabilization/flexibility -> changing the way you move, and after a period of rest, overall weight training (lowerbody/core). That's what I thought anyway.

That is true, and PFS is also the most common cause of knee pain. PFS is not associated with the loss of articular cartilage (the cartilage on the bearing surfaces within the joint) and I have only very rarely seen it associated with swelling of the knee joint (which was reported about him earlier). So, the reports don't make clear sense to me.
I have also dealt with PFS myself for the last 9 years. I did not sleep in a Holiday Inn Express last night, but I am a physician.
