Gilbert 'game time decision' per KO

[UChusky916]

All-in-all.... great news. Even if he doesn't play, it shows us his injury is not as serious as originally thought.

I mean that's to be expected. Dislocated shoulders only hurt while they're out. Once it goes back in it feels fine. Strength will be the issue

 

[Leebo]

Fantastic. We are capable of beating OKS without him, but it's nice to know he's aiming to be back soon.

 

[intlzncster]

Don't want him to play yet, quite frankly. Dislocations become more and more of a problem the more often they happen. As someone else said, I'd love to see him get some strength work in.

 

[EBonz30]

It's time to go to work tomorrow, make a statement, you have more talent than Oklahoma St., just a matter of putting it together.

Make a statement.

Couldn't agree more

 

[MexicoHusky]

Is he practicing?

Oz said 3 months out on tos.

Brutal if true. Why even bother saying what KO said to the press then?

 

[James]

This idea that its a 'game time decision' is bonkers, there is no way he is going to be playing anytime soon. he had to be helped off the court, and has a shoulder injury history to boot. You really just can't trust what the staff says to the media about any injuries, things go from 'minor soreness' to 'potential redshirts' in a blink of a eye.

Ollie is acting very strange.

This seems more realistic to me, but what do i known

 

[ConnHuskBask]

Pretty sure I'm going to wait and see what an actual doctor says to KO before I consider anything he says.

You really think the kid hasn't seen a doctor?

 

[Towney007]

He should sit out another week for sure. There's just no urgency in getting him back before he's ready. If this was March and he's up to it - he should go for it. But it's November and we're in Maui, so... enjoy the free trip to Hawaii kid.

Well, maybe you should consider that KO almost certainly has heard from the doctors. Maybe we should realize that his medical information is private and none of us (except Harry and maybe undeclared others) are doctors, certainly no one who is an orthopedic specialist who has examined him and knows his detailed medical history. How Ollie releases information probably reflects changes in what he has been told by the medical people. Or, perhaps KO is losing his mind and is going to play AG even though it would jeopardize his future and go against medical advice. Okay, perhaps I shouldn't be sarcastic about this, but we are in no position to judge what AG and his doctor's decide.

1. After watching the LMU game a few times the team looked alot better. Adams was getting in the lane dishing to the bigs, Rodney got to the hoop 3 times, Brimah played a hell of a game grabbing boards, Vital is gonna be a great guard for us high bball iq, plus the team looked good defendingIin a zone. want to see more zone from them. we should beat ok state but you never know. we need to get out to a quick lead.

I think KO is talking out of his ass. He said the same thing right after the Marymount game as well.

Clearly you're in a better position to know what the situation is.

 

[EBonz30]

Time to go to work Huskies!!

Wake up....

Purvis, Facey, & Enoch

 

[ConnHuskBask]

Never said that. Just said I'd rather hear the actual medical details before setting expectations on when he will be back based off of what seems to be wishful thinking from KO.

You're saying he hasn't talked to the doctors. And you have no way of knowing that.

 

[Jaker]

Shoulder dislocations just don't magically heal. Hopefully he doesn't play before he is 100 percent ready.

 

[champs99and04]

I would have signed up for three months after seeing what happened Thursday. If it's less than that, great. The goal should be getting him back and in rhythm by the stretch run.
