Good News On Bouknight

He looked like he could play today when they showed him dribbling and nailing a shot in pregame.
 
Hurley just said on Creighton pre-game Bouknight return "4-6 weeks from surgery date". I guess time frame is shifting, thought it was 2-4 weeks from surgery. Who knows at this point.

I give up trying to read Dan Hurley on Bouk, don't know if he does this time shifting on purpose or he has no idea either.

Not sure if this will mean anything to any Dr's or Physical Therapists on the board. At the Creighton game. Bouk is very deliberately tossing a ball around primarily in his left hand. If I were to guess, I would say it's part of the rehab.

It's not much, but might be an indication of his progress or lack of progress.

Akok??
Are we in grays or is he not dressing

Well, if he’s done for the season we will adjust.

Adjust to losing more games. We've proven the guy is essential to our offense with him out. If Akok suddenly makes a comeback we can probably adjust somewhat defensively or Martin starts to score on the other end. Then we have some game. Outside of that our guards are not in a position to pick up the slack.

Bouknight out 4-6 weeks from the surgery date means he'll have missed about 6 weeks of game action, might be back for Villanova on 2/20, only 4-5 games before the BET.

I hope Hurley has been out recruiting guards because the ones we have are terrible ! This is the worse shooting team we have ever had ! Terrible ! He has not done too good recruiting guards.

This is insane, every season we only have half our roster.

If anyone on here ever posts again that we should save a scholarship I'm going to find them and give them a punch in the nose. Look at today. Brown is gone. Bouknight and Jackson are out with injuries. And 2 players have 4 fouls with a lot of time left in the game. And last season was worse when we had 7-8 scholarship players available for a few games.

might also be back for xavier on 2/13 which means 7 games before the BET

I think best case scenario is we get him back with 9 big east games left to go if he can come back for providence on 2/10 and Xavier of course gets rescheduled in somewhere. That would give him 9 games. 210 makes it almost 1 month since the surgery. Pretty realistic IMO

I’m with you I think we’re a guard and a shooter short next year. Well roster 5 guards I think we should have 6 for the style we want to play.

This team is good enough to make it without Bouk.

They are bubble at best. As we can see vs lesser teams they can't make mistakes and the window for error, due to their inability to make plays on offense, is very small. They need to tread water or for now get their heads back above it with a 2-1 week to have a chance. Hopefully Bouk (and/or Andre even) is even coming back because news these days on the injury front is few and far between.

Need a really fast, jet type to create and be able to finish some. Everything is sooo hard for this team. Hawkins is a 2/3 and long, Diggins is a smooth guy, still need a jet!! #BOATSHOW
 
Would I rather have Jackson able to play than not? Of course I would. But having missed much of the pre-season and not been able to contribute before his injury, and then having sat a month, if we're relying on his return to make the team better this season we're in a world of trouble. I guaranty you the coaches aren't expecting his return to do that. Just to allow him to get a feel for the game and have a full offseason to get ready for next year.

Bouk, of course, is a horse of a different color.

I don't know why, but as we saw last year, when several guys suddenly seemed to "get it", I think that is possible again this year.

Bouk hasn't played with this new version of Sanogo scoring inside. I think Cole has been a more reliable scorer as well. Gaff is showing signs of figuring out that he can penetrate and dish to bigs or get to the rim. Akok and Jackson would both help, as we need the defensive presence and help in the running game. Hurley seems to have figured out that his 1 big lineup is a train wreck.

I am cautiously optimistic.
 
Why are we still calling this thread “good news on bouknight”- every time I see the title I get excited and think he’s coming back in a week or two- kill this. Sorry guys , I’m still salty after that Green Bay game yesterday. Our coach should have been fired on the spot for kicking that fg. OK that’s in another thread -I’m done LOL
