Great news UConn nation: Jordan Hawkins ready to go

[HailUConn]

He is going to devour Canes like toast in his hand!

 

[Waquoit]

Sounds like a case of food poisoning.

 

[dingaling]

Or a case of being sick and playing through it

 

[UCann]

Glad to see him with the team! Hopefully he can get some more nutrients than just toast.

There are 3 doctors with the team. Im sure he has had IV's hooked up to him since yesterday.

He’s literally devouring Miami because that’s what they are, toast if he’s full strength

I have no idea what afflicted JH but when I was a kid (I'm kind of old now, 62) there was a pretty common stomach flu that was called a 24 hour bug. If this is what he had he should be very close to full strength tonight.

Bread must be a tell. I'd be more comfortable seeing him chewing down on a:

Looks like he is following the last of the BRAT diet!

We need a forensic pathologist dentist to analyze whose teeth marks those are to make sure those belong to Hawk.

should be lighter and faster around those screens!

Yup 24 hour bug was a good one to get out of going to school when I was a kid. That is until our moms got smart and spoiled that ploy.

 

[Edward Sargent]

Got to hold the thermometer up to the light bulb when Mom wasn't looking. Worked until I ran a fever of 125!!

This sounds like he is not out of the wooods yet. The thread title is a smidge misleading. Going to the shootaround does not equal surely playing tonight.

It’s the Final Four. He’s playing

 

[Marat]

Yeah he is playing.

 

[gwhuskyfan]

No need to even do much in shootaround. Don't need to waste any energy

I think so too but as you said, it's the final 4 so everyone will be a little uneasy until we get the all clear. The report wasn't overly enthusiastic about how he is feeling so while I'm pretty sure he will give it a go, I'm more concerned about how he plays and how much he plays given his illness.

Also called the hangover. I had the 24 hour bug many times in high school and college.

 

[alexd]

Just like mom used to give us.... toast, saltiness and ginger ale.

 

[alphasigko]

If I do not get food poisoning from the Waffle House I had breakfast at this morning, I will be surprised. Yikes! The worst ever!

I've had more than enough of those in my life. The 24 hour bug was a little different (but at times with similar symptoms).

 

[k-walk]

The drained comment worries me. Luckily miami might be one of those teams hawkins doesn’t need limitless cardio to get open against

Shooting in a massive football stadium is a whole other animal. Different backdrop, court is raised etc.

 

[Scoe]

Well most importantly the Hawk is on his feet and appears to be ok. Hopefully the time it takes till game time will do some good and he has enough adrenaline for 3 hours.
