Have you heard of Akok Akok? He's still not physically ready. Hawk just had a very aggressive dunk over Mohammad from GTown who is no slouch. I'd say Hawk is coming along just fine and will have a ton of physical improvement from this year to next.
The dunk was awesome and he's improved tremendously on defense. He's really physically weak now, once he gains weight/gets stronger and improves his handle he can become a star.
if u watch closely, a funny thing happened on the way to that dunk.
You can get a concussion from a whiplash.
Alright everyone. I apologize. Hawkins is the man and I'm ignorant on concussion science/protocol.
Something you don't see enough of these days actually.Well at least you can admit when you are wrong.
I don't think Hurley makes those calls. That's James Doran and the medical staff's job. That's why Doran sits on the bench.
The part about the brain whacking against the side of the skull isn't something I thought of. Something else I did notice when looking at the play is that strangely or surprisingly, the lanky Kalkbrenner appears totally oblivious. I'm pretty sure if a man just starting to break stride, speared my sternum or chest with his head, it would hurt. He shows zero reaction.
Hawkins is anything but soft, his first instinct after getting up was to act like he was still fine to play and not come out. But he was teetering like he just took a few Marvin Hagler hooks . I didn’t like his gait and I’m worried about him . I’d be shocked and pleasantly surprised to see him before NCAA’s. and even that is iffy.
I thought Cole ran into some concussion problems last year around tourney time.
Cole hit his head on the floor with under five minutes left against Creighton in the Big East semifinals and was bleeding on the court. He suffered a mild concussion and is in the protocol. His coach Danny Hurley said since their first game is on Saturday, Cole has a better chance of returning than if it was on Friday.
Dazed. He ran into a brick wall and had to be helped off the court.
You'd be even smarter if it was a Holiday Inn Express..........
Agreed. I just find it suprising that for a collision of such significant magnitude, Kalkbrenner appears absolutely unscathed. No wincing, no favoring, nada. Anyone who's taken a head to the chest knows it's not pleasant. Hawkins appears to collide with him at an angle, with the impact being the side of his head rather than the crown like I initially thought. So, a sort of whiplash effect may be what occurred here. Along with everyone else, we just want Jordan to be well and to fully recover before he sees the hardwood again.
One of them was expecting the impact and bracing for it; the other was not. Try that experiment and see how it affects your stability.
Now I've seen everything.
Are you blaming him for running into a 7 footer while defending?
No your reaching.
