Any update today? I say, he's got 9 months to heal. Tape up the finger and get him out there for his defense. He doesn't have to shoot. At least let him try. If he can't be effective, then he'll sit. But we are not going to get our 20th without his defense and offense from Bazz.

On the other hand, what the hell are we playing for right now? Let him use all 9 months to heal and be ready for the start of 2013-14. Same with Bazz.

Well, there's a few reasons to win at least one more game.

1. Give Ollie a 20 win season in his first year
2. Not finish the year on a 4 game losing streak
3. Finish in the top half of the BE (helps recruiting)
4. and finish ahead of those PC wannabes....so we don't have to hear it from them for the next 9 months

Letting either play if they are not 100% safe from reinjury is flat out stupid.

It would be nice to win another, but the health of any kid isn't worth it. Especially this year.
