Mullins out 6 weeks with ankle injury

[CL82]

Whatever a "nothing sandwich" is, I think it's not that.

Agree, it's more like a something side dish.

 

[Lafayette]

This totally sucks, but we'll take it now more than any future time.

Sounds like Stewart gets his start, and really hope Silas and Tarris can be ready post Michigan State because I loathe exhibitions for the injury risk.

 

[HooperScooper]

Lets hope he's out for less than 6-7 weeks.

However, according to a source close to the situation, Mullins is a "quick healer" and could be back before six weeks.

Sure! Lol

Article is all over the place though. Goes from saying “out nearly two months” to “source says he’s a quick healer - less than 6 weeks”

So Indiana kids have weak ankles or something?

McNeeley is from Texas

Not a terrible thing to test out all the depth we have. Team should gel and we will only be stronger for it. Worked out well in ‘24 for us!

High tops don’t actually do anything to prevent ankle injuries though.

We had a long discussion on here about this last season after McNeeley's injury. Let's not do that again. Lol

Watching the rotation dominos fall this way and that way in the on-court mix, it is more minutes available for 4 or 5 players. I'm not going to guess at how exactly, but Jalen, Jaden, and Malachi are up for more minutes as well as Jacob Furphy getting some run. Duane Karoma may also find his way onto the court depending on how Hurley decides to utilize him. In our tougher OOC games the rotation will likely be tighter. I hope Tarris is good to go or we will really be in for some tough games.

It sucks that out 5* freshmen keep getting leg injuries. I hope Stewart is up for the challenge, but the fact that Mullins beat him out for the starting spot against BC makes me a bit hesitant. At least we can probably slide Silas to the 2, Solo to the 3, and put Malachi at the 1. It would be a smaller lineup, but plenty of playmaking and shooting

 

[UCLJ0211]

Also never good for your NBA draft file when you may miss 6 out of your 8 toughest games.

Well, the timeline suggests he might be back for Florida and/or Texas and then St. John’s and Creighton both twice.

 

[Huskyforlife]

For all the talk of how much depth we have on the wing, I sure don’t feel good about any of them starting, and Malachi starting ruins our size advantage. This really blows, get healthy soon Braylon.

 

[Samoo]

We can't have nice things. 😏

Except championships...

 

[Hi-Low]

wtf

 

[superjohn]

Is Mullins one and done?

Yes

 

[John]

Liam is from Texas

He got a bad case of Indianaitis from recruiting

 

[superjohn]

It's now or never for Jaylin and Jayden. The opportunity was there last season with Liam out and they didn't take it. They're now juniors and it's time to really show something and be consistent.

 

[Horatio]

Well the good thing is Hurley stacked the team up well enough to sustain injuries.

 

[RuffRuff]

Well, the timeline suggests he might be back for Florida and/or Texas and then St. John’s and Creighton both twice.

Even if he comes back on timeline will probably be worked back slowly without having had any time to build up in live action.

 

[Icehawk]

Shades of Stephon here, hopefully Braylon heals quickly and is able to hop back in. Let's see what the guys can do.

 

[Huskyforlife]

Even if he comes back on timeline will probably be worked back slowly without having had any time to build up in live action.

That’s my fear, being back doesn’t mean he’s thrust into the starting 5 immediately. He’d have to come back and start dominating to get his spot back quickly.

It's like you don't even know us.

Especially seeing we could have upgraded from them this off season and chose instead to bring both back. We doubled down. It’s up to them the produce. The quote from Dan that the roster was begging for one of them to emerge was concerning as what they are shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone at this point.
