Mullins/Reed Status?

jleves said:
3 is over two years is not even close to statistically significant. It's bad luck.

Or as others have asked, what are you suggesting? Are we doing something wrong? Practicing too hard (I don't think you'll ever see a coach say they have to practice at a lower level to prevent injury).

But you keep saying 2 or 3 is a lot and suggesting it's an issue with something. Just want to know what your theory is for what's happening to make it an issue.

It is a lot compared to other teams

UConn fans that are this angry are strange. We have nothing to be this angry about. You aren’t owed information on a kids health. Just watch and fan. They’ll play when they’re healthy.

As far a Mullins is a quick healer comment, his original estimated return was 2 weeks from now. Back by Illinois of Kansas would constitute a quick healer .

I still don’t know who you’re mad at or why or why you’re taking it so personally it’s weird

Not mad at anyone. Frustrated that we just are injured and the players we have on the court mainly AK and Ball are not playing well at all.

Oh so you think they are misdiagnosing high ankle sprains and keeping the players out unnecessarily. Well why didn yku just say that to begin with.

Not sure he meant that. Likely meant is the training staff doing the right things to keep these guys healthy?

No dog in the fight here, but I’m assuming that’s what he meant.

Kentucky had Lamont Butler (ankle) and Kerr Kriisa (foot) last year. And Trent Noah and Mo Diabute with ankle injuries this year. Plus Lowe with a shoulder, and Jaxson Robinson with a wrist.

Given the lack of boot and possibly being ready by Friday it's clear Moore misspoke by calling it a "high" ankle sprain

Let's hope both will will be available Friday. Im tired of seeing them wearing those prep shirt/pants combo on the bench.

How about you don't act like a punk and mess with Dave Borges for no good reason.

If I was messing with him I would be talking to him it’s a messsage board I’m entitled to my opinion. How about you stop trying to act like a punk and stop trying to cyber bully me over an opinion on a message board.

It was a snide, stupid, and unnecessary comment. There is no reason to disrespect the man that is doing his job trying to keep us informed.

Cool just do your job and report the story people will make that decision to be patient or not that’s all. There’s just a bit of frustration with not seeing Reed and Mullins on the court, think that’s a normal human reaction.

I like Dave Borges, he is a good reporter and a nice guy. Just a gut reaction having the man's back on here. He brings a lot of positive press to the program.

Freshman Braylon Mullins, who has yet to play this season due to an ankle injury, participated in pregame warm-ups on Sunday but watched the game from the bench in civilian clothes next to leading scorer/rebounder Tarris Reed Jr., also out with an ankle issue. Mullins had returned to "live" action in practice on Saturday and played 1-on-1 against assistants Andrew Hurley and Rich Kelly.

It's possible one (or both) of those players could be available on Friday at MSG. Hurley said both will likely be gametime decisions.

"He's obviously not going to play 30 minutes," the coach said of Mullins. "It'll be a gradual situation for him to work his way back. He's going to be able to come off the bench and just sort of help us, and not have to carry this big weight. I know he's dying to get out there."

Hurley added that Reed is "feeling great."


If Mullins is playing 1 on 1 in practice wouldn't you assume he'd be ready to play by Friday after a full week of practice?

What's better than great? If Reed is "feeling great" then shouldn't he be ready to play also? Or are they being extra cautious?

I don't want to question the training staff since I am not privy to any medical information, but it definitely is frustrating to me to hear this and then Reed doesn't play. I've said it before but this team is so much better when he's on the floor. I hope he's ready to go on Friday.

It was just a gut reaction on my part as well, I honestly wasn’t trying to sound snarky. When you’re told to have patience I will react a certain way as a gut reaction, I don’t care if it’s my best friend or a family member. Borges does a great job at what he does.

Setbacks happen.

If he spoke in absolutes and then a setback happened you’d all be frustrated again. Lmao

They can’t win.

Going out on a limb, they both play against the Illini.

Knowing our staff, they're back before the end of January, maybe February

Mullins' grandfather told me he was ready for BYU (met him at the hotel in Boston)
