Bouknight gonna need to produce
He's by far our best open shooter and we're down to 9 guys who can play. This also puts into focus how we still need a lot more for next season. I don't ever trust a player coming off an ACL to be nearly the player they were in their first season back.That’s a big loss but for now we can hope it results in Bouk becoming a major contributor faster and/or the resurgence of Sid Wilson. I don’t consider this injury the end of any hope for this team to get it together. We still have guys with ability that aren’t playing up to their potential that might step up.
Will he ever be back for the entire first half of next season? Or next season at all? He’s a possible red shirt next seasonHe's by far our best open shooter and we're down to 9 guys who can play.

We can’t do both? Kick rocksAmazing to me - kid gets major injury, is facing surgery and long recovery and who knows how this will impact his future playing days, his dreams and half of you only worry about how this affects the team.
I doubt it. It would be a rush and he wouldn't be effective. They have to seriously talk about what happens moving forward.Will he ever be back for the entire first half of next season? Or next season at all? He’s a possible red shirt next season
Give me a break, it's terrible for Tyler and the team.Amazing to me - kid gets major injury, is facing surgery and long recovery and who knows how this will impact his future playing days, his dreams and half of you only worry about how this affects the team.
The reason he is at UConn is to play basketball. If he wasn't a basketball player, he wouldn't be here. I am sure that every poster feels for him (especially those who have had knee injuries), but this does effect the team in a negative way and given that this is a basketball forum, then this type of issue will be discussed without doubt.Amazing to me - kid gets major injury, is facing surgery and long recovery and who knows how this will impact his future playing days, his dreams and half of you only worry about how this affects the team.
This isn't mean to be a knock on Tyler Phommachanh but his athleticism isn't really what makes him a good basketball player. He's a good spot up shooter so a bad knee doesn't really worry me that much. If it was someone like andre jackson it would be more of a concern for his style of playHe's by far our best open shooter and we're down to 9 guys who can play.

UConn press release says out 7-9 months, assuming all goes well. 7 months is August, 9 is October. Entirely possible he could play all of next year, though I think we’d have to temper our expectations for his production.Will he ever be back for the entire first half of next season?
