Are u a or just play one on this forum

So you're coming to the defense of the guy who decided all on his own that Calhoun and Purvis have "had enough time to heal?" Good for you.

Ryan Boatright (ankle) and Rodney Purvis (ankle) practicing today. Omar Calhoun (knee) not.

Thanks. Interesting that Omar is back to not practicing. But good sign that RB and RP are - although don't know to which degree.... but positive news.

Follow-up tweet from Gavin Keefe says it was a recovery day for him after practicing two days in a row:

... Yale isn't Duke, can we agree there?

My point being, Boat clearly wont be 100% on Friday if the ankle turn was so bad they had it x-rayed. So if this were a Duke level game, good Boat, go out there and be a warrior. When its a lesser opponent who isn't a bonafide top tourney seed already, I'm fine taking a calculated approach and using him lightly, and more so if it is definitely needed

No they're not Duke but neither are we. And we are obviously less than whatever we are without Boat, can we agree? And to throw Yale in the Coppin State type scenario is not being respectful of a pretty good team.

Omar is getting very close to needing to listen to Zionn. If this "recovery day" is because of a reoccurrence then it's time to sit down and discuss the long run of this poor kid.

What exactly is wrong with him?

Boatright is just a tough son of a gun.

If UCONN loses to Yale U., so be it. This current squad would struggle with Rio Grande Little Red School House.

It will just fan the flames that are rising about olliewood lost without JC recruits.

I am still wondering where the expert shooting skills coach is on sledteam bench.

I dont see him or her anywho.

I kinda hope you're being sarcastic with this constant theme of yours

do you even know who Ollie recruited while JC was still head coach?

if you're not being sarcastic, you're totally uninformed. Are you the "truthaboutuconn" hater from the old ESPN boards? Certainly sound as balanced

I think it's simply good injury management practice to do this (note: I know nothing about Omar's situation specifically). Modern sport has finally figured out that' playing through the pain' quite often doesn't lead to healing. Heck, even if there is no pain, it's good to have down time to let the area heal from repetitive shock/wear and tear. Have to manage these things proactively imo.

Sprained MCL.

Naw he is not truth, he is not as hateful.

Actually he is a avid fan, just one who likes to talk in riddles. Oddly, I am beginning to decode his riddles, and have stopped insulting him (as much).
