You know what, give him a medical redshirt. Sit out this season, come back next year. Don't want him for Butler, Seton Hall, DePaul or PC. His NBA status for this draft have taken a huge hit.

Might say more about Reibe than Reed. The way Reibe played against Illinois may have given them more confidence that he can start and we can rest Reed until he's 100% vs rush him back to have a chance in these games

Because these games are important, very important. We are fighting every game in every sport to muscle our way into a P4 conference.

Not unrealistic, but doesn’t happen much in hoops

Why would be EASE his ankle against a cupcake. There is nothing to test. Even if he felt 100% there is zero reason to play him that game. It’s an ankle, he can move effectively or he can’t. Not using it and getting treatments are the smartest thing he can do

Athletes heal differently than avg folks. Getting a week off can be a big help.

A minutes restriction against a cupcake will allow him some stress free run time. If he moves well, it will give him confidence for when his ankle will really be tested against Florida and Texas.

Do you really think Tarris is making all the decisions ? I I’ll bet he will not play until after Christmas, maybe New Year as someone else suggested. It doesn’t matter how tough you are, if you’re not 99%+, it’s not worth going at this stage of the season. When you start questioning an athletes physical toughness after successive injuries, you are asking for trouble. He may not be the toughest person ever, who knows? Until he feels confident in his body, you aren’t going to get Jackshiite from him. We are still a long way from the moment when Hurley has to say it’s now or never Tarris.

I think your question is if Tarris is making all the decisions and no, I think obviously the coaching and medical staff are involved.

Do I think there’s a difference between being hurt or being injured? Yes.

You still haven’t answered which you think it is. And a lot of people like to conveniently ignore the BYU game.

So you think he's going to continue to be a GTD for the next 4-5 games? That would be kind of strange unless there's a setback. Why would they even call it a GTD since the Kansas game if he wasn't going to play for a month?

Yes, there is. Injured means you can't go even if the world is coming to an end. Hurt means you can go in that case. Cost benefit analysis time. Does the possible positive outcome from playing hurt outweigh the negative of getting more hurt, if not injured and out altogether. We will get into the tournament whether we beat Texas and Fla or not. Nice wins to have, but it would be nice to have Tarris 110% on Feb 1st/15th or even March 1st god forbid. Feb 1 and 15 are plenty of time to sharpen up. March 1 getting late. Remember Willis Reed against the Lakers!! Hope it doesn't come to that, too much that none of us don't know at thios point. Bet on the kid being tough and the coaches being prudent. Seems as though some are betting against Tarris being a dawg.

No answers here. A bit perplexing for sure.

I don't think any players on this roster are 'soft'. Always being pushed for 100%, 11 months out of the year. I am sure it is both mentally and physically challenging to exist at this level in a regimented system, and to be one of the fifteen. There is not much room for being 'soft'.

The next man up theory works for me. I like Reed of course and hope he returns soon but in the meantime, I’m perfectly content seeing Reibe get 30 plus minutes per game. I’m getting used to the rotation with Ross and Stewart as well. To be honest, I think limiting Reibe to 15 to 20 minutes per game is going to hurt us in the long run. Mullins, Reibe, Stewart and Ross getting more minutes might ultimately be surprisingly good for us. No way am I suggesting that a healthy Reed doesn’t make us better but you have to go with what you got and I think we got plenty.

Is he "injured"? Answer the question.

Okay. I'm done with this topic.

Right now, everyone is speculating. I'm speculating. You're speculating. I would not have posted something this direct had I not had enough information to feel a certain way and that's where I am leaving it. You're free to disagree with that and make your own determination based on what you've seen/read/heard. I still stand by what I said and that's that.

Wait, if we win enough games, we get into a P4 conference? Who knew?

So you think not putting your best players on the court and losing to these P4 teams, is the better way to go. Hmmm, never considered that brilliance.

I was confused by that also. Borges said knee but earlier in the article he wrote this:

Reed was sidelined for the third time in the Huskies' last four games by an ankle issue.

So is it both or was Borges just confused and misspoke in what he wrote in my other post about the knee?
Expand ...
I thought the "ankle and knee" comment was about Mullins.
