Updates on Clingan ankle ?

[jibsey]

Karaban struggles with bigger and/or quicker 4s, he'd get eaten alive by guys like Soriano.

I'd rather throw Singare on him and just use up the 5 fouls as opposed to getting Karaban into foul trouble.

Good point about the fouls.

And mecurachrome

And knee sleeves and voltarin and homeopathic pain ointments.

We made Charles Okwandu work on the way to a championship, mostly because of the fouls. Feel like we could use Singare to hold the ship steady.

I sprained my ankle last Monday and was fine 3 days later. But hey, I’m a boomer.

That’s weak. Walk it off. Unless it’s bleeding you play through it.

I just doubt Singare is an option for more than spot minutes. And Johnson us goig. 35 minutes. So, Karaban at the 5 is gonna happen and the Huskies gonna play small and fast.

That or Jayden Ross/Stewart get some time.

Rod Sellers or Torino Walker would solve our problem

Torino Walkers, literally.

 

[HooperScooper]

Sarcasm?

I think every one of his posts is sarcasm. It's his schtick. It's not even funny any more.

 

[HooperScooper]

Torino Walkers, literally.

There are many on here that continually can't spell the first names of the current players correctly. You're expecting them to correctly spell the first names of players who played here 30+ years ago?

So would Adama.

It still matters to some of us olds.

 

[donyell34]

It don't matter one bit too this old timer. I try to spell and punctuate correctly but the concern over something so incidental is stupid stuff.

My pure speculation

Hurley sits Clingan on Saturday even though he can go, giving him another 10 days to rest whatever is ailing him, 13 days total

I think we're going to be dealing with Donovan's feet the whole season

25 minutes max per game

 

[CL82]

35 replies to the OP and not a single poster chiming in about the time 12 years ago when they were in their mid-30's how they recovered from their ankle sprain and giving us their opinion on when DC will be able to come back.

And posters on this board are calling players soft and just going through the motions??

I know, right? Or at least a post about how how long somebody's 50 year old wife took to recover from an ankle sprain.

I would bet on this outcome

Maybe Clingan would be healthier if Hurley would just stop sitting on him?

When Uconn recruited Singare, I though he was listed as 7'' not 6'10".

He slouches.

 

[husky8273]

Question. Do ALL UConn players get their ankles taped before EVERY practice and game? I was shocked, after having had my ankles taped before every practice and game by my high school coach, that they were NEVER taped by my college staff. FYI, I played (full disclosure, it was the Frosh squad) for an ultimately very well-known, successful ND coach. He was my coach at Penn.

his one year at Fordham was magical

 

[Greedo]

He slouches.

He must need to slouch a lot to get down to 7 inches.

 

[Banta55]

That's what I saw and thought as well

Wasn't a ankle for sure

Thanks for the Friday AM comedy
What is sad is that it is laughable - absolutely no reason not to give your "coveted freshmen 5" any appreciable playing time during the OOC early season vs the scrubs, But burying these teams take precedent over player development.
Placing AK at the 5 is ridiculous to do to him. It eliminates his strengths completely and will create foul issues for him. UConn played small and fast (actually slow) vs SH and we all saw what happened. St John's guards are just as quick as SH's.
Johnson wont last 35 at the 5 due to foul issues.

Don’t forget Kevin Freeman

Unless you’re Curt Schilling and then you just keep throwing.

Hurley said it was a sprained ankle. I don’t think he has any incentive to lie about it.

 

[Devland]

It's possible that Clingan's injury could help the team in the long run. Learning to play with a small lineup. Could help for that inevitable game where Clingan is on the bench in foul trouble. If they learn to play at a high level without him, it could add they option of taking him out of the game down the stretch to avoid other teams putting him on the line in a tight game.

This is crazy. He was finally starting to look like himself again a couple of months after the initial injury and now he might miss more time and will have to restart the conditioning process again. Not ideal at all.

No not from what I saw. Killed on the boards night in night out won’t end well.

Samson is comparable to Hassan. Ask them to play 30 minutes and you’re just not as good of a team and it will show. We need people healthy or it could get ugly.

I was not saying playing without Clingan was a good thing.. my point is most likely, because of foul trouble or injury, they will have to play without him at some point. It would be beneficial if they can learn to adapt.

 

[Shamon30]

The players who didn't get into the game.

Come on now. Ross, Stewart, and Roumoglou gave us a solid and error-free 40 seconds.
