Firmly grasping this great news right now. Stoked.

 

[RF79]

He’s definitely that extra boost we needed!! Let’s go Huskies!

 

[SixRings]

Welcome back! It’ll be great to have his energy on the court.
I heard somewhere, maybe here, that a surgically repaired Achilles is stronger than your biological Achilles due to the materials used. Don’t know if that’s true but certainly hope there are no issues.

 

[CardiacAndre7]

Anyone have a link to watch?

 

[GHSWolverines]

In the brief time he was in , he still has a lot of energy. Great to see him back.

 

[Palatine]

Nice to see. He looked healthy. He was confident enough to throw up that three pointer. Work him back slow.

 

[ucawn]

He definitely needs more time to get back in rhythm, he also didn’t look confident in jumping, which I’m sure Hurley told him to keep that to a minimum.

“Coach Hurley gave me a book to read”

Hurley is building quite the program both on and off the court.

Giddy, Coach has had a reading list for these kids since day 1 and it's one of the most impressive parts of his program expansion, for me, to this day.

Tyler took about 6 games to find his rhythm. I'd be very happy if Akok finds his within a similar timeframe.

hmmmm. 'chop wood, carry water.' i endorse these habits vigorously. better than a gym workout. coach knows best. now, if i could convince any coach to get swimming into their teams regimen.....

 

[formerlurker]

If those kids aren't in a pool everyday, Spliffy, we have a problem. It doesn't have to be traditional "swimming" but 10 minutes in the middle of the deep end does the body good.

 

[uconnbill]

Just good to see him back on the court after not knowing if he would play this year at all.

 

[glastonbury50]

Every article I read on him talks about him being a fan favorite. The enthusiast that guy plays makes everyone love him.

 

[Rico444]

He looked rusty for sure, but I'm just glad he's back out there. The game where he tore his Achilles was the only one I went to last year, and it was such a devastating moment. I can't believe he's back on the court in just under 11 months.

That wasn’t the only one I went to but I was sitting right on the baseline when my heart sunk. That was tough for everyone there to see. I feel like he looked great in that game too.

In the brief time he was in , he still has a lot of energy. Great to see him back.

Looked rusty, but obviously expected.

Butler/DePaul games ..Combined with this coming week(no games) ..Are good for his body/confidence.. Doesn't need a ton of minutes immediately..First step..Needs to trust his body in game situations..
