When do we see Bouk back?

[Umami Zen]

Serious questions.. Our next scheduled game is when? Sometimes hard to figure out with fluid scheduling this year.
The date of Bouk's surgery was when?

Has anyone heard that the NCAA has considered moving March Madness to dates(ie April) other than currently proposed?

IMO. Bouk/AA will do everything they can to make a run at returning this year if their bodies will let them. Unfinished business. AJax about ready to be turned loose.

Question?

Would a player who listens to “advisers” or even consider their advise to not play even a minute or even one game be considered a player or teammate with good character?

Question:

Should a poster who riddles yet another metaphorical whack at his own piñata with improper punctuation, misspelling, a split infinitive, two forms of "consideration," three instances of the narrowing word "even," and the meaningless choice of "player or teammate" be taken seriously on a suppositional question posed in the passive voice as a conditional question about "character?"

Speaking only for myself, no.

Ok. Here’s the deal with Bouknight:

he wants to play and I have no idea if anyone is advising him to sit but if so he is not listening to that.
He is practicing now, just not full contact. He wants to be back for the seton hall game but Hurley is intent on him having a few full contact practices first. Like it or not, Hurley doesn’t want to play anyone if they don’t have a few real practices first. Expect him back for Providence game.

Calm down, folks...Captbluefin’s post just takes it to a logical conclusion.

These guys aren’t preparing to battle an overwhelming French force at Agincourt, for heavens sake.

Source? If that’s true that’s great news

When did Bouk get hurt?

Fantastic if your source is right - and that would be just over 4 weeks, which is the timetable we’ve heard all along. Nice to finally receive some real information on this topic.

Awesome news. Thanks for posting.

I'm surprised it's Hurley's call to sit him longer, based on the tone of his comment the other day; but very good news if it is.

Thanks Kenny11 for finally some solid info. That would be great - even earlier than the return I expected vs Xavier.

Talk about not being as bad as it could have been! If Bouk is back for PC, he will have missed 6 games. If we can pull off a win against SHU, the team will be 4-2 over that stretch. I'll take that all day! Heck, I can even live with 3-3.

That is a reference to Henry V the play by Shakespeare. It is the origin of the band of brothers reference. It was also the origin of the strategy to attack the zone defense. According to legend English archers shot high arching shots over the top of the French shields rather than trying to go straight at them. I believe that King Harry taught suggested this strategy to Jim Calhoun prior to the 1986 Syracuse game?

Thanks K. Finally some clarity and should give his teammates a lift once fully back. Let's keep working on AA's return and get AJax back on the court.

All of the growing pains in Bouk's absence can only help for the Tournament run. Give us some games to play and let's lace 'em up. Great timing for a busy stretch of games starting with SH game.

 

[Husky25]

He should be back at 11:11.

Central Time.

Be that as it may, the lion's share of passion in this thread is directly linked to great distaste for one poster's efforts to gain agreement that an unverified and controversial speculation tilts heavily to a conclusion of bad character. In that context, your, 'slow thy roll' message felt off point.

I regard whether it applies elsewhere as an open matter.

 

[ClifSpliffy]

this, and the other quadrillion threads aboot 'L'Affaire du Bouknight' -full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.
guy accidentally sits on james left bow hinge. ouch.
docs look at it, call waste management, get rid of the trash there.
say '4 to 6 weeks' from mid january.
prognosis for recovery? he's 20, and can't even grow a righteous beard yet.
i like his chances. a lot.
and speaking of obvious, anyone notice the seeming acne attack ol' ajax is dealing with?
i certainly wouldn't be surprised if he grew six inches, or two feet, by his next game. lol.

I don't even like vodka. That's how you know shenanigans are afoot!

BTW.. GG name was never about vodka. But if you think I'm going to open myself up to that scrutiny. No.

I’ll go with the glass half empty mojo answer. NBA summer league. Seems to me that he was “shut down” by his camp. The numerous minor ailments probably scared them enough. Maybe some nba team gave them assurances that they wouldn’t pass on him if he was available in the first.

I get it for mojo reasons but Bouknight has zero worries about being a first round pick, it's about where he goes in the lottery.

The rehab process is very important for these injuries to recover the strength in the elbow. Let that play out first... we’ll hear more of it early February.

So, Monday then?
We'll know when they tell us, but the fact he was tossing around a ball with his left arm the other day sounds pretty positive.

 

[Watchdog]

Why do people get personally offended by pessimistic takes? He will turn out to be right or wrong, but the result will have had nothing to do with his prediction. I think people who jump down the throat of posters who express pessimistic predictions seem somewhat scared and unstable.
