When do we see Bouk back?

Umami Zen said:
A question I have about JB at the next level.. Can his body .. As it is currently constructed.. Sustain the pounding it is going to get in the NBA by the players who will be banging on him or could another year with Coach Mike erase that issue?? To me it has never been an issue of talent .Some will argue its better to sit on the bench making 3M/yr and working with trainers/SnC guys of the teams.It's his call .

I don't think there is any question that his body would benefit from another year; nor is there any question that he will be drafted in the first round based on his potential irrespective.

Which is better for him long term? I have no idea.

Thanks for your speculation based on absolutely no inside information. You can go take your seat in the corner now.

I can guarantee you I have more information on this subject than you’ll ever have access to. Stop spreading BS that you know nothing about. I have more than 1 inside connection with the program and the target as of right now is to have him try to go for 10-15 mins on 2/6 against Seton Hall. I don’t really care who you are or who you think you are. Shut your mouth if you don’t know what you’re talking about which in this case, you don’t.

10 Million likes. I have been saying all along, that I have a glass half full approach and that I was really hoping to see him back for this game. !!!!

This is not surprising. People on this board just try and get attention.
 
What part of it’s not up to Uconn or it’s coaches when he comes back that ppl aren’t understanding?

If you both have sources that are telling you the things you are reporting here, one of you has sources that are wrong. Neither of you, presumably, knows which one it is that has the wrong source(s). Therefore, both of you would be well served to turn down the machismo and turn up the humility to minimize the bad feelings when the outcome is revealed.


That's my personal advice, given as an empathic human. However, as a Boneyarder I say to both of you: Damn, son! Are you gonna let him talk to you like that!?

You’ll still be wrong if Bouk comes back 2/10 against Providence. Which was the post that you originally replied to.

I already said he won’t be back before the 23rd at the earliest. We can revisit this then.

Yep - just what we need - another message board "insider" with a schtick.

Don’t need to be an insider to use the internet to figure out Bouk likely had arthroscopic elbow surgery to remove the bone spurs, and though the timetable is lengthy, the description for recovery is that the pain goes away immediately and the rehabilitation process should begin immediately to regain strength in that region.
Hurley said in an interview like the 17th, that Bouk had a couple weeks of rehab, if his rehab is done(which it should be), it makes sense for him to be returning to practice as Kenny and Hurleyman have said. Wouldn’t be surprised if he plays in a week(7days) if he’s playing well in practice. Seton hall would be 3 and change weeks from the surgery so lines up with the initial 2-4 week parameter.

Can you run this empathy stuff by me again? Just kidding.

Well hopefully the moderators don't delete this one like they did the other one.

I don't understand why that poster's prediction and all the responses got deleted. Someone will be wrong so let the guy live up to it if he's wrong. Now we have nothing in writing to see what he predicted. But I'm not forgetting what he said.

Well just remember that he said that was the goal. As you said, the doctors still need to sign off on that when he gets to that point. And as we've seen a million times in sports injuries sometimes heal in different timelines than doctors initially lay out.

Look — it is entirely rational to be more concerned about your professional future than it is winning college basketball games or having fun playing. It is also entirely rational to determine that you’ve set yourself up with enough money that playing for more, and risking getting less due to injury or performance, stops making sense. IF, and that’s a big if, that’s what Bouk is doing, he has every right to do it.

That having been said, you don’t achieve what he has achieved without desperately caring about competing and winning, and every NBA exec knows that at the end of the day a player who desperately wants to compete and win will be of a lot more value than one who is only worried about the green. Michael Jordan wasn’t the greatest ever because he protected his God given ability. He was the greatest ever because he combined that talent with a desperate desire to be the best on every single possession.

Not much more to be said. Book doesn’t owe anyone coming back, but not coming back will also be a message that GMs won’t forget down the road.

Chief agrees with most that you said. I think James is probably torn himself between these factors. Chief also believes the NBA GM’s don’t want a high pick headache, and agree they want guys who unselfishly compete. I also think in this case at least the advisers Chief knows are sincere and think they are advising in his interest. But, I may not agree with their conclusion. My advice is to come back and LEAD the team for a real complete season. I think he would be stronger then and would have the body of work to be a top 5 pick. We likely would go very deep in the tournament and that would add nationally to his exposure. Endorsements are another economic factor.

Hopefully James' advisors don't agree with you. He will be throwing away money and won't move his draft position more than a few spots at most by coming back, and if he gets injured he could lose out on millions.
