Jesse Edwards Out For The Season

[Cusefan0307]

Ever is not true We've had some darn good centers over the years

I mean it was sort of a joke, but over the past 15 years our best centers always seem to get injured or in Fab's case he was suspended.

Frank getting all this time will help but now he needs to step up even more

 

[Fly Rodder]

Tough tough loss. Most important player on the team. Jesse covered up a ton of bad perimeter defense and offensively was a monster.

Frank can dunk, but he doesn't have Jesse's hands, instincts, or moves around the basket.

SWC75 might have to pivot his questions!

There's one I'll save for a future show to open a space.

 

[jgeorge322]

damn. Get well big guy.

JAB!

Jessie is going nowhere.

Let's hope so.

Next year rests on Jesse, Frank, Benny and Cole coming back.
And Jimmy and Buddy moving on, so the coach can get back to more objective coaching and player usage.

Frank has been getting better. The problem is that he's probably going to top out at 20 minutes a game due to foul trouble.

May end up meaning more minutes for Benny. In an odd sort of way.

Hope he’s ready.

Healthy Sid is a formidable player.

Healthy Sid is also a unicorn.

 

[GoCuse14]

Give Benny the start with James at the 5.

Gross.

 

[721Comstock]

just when I was starting to watch again.

I blame you.

 

[two3zone]

Prove him wrong about what?

Are you serious?

 

[upperdeck]

well we won last game with like 6/6 out of the centers.. some teams you dont need much to win, some you do. Sideba might be able to give you 5 min a half or 5 a game in one shot.. might be able to do that but not 2 games in a row so many unknowns.

 

[FRANKIEFAN]

I have faith in Frank.

If JB moves Jimmy over for the majority of coverage at the 5 he should be fired imo

That won't happen Benny Williams ie Cousin It is unplayable.

Frank and JBA will be OK. Both guys might burn through all 10 of their combined fouls most nights mind you.

edit- Oh yeah we have Sid.

This isn't bad it doesn't change outcomes from likely wins to likely losses. Just sucks to not get to watch arguably our best player finish the season.

Any football players available? Does Shrader have any game? How about Garth Barclay 6'7" 290 lbs.

This is going to be a big part of the JB offseason spin machine.

"Well you know we had started to play better, won 4 straight games, then lost our starting center..."

Which is true...

Isn’t that exactly what happened? Edwards was becoming an absolute star and his play had turned us into a very good team.

 

[SWC75]

Really terrible news. Heck of a year he had. Loved watching him this year. Sounds like such a fluke play. Any idea when it might have happened?

They said it was on the play where he fouled out. His hand hit the floor.

Never say never with JB but highly doubt he does that. He treated the 5 position in the last game well with Jesse having an off day/serious foul trouble. Didn't go to Jimmy for more than half a second.

 

[Gotothehole]

Damn we right when are going on a run

A very good team? Seriously...you guys have to watch more college basketball outside of the ACC.

 

[bballbeadle]

Well, VT is not going to know what the Orange are going to throw at them.

That’s the spirit!

Cuse basketball has actually had really good injury luck the last few years

Compared to what? Between 1976 and Arinze's injury (35 years) we had 2 scoped knees to Louis Orr and Leo Rautins. They didn't miss much time. Since AO there's been quite a few. I'd have to look it up but Sidibe every year comes to mind.
