Hopefully we have Frank back before that.

 

[Zepharus]

jesus that must have been a really bad sprain

this is a very Syracuse thing to happen... all your PGs down for the start? so Syracuse

 

[normaliswear]

Wow... was really hoping it'd be sooner. Hope Washington is back soon.

 

[cuseinseattle]

Yikes. I was hoping it would be sooner. My understanding was that he is further along than Frank.

 

[Cusefan0307]

Infanti just tweeted that Frank has been doing drills, but hasn't been cleared for 5 on 5 yet.

 

[jdubs30]

As long as we have Frank back we should be fine for the UConn then Iowa/Oregon game

 

[pearl31]

ugh.
losing such valuable development/meshing time

 

[normaliswear]

I'm pretty sure Carey IS farther along in recovery than Frank. Which would mean Washington is our only chance to have any PG healthy by Uconn.

That would be great.

 

[PauliePeppas]

I will still be shocked if he misses this game

To me this doesn't sound like somebody super close to being ready for Div1 college basketball. This sounds like he's about to walk, and in a week or two he may be able to run and plant his foot, a week or so after that resume practice, and THEN start thinking about games.

Walking boots aren't necessarily that serious. Its not uncommon for guys to slap on a boot for moderate sprains, take it off to workout or play a game and then slap it back on. I'm not saying Frank's sprain (or whatever the injury is) isn't serious - not being cleared for 5 on 5 is indicative that it is - but it's hard to say how far out he is from a return based on the timing of the boot coming off. I'm sure he can walk and jog/run right now.

They'll be just fine with Battle at the point until the boys are ready to go.

Rod woodson came back from a torn ACL in the same season and that was over 20 years ago. You'd think with today's technology HW would be ready after 9 months. Maybe he tore more than just the ACL?

 

[Dave]

Usually 12 months for an acl. I tore 3 of them. One on someone else.

 

[llandz]

Hearing Washington will be first one back. Then Carey, and Frank still about 2 weeks away.

Yeah, it was around this time last year when Deshaun Watson tore his.

 

[rrlbees]

Damn. Just to get Frank and Jalen integrated into games will be December.

huge opportunity for washington

 

[rrlbees]

huge opportunity for washington

Yea it is. But I bet Battle still starts at PG until either Frank or Jalen are ready. Will still need to ease Washington in and it allows for both Buddy and Hughes to be on the court.

 

[NineOneSeven]

Better to miss time earlier in the year than possibly be out to end the year (not that either one is really correlated or something you can choose).

 

[pearl31]

yeah, grrrrrr, not that this is some kind of death knell but what a bummer of a start to what could (should?) be a special season
