Thank the lord

I wouldn't play him

Carey is probable tonight per JB via Zags.

Good news -- even if he is just able to go for 10-15 minutes, to help run the offense.

Buddy starts and the board cries nepotism.

I consider Buddy starting a very real possibility. It depends if JC is close to 100%; or if he's playing but only 75 percent and will be used in case of emergency.

I wouldn't play him

If he’s healthy he has to play. Needs to get rid of any rust before MSG

Is this a bad sign that we have a player’s parent weighing in on injury status and availability to play? Good thing he’s saying available, hope he believes it.

I get what you're asking, but I see this as a non-issue for now.

 

[JoeySimz]

This is awesome! Still no true pg but it will be great to have another ball handler and see Jalen in a real game. We still haven’t seen our full team but I’m not too worried with Jalen back, at least at this point. Hopefully we’ll get Frank and Howa soon.

 

[DaCuse]

I get the feeling that some of these injuries are more serious than we thought.

unless he has gotten a lot more reps with the starters than has been reported, i expect jb to bring him off the bench

not if zags called him

SU will grow from these injuries and to be honest, it might even help Battles overall game playing point for a few games just to see a different aspect of the game. As some have said earlier, I just want the PG's to heal correctly and soundly so these injuries do not hamper them for the rest of the season. It is possible this might cost SU a higher seed in the tournament but will forge the steel needed for a big run at the end. So...in the big picture if this is done right, it may be a blessing in disguise.

Same thing happened with Etan Thomas, either his junior or senior year. An injury caused him to miss a handful of games at the beginning of the year, and the team learned to play bigger without him. Made for a better team. That 2000 team, his senior year, should have beaten Michigan State, and could have been a contender. That was a hell of a team.

If Carey cant go tonight, Tyus is more than capable of running the point for us this game. Hopefully we get these guys back by UConn..

It was just posted that Carey's dad says Jalen is going to be able to play tonight.

Even better! Ready to see these young guys tear it up tonight!

I would normally say yes but not with John Carey. I feel like he is similar to Gary Battle. Very involved in his kids life and basketball journey but not difficult or the type of person to create problems at all. A benefit to the program not someone who makes life more difficult.

 

[Cusesky8214]

Hoping Carey is feeling close to 100%...cant wait to watch this kid! Hes a real game changer.

 

[FRANKIEFAN]

I'd let Tyus handle the 1 spot tonight honestly with the intention of reversing this and turning the job over to Jalen for Morehead. Both will work together and share ball handling duties but it would be good to give each a game as the 'guy' at the 1. Spot minutes for Washington.

 

[FRANKIEFAN]

Oregon is a tough game without Frank Howard. They are very talented this year.

They are going to be without one of their top 25 recruits Louis King next week. (Probably around 95% he won't be ready that soon.)

IIRC, he went to HS with Frank, didn't he?
