Symir Injury Updates...

JB says things.

Absolutely

Sharing minutes as we’ve seen unmotivates or is it demotivates some kids. Last year Auburn had a losing record sharing minutes despite having 2 of their 5 departures drafted. Guess things don’t always work with consistency.

there was another thing at play with Auburns record last year. They had nothing to play for. They self banned before the season.

Yep, every season requires differing approaches. But one thing that is always consistently important: depth. JB decided that he could make a go of it with a perilously shallow rotation this season. If the team was good and no one got banged up maybe that’d work. But it hasn’t.

Unfortunate he was playing his best bball.

Lol…JB announcing Swider as our best option for the 2 guard (and more ball handling duties), is like saying bringing in the blind kid to be my closer in baseball is our best option

We would be better off not dribbling than putting Swider at guard. Actually, we would be better off not dribbling anytime Symir isn't playing.
Just pass the ball and work to get open in space when you don't have the ball.

Like RF said, Pearl plays a style that necessitates it. I also suspect he makes sure to get kids minutes to keep them motivated. JB has always had a much different approach than that. And hey, he’s been successful with it. I just bristled at the notion that he *couldn’t* get a 4th guard to come here, or stay here. That’s preposterous, in my opinion.

Well, we'll test that proposition if Buddy and Joe come back next year.

Unfortunate news. Mostly, bc hate to see injuries. In grand scheme it doesn’t mean a whole lot. If we somehow had strung more wins together by now, then it would be more concerning as he’s been playing quite well.

Maybe Jake Presutti or Ronneil Herron have some eligibility left?

Duke crushed us without one of their guys, maybe we can still crush Pitt without our backup.

 

[Manleymen]

will be amazing to see if pitt can press for 40 minutes...and what happens

No worries, no one can slice through a press like Cole Swider…….

 

[4evaOrange]

Here I come boys. Your prayers have been answered!

 

[ORRange]

So JB is going to unleash Cole, we finally get to watch the 2nd coming of Marek. Who'd have ever thunk, well at least Cole usually gets rid of the ball like its lava.

 

[Newhouser]

For everyone who hates his game - we all better pray Joe doesn't turn an ankle tonight. Buddy as primary ball handler is scary ( I guess as is Cole or Jimmy so let's just hope no injuries).

Oh the meltdowns we would see.

I expect some NLI gear after your debut lol

I’ll sign you a rock and the throw it to ya. I got you brudder!

Swider is a decent ball handler so I can see why he might be called to help with Symir out. The problem is he tends to trip or fall down for no apparent reason. He also has a quick first step and good moves and footwork to the basket but rarely looks to finish but instead stops and gets trapped. Maybe Coach or one of the assistants will tell Swider that when he is at the point keep it simple, if he has a small defender on him, be aggressive back him down and/or shoot over him?

 

[Orangezoo]

Can we keep this in the thread that already exists?

 

[Orangezoo]

Several of us noted the possible timelines above FYI. My guess would be 2 weeks is absolute best case. 4-6 weeks most likely if it's an MCL tear. Given season is on the ropes and if he needs a scope could be end of the season for him.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

"Fluid situation" = they're draining fluid from his knee.

 

[baggerbob]

Gonna be like Aaron Boone describing a Yankee injury. " We think he'll be fine. We"ll look at it in the morning. He's day to day, we don't think he needs to go on the IL." The next thing you know the player isi out 3 months.

Boone is a joke as Yankee Manager. If George was alive he wouldn't have lasted 2 months.

Fluid ... we think Arinze is day-to-day and could be available for the next game.

 

[Orangezoo]

Be great for Symir to get back and play big minutes if he is healthy. Freshmen aside, he is the only semblance of a lead guard we have outside what Copeland can do as a frosh. His transition to possible starting PG is important if we want to win some games next year.
