[QUOTE="moqui, post: 165760, member: 214"]
I'm going to repeat what I posted [URL='http://syracusefan.com/threads/state-of-play.15617/']yesterday[/URL]:
 
per [URL='http://syracusefan.com/threads/melo.15229/page-22#post-164596']Jake's latest post [/URL](deep in the 22 page - and counting - Melo thread), Fab will not be back until next week at the earliest, perhaps later.

The good news is that means he is not done for the year; not yet, anyway.

The bad news is that he will certainly miss the WVU game.

The other good news is that over the next two weeks, there are only 2 games - WVU and SJU. Should be able to beat the Jonnies without Fab, and WVU is like a house money game at this point- great if the Orange pull it out, but losses without Fab (assuming he later returns) almost will not be counted against SU.

That puts the big target for return as Feb. 8 - Georgetown at the Dome. After this long break, the Hoya game marks the beginning of the hardest part of the schedule, and it starts in a burst - 3 games in 6 days against major opponents (GTown, UConn, Louisville), two of which have had SU's number in recent years and the last of which is road game on the back end of the dreaded Saturday/Monday turnaround.

For the next two weeks, Fab has to do everything in his power to resolve the issues before him. That being said, he has to also continue going to practice and giving it his all. Even if he can't play, he can work hard every practice to prepare Keita and Rak for Henry Sims, Andre Drummond and Giorgu Dieng.
