#mubb's Duane Wilson (@SwaggyDu1) to miss start of 2013-14 with stress fracture in left leg.
Blah....
Looks like Ox will be backin' up at the point
We were due for an injury, not the worst one to have.
On Facebook they say he will be out "multiple weeks."
Good thing we are loaded with Switchables.
Anyone tweet a picture of the cast/walking boot yet?
When Wes had it, people said it was better that it happened then than later in his career. He didn't miss a game after that. So, better now than later in his career.

Got the scorecenter update and went straight here, haha.
Tough break for the kid. Hopefully he will get to play before the start of conference play.
I agree with Sultan. Provided he is playing well, I think Mayo gets time at the point when De Wilson is on the bench. JJJ ends up with most of the minutes at the 2.
Shite. Mr. Dawson, this is opportunity knocking. Are you available?
He posted a pic of himself on crutches a few days back. Said he had a syress fracture in his hip.

Wow..if really 8-12 weeks, almost begin to wonder if they might consider a redshirt? From what I've read...as talented as Duane is...he still had a ways to go to be Big East ready...if he's not ready to go till Mid January..does he or MU want to burn a year?

Cadougan anyone? Down to 11 guys again!
Well this stinks. Every time a freshman is out any significant time to start the season they end up only contributing marginally due to being out of game shape and out of sync with the rest of the team. At least that's how it seems from recent players such as Hayward, Cadougan, Mayo (soph). 8-12 weeks makes me think he will definitely not be a major contributor this year. I of course hope I'm completely wrong.

Yep, after being off that long the player isn't ready, and the team is used to playing without him. Especially true for a freshman. Red shirt.

Apparently we none of us on this board did a good job of scouting out at the Jimmy Johns this past week.
Red shirt!
I've seen "leg" - not so bad.
I've seen "hip" - could be a big problemo.
Darn it. Very, very selfishly, I was really looking forward to seeing this kid play. The idea of a guy who hit 55% of his H.S. 3s and also had some PG ability was really exciting.
And still will be whenever he gets healthy.
Best wishes to the young man.

Why would he do that? Worst case scenario he is back by mid January. That is still very, very early in the conference schedule and gives him a month and a half to get into shape before March Madness. Not to mention that if he's looking to play professional basketball there are not many 5th year seniors who are getting drafted, let alone 4th year seniors. I doubt he'll want to be in school for 5 years, so why sit out when he's healthy?

It is better to be completely healed than to risk reinjury. No reason to play, if you are not going to help the team. With the time lost he will be at the best the number 3 point guard on the team.

Junior Cadougan was back by February if I remember correctly. We decided to play him. Despite being our top recruit that year, he averaged 3 minutes a game and added nothing to the stat sheet. Now, instead of him starting this season when PG is our biggest question mark, he is off playing pro ball in Georgia I think. Imagine how good this team would be if Junior was at the helm instead of D Wil.
However, if he comes back before conference play, then I say give him a chance. But only if he is truly healed.
Like I told you before when we were going over the starting lineups....
start Todd Mayo.

Of course he has to be physically healed and ready to play, but assuming he is, with half the season left...who says he has to play PG? If he can play and hit 40% of his 3's, that's a pretty valuable addition for the last half of the season. Beyond that, these guys want to play, not redshirt. They do deserve a say in the matter.

Realistically, he is a four/five year player. Assuming he is good enough to go after his junior year, redshirting him will not hurt him. The question is does he really help this year and how that compares to a potential 5th year?

No, the question is, does he want to play half the year, and how that compares to being at Marquette a potential 5th year. The health of the program 4 years from now should have absolutely no bearing on
his decision.

Completely agree that at the end of the day it is/should be the kid and his family's decision - was just pointing out that it could be a largely wasted year of eligibility if it goes into mid January before he is ready for on court action/playing time. If Duane is good enough to go pro after being at MU 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 years...he'll go pro when it makes the most sense - might be nice to have a 5th year to work with if he's only marginally pleased with his draft prospects after say Year 4.
Obviously want the best for Duane.

This. Bringing Junior back that year was pointless. Not saying it will be for Duane, but a 3-month hip injury right before the season starts does not sound promising.

From what I understand, Junior didn't want to redshirt and didn't want to be in school a fifth year.
Besides, if he had taken a redshirt year and was the starting PG this season, there's the possibility that Duane would not have come to Marquette knowing that there were going to be limited minutes at the point for his first season.

I've seen "leg" - not so bad.
I've seen "hip" - could be a big problemo.
If it's hip, I question bringing him back at all. That would be January 14, if it is 12 weeks. Multiple Big East games already played. That's a tough learning curve. He won't have any bad teams to work out kinks or get used to the pace.
It'll be a good time for Todd Smith to work on his upper body strength though.
Imagine the pressure on the kid. He wants to perform, he wants to please Buzz and the fans and his family and his team... not an easy decision to redshirt.
But if it's really 12 weeks, absolutely the right one.

I just don't agree with that. I think if a player is healthy, wants to play, and Buzz thinks there is value in having him play, then he should play. I don't think in this day and age, that you trade in a half-season of contribution now for a full season of contribution four years from now.

As I recall, we also had major depth issues that year, only really going 7 deep. DJO and Buycks often had to play big because we only had 3 frontcourt players (Hayward, Butler, and Fulce) while Acker and Cooby barely got to rest (both averaged over 29 mpg). I think the hope was that Junior could take some of the load off those guys and as a 6'1" guard lessen the damage when DJO and Buycks were slotting in as 3/4 type players. Of course, Junior proved mostly ineffectual and it didn't work, but when your bench only goes 2 deep (thanks to Maymon's departure) I get why the staff was also okay with playing him.

Which brings us to the subject of Nick Noskowiak, and how he might be affected by a Duane redshirt.
I believe Nick is a junior in HS this year. He wont be on campus until 2015. DW will be a junior then, or a redshirt sophmore.

So, if Duane redshirts, Nick might be thinking; "My two years of likely starting, just turned into ONE year of likely starting." People have decommitted for less reason. Whatever decision is made, I'm certain that the coaching staff will be in contact with Nick regarding how this situation might affect him.

Or Duane might be thinking he should play now, because Nick will start over him. The one argument in not redshirting Duane is that he may be injury prone like Otule.

This is purely a case of underrating Cadougan and way overrating Duane Wilson. Look at it this way, if Cadougan was here this year he would be starting over Derrick. Duane, if he had stayed healthy, would not start over Derrick. Duane has the potential to be really good, but all of you are way overrating how good he was before the injury.
I think your way underrating him. Derrick wilson has taken like 12 shots in his MU career. Duane shot 55% from three in HS. Duane is far and away a better player than derrick wilson, and he would get more minutes than derrick from day one (may not start with Buzz's crazy habits in that regard).

Derrick Wilson averaged 19 points in high school, so high school scoring does not necessarily mean anything. There is a lot more to playing point than hitting three point shots. It also is a lot easier to make three point shots in high school, because you are not playing against the calibur of players you are in college.
My first contribution to the MUScoop rumor mill so take it or leave it, but I have heard from what I consider to be a reliable source that Duane still plans on playing the latter part of this season, barring some sort of setback in his recovery.
Not saying with 100% certainty he won't redshirt, just what I've heard
FWIW, Mark Miller has tweeted about John Dawson looking good in practice. Hopefully he will be able to use this to play his way into the rotation.
Its amazing what two words can do to a thread.

Just looked up Wes' injury in his freshman season. Injury diagnosed sometime between Dec. 29 and January 3, and returned February 1. So about 4 1/2 weeks. If Duane has a similar recovery, he would be back sometime around the Arizona State game or the Chicos Classic.
The leg was mentioned and there was some talk about his hip. Was there ever any clarification on this? Maybe his hip was sore, because he was favoring his leg.

And Sandy Cohen can play receiver.
Even if his participation in practice is somewhat limited right now, reps at this juncture means that 8-12 weeks was a very conservative estimate and that he'll be more ready to play when he does get a shot because he won't have missed dozens of practice opportunities in Kasten.
Be great if he dresses Friday, even if only to cheer and restrain overly enthusiastic teammates on the bench.

At the Blue and Gold luncheon today, Buzz said Duane will be out for quite a while though he did say Duane was visiting the Dr. today for an evaluation update ( along with Todd and Steve who should get final clearance for actual competition following their surgeries ).

Which poses another question, why are they practicing in the BC and not the Al?
Why are they practicing at the BC!? Are you serious....did you ask that? They play games at the BC. Why do you think?

so you don't think that's Davante on the far right? Someone does need an eye check.

That is most definitely not Davante.

Why not? Thats where the game is being played, right?? Have the freshmen ever seen the court & buckets there?? Just saying'....
Plus, a chance to test out the Bradley Center's side of the SportVU system.
His name is Davante. Maybe by graduation some MU fans will get it right. He does play for your team after all.

I have heard they have shootarounds at the BC on game days, but haven't heard of them doing so days before a game. The vast majority of the time they practice at Kasten gym inside the Al. I guess I should have asked is it common for the team to practice at the BC several days BEFORE a game.
Don't bother responding if you:
1) have no info, or nothing to add
2) are a complete tool
3) think Davante is in the photo above.

Actually at the Blue & Gold luncheon yesterday ( Wed. ), Buzz stated that they practiced at the BC the day before ( Tuesday ) to get a change of pace. So, MU does practice at the BC at other times ( obviously depending upon availability ).

I'm a complete tool, so I can't respond to this post.

Not until PTM draws some sweet parallel lines to prove Buzz is 6'4"
