Might turn the tide in favor of Arkansas Pine Bluff now.

Another young, healthy person struggling to shake this virus.

Get well soon, Dex!

Hoping it’s not the heart complication that some are seeing. Hoping he’s able to recover quickly.

Or lung capacity issues. People don't understand that it is not only about deaths. Lots of issues with people who recover.

It took Kendrick Nunn 2.5 weeks to get a negative test, and then months to get back to game speed with the Heat. It was wild.

One of the under-told parts of this effen virus. Many "survivors" suffer for months and months and months. Here's hoping Dex recovers fully and quickly.

Sucks.  Was honestly the guy I was most excited to see after Carton.

Any updates on Dex’s status?  Hoping he gets cleared soon and can start getting a few minutes.

Good to see he is feeling well enough to get on the court. I assume this means he has passed any cardiac screening that's required....

He's been out for four weeks right? I can't imagine during two massive games like these next two we see much of him. But hopefully he's able to see the court the following week
Title: Re: Akanno out for opener
Post by: tower912 on November 29, 2020, 03:10:19 PM
I can't imagine him having the wind or legs to play at game speeds for more than a couple of minutes at a time.   
Title: Re: Akanno out for opener
Post by: GooooMarquette on November 29, 2020, 03:27:07 PM
Agreed. If he is just now getting involved in scrimmages after what apparently was a tough battle with Covid, we probably won't see him in any significant game action for at least a week or two.

Still thrilled to see progress.

Don't need him this week.

Just glad to see him back. Hopefully he can get some good run vs GB and be ready for the conference stretch(which hopefully includes a bubble).

BTW, that little video showed how walk ons helps the team.    The offense is walk ons.   They are getting shots up.    4 scholarship defenders practicing their footwork, rotations, close outs, and rebounding.   At the end, it looks like a fresh 4 defenders are getting ready to come out while the walk ons remain.

Also notice how the scout team wears the number of the other teams players.

Thanks for Heralding, the Unheralded, always nice to be noticed.

No, but I try to notice some/all the supporting cast from most endeavors, I m interested in following.  Meet some nice people.  Thanks for asking.

I certainly don't know - and maybe you've heard more than me - but we really don't know why he was out so long.  Could have even been asymptomatic but still showing positive on tests.  In which case he could have still been working out in isolation -just no team activities.

He was in videos of practice and scrimmage maskless with teammates. My guess is if he was still showing positive,  that wouldn't have been allowed.

Maybe he just flashed this bad boy:
