Crap!  How the heck does someone rupture an achilles tendon during a conditioning session.

Obviously, this is what that one poster (g0lden3agle) was overhearing that he thought was related to DJO.

Damn!

Cadougan likely out for season
               

A turbulent off-season for the Marquette Golden Eagles became even bumpier Thursday, when it was learned freshman guard Junior Cadougan suffered a ruptured right Achilles’ tendon during a conditioning session and will likely be lost for the season.

The 6-foot-1, 205-pound Toronto native will undergo surgery next week and will need anywhere from four to six months to recover.

“We all know injuries are a part of sports,” coach Buzz Williams said.  “As a program, we are all hurt and disappointed for Junior. He will receive the absolute best care possible prior to, during, and after his surgery.  Even though he will not be in uniform this year, he will still be a valuable member of our team this season.”

Unreal.  This really hurts.  Gotta feel for the kid.  A medical redshirt and keep him here for 5 years and hopefully our team in 2-3 years is ridiculous.  

StillAWarrior - DJO is out for a month with partial tear of achilles.

Well the news around here keeps getting better. I hope that we start to hear some good news maybe related to our recruiting because otherwise I am going to go into depression mode.

No, I'm pretty sure that is not right.  DJO's injury has nothing to do with his achilles -- it's a tendon on the side near his ankle.  The references to the achilles were not correct (and looking at the thread may well have resulted from confusion because g0lden3agle's friend heard players talking about someone on the team -- presumably Junior -- having surgery on his achilles).

[esotericmindguy]

This seems all to coincidental, is it time for Buzz to look at his off season conditioning program? 

[ecompt]

This kills us. Unfreakingbelievable.

[g0lden3agle]

Right to clear this all up, I saw DJO with a boot on sometime Wednesday morning, then yesterday a friend saw a player with a boot on talking about having to have achilles surgery, so I assumed it had to be DJO because how many booted players could there be on one team in a 2 day window? Apparently that's not a safe assumption to make.

This is unfortunate news, will Cadougan be able to come back from this strong next year?

Achilles tendon injuries tend to be freaky. I had a girlfriend rupture hers just walking down a sidewalk.

Freshman Junior Cadougan Suffers Achilles Injury
         

Freshman Junior Cadougan of the Marquette University men's basketball team suffered an injury to his achilles tendon Thursday afternoon during conditioning and will more than likely miss the entire 2009-10 campaign, head coach Buzz Williams announced Friday morning.

This is bad, lets just hope that Cubillan is healthy and can return to the player he was the first year he was at Marquette, especially with the latest news we are going to need him.

Let's hope the DJO and Junior get healthy, and that Junior will be ready to suit up next year.

[MUfan12]

Really tough news for Junior. Especially after he did all that work to get into shape.

I still don't think it kills us. Certainly hurts, but MU will be very reliant on Acker and Cubillan to give good minutes now. Absolutely need DJO to recover fully. That would be the killer blow.

looks like I picked a bad week to quit sniffin' glue.

Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit amphetamines

down to three guards? 12th place is looking good.

[AlumKCof93]

This is just unbelievable.  There seems to be a major development on this team every week!! When does it end?

[nyg]

Good grief, every year somone gets seriously injured.  What is going on here????
How many players are left and we don't know if DJO will heal, Fulce will heal, Otule healed, and whoever else may take a chance of playing for MU.  

What an insane month this has been.    

[MarquetteDano]

This really sucks.  Originally, I thought the NIT would be a very fair and doable goal for this team.  Now, I think the NIT would be a heck of an accomplishment.

cue the MUScoop Rush to Jump of the Cliff tm.

[gjreda]

By no means am I blaming anyone or jumping off a cliff, but at what point do you start to assess the conditioning program and trainers?

I know these are 19-21 year old kids, but with the frequency at which all these injuries seem to happen, you have to think there could be an effect.

[Kramerica]

The thought of Mo Acker playing 30 minutes a game at point just caused me to throw up in my mouth a little bit.  Its going to be an ugly season.

+1. I know injuries are a part of any sport and we may just be running into a stretch where we've had some bad luck with them but if this trend continues, there has to be something that can be done.  I'm not in the medical field nor to I pretend to know much about it other than what the average athlete knows so if anyone who may be more knowledgeable could shed some light on things that could be done to alleviate all of the injuries we seem to be picking up in training, it would be much appreciated.

[jficke13]

some of the injuries *have* to be considered flukes. Otule had someone land on his foot and that caused the fracture. There's nothing you can do to avoid that kind of thing.
