Yous MIA, again

[94Warrior]

This is becoming a concern.  Don't you think?

[Ron Paul]

Has he traveled since the injury?

[Chili]

Has he traveled since the injury?

he has not.

[DavantesInferno]

Has he traveled since the injury?

My guess would be that maybe it's not worth missing the classes to travel with the team.  Who knows though?

[PGsHeroes32]

who cares? Hes 0 assest to the team anyways

Otule is traveling though, and Buzz has said he's a redshirt.

Otule also got ahead by taking winter interim classes.

I think it definitely is a concern and something is up. Doesn't pass the smell test. Didn't want to be the first to say it, but now that it's out in the open, this is not normal injury behavior. I, for one, will be very much surprised if Yous is back next season. Buzz continues to recruit.

Especially since he only has a sprained knee.  It would be one thing if he had trouble getting around and needed a lot of rest after a serious injury, but that's just not the case.

Just about to post the same thing.  I always check out the bench during TOs when I get a chance, and I have not seen Yous there in a while.  Maybe we'll know something once the season is over and the signing period begins.

[Boone]

He hasn't even made a weekend road game.

[MarquetteFan94]

FWIW, he was on the bench for the Pitt game last week....does seem strange that he has not traveled at all though.

[4everwarriors]

Can anyone actually verify that he is indeed injured?

For christ sakes. 

Yes he is injured.  He was on crutches at one point right after the injury and still wears a brace.  Additionally he messed up either his hand or wrist right before sustaining the knee injury.

[4everwarriors]

Take a chill pill. These are legit questions. Do you not agree that his absence is quite odd. Is it inconceivable that a decision has already been made on him? Do you think he's a team member next season? Buzz showed obvious frustration with his progress and never publically discusses him. Why does Buzz continue to overrecruit?

Since he looked like he was completely clueless when he did play i don't think it is a loss. If we want someone over 7 foot on the team who looks like they never played basketball we could just as easily put out an ad in the paper for the tallest person in the city of milwaukee and have them as a walk-on. It would save a scholarship. That is how useless he is.

Hasn't he said he continues to recruit because he feels it is necessary to never stop recruiting?  You never know what will happen between now and the start of next season, so might as well take a proactive approach.

Aren't we being just a little hard on a guy that has only played half a season of College basketball?  How effective was Thabeet his freshman year?

[tower912]

As stated earlier, he was on the bench, in a uni for the Pitt game.   This does not spike my worry meter, for several reasons.

Asking where he was last night is a legit question.  Your implication that the injury was fake is not.

And no, I don't agree his absence is odd.  If he were not around when they play at home, then it would be odd.  But he's still at the home games and still with the team, just not able to travel.

I never read "fake", even between the lines.

You must have missed this post then:

[MUBurrow]

i think its a little odd just in the sense that Yous is a guy who needs to be around college basketball as much as possible.

[chapman]

How effective was Thabeet his freshman year?

6.2 points, 6.4 rebounds, 3.8 blocks in 24.6 minutes effective.

After much thought, I can understand not being able to make road games.  It's a lot of travel, especiall the 3 road games in 7 days.  Plus what is Yous going to do when the team flies out there?  He'll miss some film and some walk throughs...that's about it.  Sure watching film is important to do and I'm not dismissing it, but school is more important.
