Duane out with stress fracture

[Dawson Rental]

I'm sure we have a warehouse full of walking boots.

Every player gets one at the start of practice along with a jock strap.

[Dawson Rental]

We Are Marquette.

Over and over again, apparently.

Thought somethin' was up when Derrick was anointed the startin' point.

Duane Wilson says he will probably be out 8-12 weeks with a stress fracture in his left leg #mubb

unnatural carnal knowledge. If remotely near the actual time frame, this hurts. If not near the actual time frame, this hurts.

Wow. 8-12. That's way more than 2.

WHOA!!!  LENNY"S GOT A BIG BRAIN!!!

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.

[MU82]

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.

Dwyane Wade wears his Indiana jockstrap for every Heat game

I must be confused. I thought it was the other way around... that TC swiped Dwyane's after Heat games

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.

[MUHoopsFan2]

Like I told you before when we were going over the starting lineups....

start Todd Mayo.



It's done. That simple.

Get well Duane, we will need you.

I hope I see Todd smile like OX this year.

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?

TC still has Wade's jock parked in his garage after he rode it all the way to Bloomington.

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.
