Jayce Johnson Knee Sprain

[Jay Bee]

Only question is 'can he tough it out on the bench until the end of this game, or must they operate immediately??'

Does Wojo have a post game presser for exhibition games?  We could have answers within the hour.

Yes. But he's going to play mind-games with 94 warrior

I'm guessing it's somewhere in between. But him walking doesn't rule out what 94 thinks happened. Most people can walk after a torn ACL.

If it's what they say (knee sprain) it could be a multiple week recovery. But he could be walking gingerly just because the knee brace is uncomfortable or restricted.

Nobody knows.

Watching him from the upper deck get up and walk to the team huddle each timeout, I think it's pretty obvious they are going to have to amputate.

But will he still be able to play?

If Otule could play with one eye, why not one leg?

Greg just limped off. Looks to be fatal.

RIP.

RIP.

I have first hand information that they had to put him down. It's a real bummer.

[Jay Bee]

Cheerleader just threw his amputated leg into the crowd. Someone in row three got a great souvenir.

I don't think he's out for the year, just until April.

So does this mean Jayce can take a redshirt and be eligible for next year?

By rule no. But by waiver and/or future rule, yes and be paid $1,000,000 for doing so.

I'll look for that on E-Bay.

Wojo just said Jayce is defintely going to miss some time........mentioned weeks.....doesn't sound season ending but wasn't just sitting out a meaningless exhibition game

Yep, it'll be awhile for sure.  That wasn't anything akin to 'no biggie'.  There goes the 2 bigs approach in the interim.

[Cheeks]

Agreed.  He is not moving well.  I will be very surprised if this is not a season-ending injury.  He looked very solid in the Open Practices.  Huge blow to the season if it is as bad as it appears.

Can we wait for some info....

[muguru]

2-4 weeks is what it says online, that's typical recovery...so maybe back by Orlando??

[Bad_Reporter]

Well Wojo now has an excuse if he doesn't meet expectations again this year.

I guess he can't go to the podium and spit out "we've played Xavier and Villanova twice, we have the youngest roster in the big east, etc, etc." but he can use Jayce as a crutch if needed

Very cool.

Certainly sounds like no fans want to see Wojo losing to me! Just different ways of being equally good Marquette basketball fans here. Nothing wrong with some productive critiquing!

Hey Jesse, you still liking the posts of 18-22 year old college students on Instagram and claiming Marquette requires their basketball players to do community service so they can take videos of it and put them out on social media so that when they get blasted by Indiana the alums can still feel happy that they're flying private to do so?

Go Marquette buddy! I'm guessing those tickets from MU player families from all your networking are going to be flying in with posts like these!

Sure got quite around here after Wojo's interview.  I hate being right...

But it wasn't a torn ACL like you were surmising. It's a sprain, he will miss SOME time, but he WILL be back

You wanna go ahead and define "right"

I will be very surprised if this is not a season-ending injury.

"He's going to be week to week," MU head coach Steve Wojciechowski said. "There's no definitive timetable for his return. Obviously, for us, we're hoping for sooner rather than later."

Not exactly the torn ACL that we were told by someone who didn't see the injury, hasn't seen Jayce's knee, hasn't seen scans of Jayce's knee, and made a diagnosis based on observations of how he was walking while he had a large brace on (that he presumably isn't very comfortable with since he's only had it for about 24 hours).  Oh, and the credentials of this "knee expert" are that he's had knee injuries before. 

Seriously guys.  I get that everyone is an "internet expert", but can we once just trust that the coaching/medical staff know what they're doing and not make judgments before something official is made public.
