Scholarship table
By the way, this REEKS of desperation.
Only by people with an agenda. The only way he is cleared to play is if the doctors say he is cleared to play. It's quite simple.Doctors and the university are not going to clear him if the knee isn't ready. The knee is ready, the doctors have cleared him. They've decided to let him play. That's a MEDICAL clearance, not a coaching clearance. Yes, Crean could say no, he's still not going to play. But the point is if he were to get hurt, then that injury is not a result of "rushing him back" or whatever some are suggesting....he's either cleared to play or he isn't...by qualified medical staff.Good luck to Trevor, glad to see he has healed to the point the doctors are good to go with him playing.
What's next - is Wade coming back to use up his remaining years of eligibility?
I don't think TC cares too much about public opinion...

But, I don't agree with this decision. Does that make me a Crean hater??? Even though he was medically cleared, any future problems with his knee, whether or not caused by action this season, will IMO be blamed on this decision ... Right or wrong. I believe Trevor will help, but how much?? Remember we are talking about a true freshman, who has yet to play one minute of college basketball. I understand he wanted to play, but was this decision in his best interest (health reasons aside). You only get four years to play.

You only get four years to play.A healthly Mbakwe hopefully means Burke and Blackledge don't have to step foot on the court. That's enough help for my liking.
Sooooooo true!
Today is the greatest day of my life!
Guys, let's stop the ripping on Burke and others....these guys are student athetes busting their asses. Burke was a monster against Wisconsin, and quite frankly he earned his scholarship this year on that performance alone for me. Barro has been up and down, but at times terrific. Trend is raw, but a spark.
Tom Crean is not exactly the "Oh what the hell" type.
