Dexter Breakout Against VCU?

[Arizona Shocker]

Dex will be back better than ever. Merry Christmas!

[ShockerFever]

It appears we won't see him during the winter break. It's all going to boil down if he comes back to start the spring semester on the 26th it appears.

You're not the sharpest knife in the drawer, are you?

[shock-it-to-me]

Can you imagine if he does come back and has a breakout game, exercising the personal and basketball demons in one fell swoop? That would be an amazing story line.

We won't see him again.

We won't see him again.

All of his social media accounts are retweeting/posting the various comments of love and support for him from Shocker fans ... he will be back.

Why?

Yah, doesn't seem like he's just shutting things down, never to be seen or heard from again.

This is a little bit bigger than the team at this point. Dexter obviously needs some help somewhere and with something. Getting that for him is the most important part.

Absolutely. So glad you said that. And even though we all love shocker basketball, there are things that go into a person life that involves more than basketball. Give DD time to figure out what he needs to do for him. Merry Christmas and Happy holidays to all of you. Go Shocks.

Yup.. give him time and don't rush him back. This team is showing they have the pieces to allow their teammates time to get healthy.

Could this "personal issue" affect his game lately?

Dexter’s issues are either mental or family, whatever it is, he needs some time off to decompress. I really believe he’ll be back and fully recharged after Christmas.

Sorry, I am out of the loop. Can someone fill me in? I was out tearing up the Alaska Mountain Range (east of Denali) on a snowmachine all day.

I think Dex will be back, we need him back he’s an important piece to this team. I just hope he realizes that. I’m sure the slump has weighed on him and perhaps there’s a few things he needs to sort out. Sounds like the coach and team have his back along with us fans. I just hope Dex understands that and comes back to help this team to the best of his abilities, that’s all anyone really wants.

Who knows, but that's certainly a plausible guess. Plenty of players before him have had issues off the court that affected their play on it.

Hope he gets past it -- he can be a great asset to WSU when he's on his game, and however well the Shocks are playing now without much or any contribution from him, they'd be that much deeper with him. Once the schedule picks up, that extra depth and the minutes it would save some of WSU's main guys could be very beneficial.
