LAST YEAR'S NEWS: Ron Baker out with stress fracture for at least 6 weeks

[Jeffrey Korchek]

I hope no one is questioning GM's practice style. He's been on record that they practice so hard, games are actually a reprieve. He's probably had the same type of mindset with the team's practice since he's got here or for his entire coaching career for that matter. It hasn't hit us hard before, it just so happens things have not gone well of late for some of the young gentleman. Just shrug your shoulders and hope for the best.

Yep. We were basically injury-free last year. And haven't had many problems before that. There's pretty much no way Marshall's practices were that much easier last year. It's just cruddy luck for these kids.

Unbelievable...

For the backups, it's time to STEP UP, or shut up.





Excuse me one second..

Here, here! I know the boyz have bought into GM's system of team first and playing a lot of guys, but you know some of the players of the 'second group' were chomping at the bit to get more PT. Welp, here's their chance to show everybody what they got. Will these guys carpe' diem? I certainly hope so, you wanted your shot, now you got it. Let's see you do it!

P.S. I will be holding my breath :)

Shox will win Thursday!

So how many players have had one kind of injury or another since the basketball season started?

1. Didn't White have some kind of injury before the season started?
2. Williams was recovering from ankle or foot surgery at the start of the season.
3. Early had a slight ankle sprain but played through it.
4. Orukpe has the ankle sprain he's still recovering from.
5. Cotton has some kind of bruise (ankle or foot?) that he is playing through.
6. Now Hall has the thumb break.
7. Baker has the stress fracture.

Is there anyone else?

[CBB_Fan]

Wessel.

Oh hellz no. It's not worth it.

[C0|dB|00ded]

Oh hellz no. It's not worth it.

If it means the difference in making the NCAA tournament again or not it sure as shite is worth it. We need to be going to that tournament EVERY year.

There's so many, it's hard to keep track of them all. Two others were VanVleet and CJ as mentioned in the 2012-2013 Injury Report thread.

I don't know about Jake, but Fred had a bad ankle that cut down on his pre-season practice time and CJ had a dislocated shoulder I believe.

[DwShock]

This is just terrible news.

[Kung Wu]

Will these guys carpe' diem?

Being younger, I assume they crap daily, but who knows?

[1979Shocker]

Do the remaining players know something? Suellentrop seemed to be throwing out a code word in the article about Ron Baker.

The remaining healthy Shockers say they won’t let the injuries derail a great start.
