Landry stress fracture

[UCONN_Husky]

Hoping for a full and speedy recovery. UCONN's victories over WSU this season won't be as sweet without Landry playing in those games! :playful:

my memory fails me as to why Bowman could not play second semester. Even so, the Shocks regrouped with several local and in state players such as Jamie Thompson, Kelly Pete, and Dave Leach with the awesome coaching of Ralph Miller and fought their way to the Final 4 which was an amazing feat. Just think if Stallworth and Bowman could have played?

Nate became academically ineligible in January 1965, thus he was dismissed from the team by new Head Basketball Coach Gary Thompson.

I have often thought the outcome would have been different if Ralph was coaching with Dave and Nate playing!

Don't give up your sugar rations waiting/anticipating UCONN victories over the Shockers this season.

...more like your shamefaced expression when we beat you without him were he not to play!!!

From my perspective (of actually watching AR play) he slashes with confidence, and shots the rock well. That is when he is at his best, IMO. I don't mean to diss his passing abilities. I just think, with his profile, he is a 2.



I don't want to debate about AR. We all have different perspectives, mine being very critical of course. I don't want to ruin the AR hype this forum has. Personally, after watching him last season, his greatest strength for me is his confidence. I specifically recall a play where he drove straight to the hoop and (IIRC) reversed with the left. I thought he was lucky to get the bucket, but it showed me he will drive. Being that ZB, MM, CF are timid at the paint, I was impressed with AR's confidence. That being said, I stand by my thoughts on his impatience, and his ball handling. I will look forward to seeing how Gregg Marshall handles the new rotation possibility. I just sincerely hope that HCGM doesn't let Shamet get too excited and play him when he isn't ready.

I am still very bitter about watching a gimpy FVV in march, knowing that he didn't need to play in the early season. I know that Angel was absolutely unstoppable and made for quite the PG duel, but I still believe we could have beaten Miami with FVV at 100%.

Honestly speaking, the whole team looked a little lethargic. But as proverbial small victories go, double digit wins over the Commodores and Wildcats made it a pretty decent March, when looking back with 20/20.

If this team can win 2 games, at least, by double digits, and one of them isn't a play-in game (meaning advance to a sweet 16), it will have met traditional standards under GGG.

This is where this team might miss Daishon Smith.

A guy who can come in, check 94 feet, heat-up ball-handlers, and just create havoc on the court. He would've had a breakout second year with 3G.

The ONLY bright spot I can see out of this whole situation is that LS will get to spend some more time sculpting his physique and adding on some quality muscle mass with SCKR. The extra time spent with SCKR and the nutrition staff will no doubt make sure that LS's body can hold up to the riggers of an AAC conference schedule.

If he gets the tag of being fragile, he stays here an extra year, maybe.

that's just like what the bearcats guy said.

Nah. There's no traditional standards. You judge each year by what we have. FVV and Baker were the best guards in the country. We could have been in the final four if FVV wasn't hurt. As for this year, rankings and predictions say we should be a least a top six team. Elite eight? . But the great part about this year is we actually can prove ourselves in the regular season. We don't have to hold or breath for validation in March. We just have to play our schedule.

[ShockingButTrue]

No standards? Cuttin' down nets and getting fitted for rings?

With questions now surrounding Maui, how awesome is it to have the AAC schedule in January and February?!?! Quality opportunities throughout the WHOLE year, not just in November.

[Cdizzle]

Crap on a cracker.

[60Shock]

Wishing Landry a full recovery and am leaving out the adjective, speedy. He has a tremendous attitude and will come when HE is ready.

We agree. Strange world. Well, I guess we did agree on Dana too (he's pretty likable after all). :playful:

It'll be a pleasure to not have to listen to idiots say "Yeah, but we just don't know how good they are." Or, our personal favorite "Enjoy it now, because when Cleanthony is gone you guys will suck!"
