Landry stress fracture

[Horn28Clem30]

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.

Dear god no...I still have nightmares of him being on the court!

So does that poor OU fellow who got yammed on.

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.

JH4P - You nailed it. Being in the American Conference provides us the opportunity that if we don't do as well without Landry as we had counted on in the early season, we will still have the chance, when he returns, to hopefully place high enough in the conference standings and gain an NCAA bid, even if we do not win the conference tournament.

Been told he's out surgery and it went smoothly!

First should be high enough, don't you think? I doubt that the American's regular season winner will be in the NIT.

I am not so confident about the situation. AAC put two teams in last year with 4,5 losses. If by adding ourselves to the equation, the league has a improved chance via RPI, maybe we send 3? If we drop 3 games in Maui and then drop 2 more during conference play, by this logic we could be in. But, having a conservative approach to our new conference, I don't suspect we will only lose two games in conference play. I'd be thrilled though. If we let Landry heal slowly, to improve his abilities in March (aka not FVV), then we could lose a few in Maui (when he might not play). That puts added pressure to do better in our new league.

For my bottom line, I just want Landry to be 100% in March. I see the pressure to do well in Maui as a potential threat to a 100% Landry in March. Coach might let him play and get hurt again. I don't want to miss the potential for FVV 2.0's 2nd year.

[ShockerPrez]

I think this team is vastly more capable of winning without Shamet, than that team was without FVV.

In other words FVV was much more vital than Landry.

Not taking anything away from Landry, but this team has more talent overall and FVV was the heart and soul.

There's a huge difference in healing a bone and healing a hamstring. Once bone is mended around the injured parts, the injury is over. The area is stronger than it was before. The main concern is muscle atrophy during a period of little use.

Hamstring injuries are known for long healing periods and for their tendency to be lingering injuries. If you go too early on a hamstring, you set yourself back weeks. The only way to tell if a hamstring has recovered is to ask the person with the injury. Fred tried to play through the injury when he was still hurting, but wouldn't admit it.

With a broken bone, doctors look at x-rays and tell the player and the coaching staff when the player is able to resume normal activity. It's a visible thing. The bone is either mended or it isn't.

Shamet has been through this before and he knows how to rehab it and how to stay in condition while he has limited use of the foot.

BTW, losing 3 in Maui is one of the least knowledgeable posts this board has seen in some time. I would call it stupid, but you might think I was calling you stupid, and I would never do that because that could get me banned.

If Shamet is either out of action or not at 100% and this team can't rally behind him and take 2 in Maui without him at 100%, then they REALLY won't like the practices following Maui. I'm not a proponent of Frankamp playing PG, but I'm convinced we can go 2-1 in Maui without Shamet. Frankamp can lead the team to that result.

Least knowledgeable.

There is risk of re-injury in some 5th metatarsal fx's. The risk for re-injury is variable with proximal or distal injury locations, as well as disallowing proper healing. Pain is experienced a year after this type of fx. Damage to the ligaments, synovial joints, muscles, blood supply, and nerves are all factors in a persons ability to ball out like he all hope.

The increased amount of healing time for this injury suggests it may have been a Jones fx, which is far more severe. The possibility of re-injury is higher in this fx.

You may be right. However, it is my view that this team is dependent on the post and 3 ball without Landry. This team lacks guards who are confident and skilled enough for rack attacks. That is why it important for our bigs to be magnificent. Without them, we are a live by the three team. The post and three combo worked well for us last yr. But we needed Landry to drive to the rim in March. It's his play that give this team an extra dimension. Never-the-less, you may be right for non-con. But by the time conference play roles around, we are going to need a true PG to be dominant in the AAC.

Don't know what you said but you said it with a great deal of confidence in what you were talking about. I just hope he mends and is able to keep some degree of game shape.

I think he just googled something. Mini-hawk makes KC Shox look like an eternal optimist.

Next time just stay in your lane. Don't say things you know nothing about.

[ShockdaWorld]

I vaguely remember someone saying they had taken on a "troll" persona (and name) just to make one statement. Oh how I wish that had actually been the case.

[lmor1971]

We are not a one man team. This team is 10 deep.
