Any word on Briscoe?

Considering he supposedly 'could have gone' in the UL game, I assume he's back to practice this week. It would be nice to have confirmation.
 
Cal said on his radio show that he did not practice Mon.
Since this is camp Cal week Cal was saying they would possibly have 3 practices on Monday.
 
I thought I heard some place that Cal was going to keep him off of it for 3 days. One thing about Cal is that players always come first so I wouldn't be surprised.
 
Briscoe was a 72% free throw shooter in high school. Anyone can see he is too amped up when he plays. This is a hazard of depending on freshmen. Once he relaxes a little bit, his free throw shooting will improve. He will never be Kyle Macy, but he can hit better than 60%.
 
Can he shoot free throws while down?

Yes?

Good. Because he couldn't shoot them while up.

Yes, maybe he can shoot 1,000 FTs a day while rehabbing. Seriously, hope he is recovering. We need him.
 
The real question is, Who is next to miss a game? That's 4 players now who have missed an entire game. I wonder if we'll make it once around the roster before February.
 
So, the responses demonstrate that no one yet knows his current status. He was held out of practice according to Cal for several days.

If the ankle injury slows him down just a touch, I think he would be a better player. Speed is great but the best players are able to alternate their speed, and the idea is you can be quick without being fast and rushing. He tends to rush and sometimes out of control. However, on defense if his lateral quickness is effected he won't be as good.
 
Time for Matthews to step it up for a game or two then. And stay out of dinky foul trouble at the same time.
 
I personally think we drum Ole Miss at home with or without Briscoe.

Would be nice to have his services on the road at LSU next Tuesday however...

Cal wont rush him back regardless but given the schedule I wouldn't be surprised to not see him Sat.
 
I was sure hoping he'd get a dose of Camp Cal (Our own version of CC...) yuck...just thought about it...
