Auburn's Broome nothing serious

Glad to see it. Really respect Broome despite him playing for Auburn
Gonna be a tough week without him. (If he's out this week) Miss State and then at Georgia.
I think he will be out a while still. Those bad sprains can be quite painful and he won’t want to re-injure again quickly. They can be fickle.
Everytime I see an ankle turn I wince. I've sprained both ankles so many times playing ball back in the day. They still bother me if it's cold out. Good to read Broome doesn't need surgery.
Just because it doesn't require surgery does not mean it isn't serious. A bad ankle sprain can be a 4-6 week issue.
When we play them we need to go after the ankle, slid a foot under his jumper and take our chances
Unless you're Jeff freaking Sheppard !
I agree with you 100%. There is no way for ankle to be turned like that by someone his size and not be serious. Just because it doesn't require surgery, doesn't mean it isn't serious.
And just think , Cal did not recruit this kid to the detriment of our program. Mitch should have fired him years ago for dereliction of duty.
Not really the correct statement…..Anyone who saw that ankle roll knows this is still “very serious” for Broome and Auburn. Sometimes a slight break and surgery can be easier to heal from than a sprain as severe as this one appeared to be. I’d bet he’s out a minimum of 3-4 weeks and even when he comes back, he won’t be nearly the same players he’s been this year. That ankle is going to be tender, weak and an issue for him the rest of this year.
Seems like every teams schedule is gonna be brutal honestly, Arkansas seems to have gotten a relatively good draw overall at least upcoming. Everyone will have a stretch of 7-8 games that are brutal in this league.
For sure, sometimes they can be even worse because with surgery you have a general timeframe of being ready. With these it could last and last, be ok but still weak and get hurt again. Maybe it gets hurt worse. Ya never know. If it tore ligaments or something ugh.
I have bad ankles too. Same exact problem.
.. well except mine were from drunken spills on icy sidewalks over the course of sophomore year in college. But we can just say it was from basketball..

Well in all honesty we took Oscar.
I know! I had some bad ankle sprains just from playing different games as a kid like little league, football, kickball, tennis I tried everything. Once you sprain the same ankle a couple times it isn’t quite right for a long while. It hurts like hell too.
Yeah, just saw who we have next Saturday. They will put us going undefeated at Rupp to the test.
5 game stretch with 4 teams in the top 14, and the other team is 14-2. Ouch.
And he and Broome could have played together but Cal didn’t know how to coach that and he wanted to get Oscar to the pros so he lets Broome go. He was just a blithering idiot.
I'm not sure what grabbed attention but it looked like a high ankle sprain. He may be back in a week, he may be back in 6 weeks or more.
I saw the replay and it looked nasty. I've broken my ankle before and that was my first thought.
Dude is a baller. Hope he's ok.
But we've all seen this before. Now a backup will get even more experience while Broome heals up. Even if it's a minimal gain, this will just make Auburn better. Ugh.

If it required an MRI and not surgery, I’m betting it was grade 2. What people fail to understand is fractures recover better than severe sprains without surgery. As ligaments elongate they become more prone to rolling, even if over training supporting muscles.
It’s why a fracture or break can be better than a grade 3 sprain.
Broome with recovery and return to conditioning, I’m calling 4-6 weeks, with 6 being likely. Just my opinion from the field.
We’ll know in the next week when it comes up, Pearl will provide an update that shines a light on the outset.
