[tj_walker]

Although he may not participate in basketball activities for another two weeks. Plenty of time until November.

He will probably be fine, but Cal saying that doesn't mean much, to me. He's never going to act like a kid has an injury that might cost him his draft status, he's all about protecting the athlete. He's going to say everything is fine if or until there is a time when he absolutely has to say something different.

 

[Canned Heat]

Must have been one bad injury for him to still not be playing. Assume a broken foot maybe?

 

[kornucopia]

 

[Orange Soda King]

How long will he be in a wheelchair and body cast?

If it was a severe sprain, you might want to let it heal for a good while before going on it again, more likely to reinjure. I'd think most fractures would have been fully healed by now.

 

[BlueBomb]

Cal: "He's going to be fine. Don't worry, fans."

Pitino: "He's out indefinitely. Bad, bad injury." (Of course, he's back in time for the Kentucky game)

 

[Cardsstink]

I don't think Vando would have been so upbeat to get on Campus if it was anything that might threaten him playing this season or even missing one game. There's lots to worry about in life, but this sure isn't on the list.

They will need him out of his medically induced coma first. It's probably best that he just sit out the season and test the waters with the NBA Draft next spring.

 

[GonzoCat90]

How long will he be in a wheelchair and body cast?

Once the foot and leg transplants take hold it should be between 10-12 weeks.

I've got my money on Lisfrank injury. Is there a pool I can get into anywhere?

 

[LineSkiCat14]

Keep him out as long as needed. No sense rushing back and turning this into a nagging injury.

Some of you people are just never satisfied. Cal makes a statement about the injury status of one of his players and you take it and run the other way with it. Has Cal ever LIED about an injury regarding any of his players at UK? It amazes me how some people can function on a daily basis when they look at life through a negative lens. Losers.

just until he comes out his coma.

 

[Kybluedude]

Well l worry. This injury has already cost him height. He has gone from 6 8 to 6 5. If he stays out 2 more weeks he's a 6 foot pf.

 

[DerekMcPwn]

Agreed. We're loaded at his position. No need to use him stupidly.

I would be shocked if it is that given the play on which he was injured. Doesn't fit the mechanism

It is "Lisfranc" and that would be pretty low on my list

 

[Chuckinden]

Vanderbilt getting used to leg.

 

[caneintally]

Never was concerned once JV said he would be fine .

 

[Wall2Boogie]

Man I'm afraid to even have him celebrate with the team after a win. He might get a dislocated hand from all the high fives. I remember when we had jason Parker which was the beginning of the end of all amercans at uk for tubby. The guy slips and fell in the locker room and was out the whole year. I would like to know which Wendy's he's working at now

Lol, I was going for the longshot in the pool. Thank you for helping lengthen my odds. I owe you one.

Bad sprains are worse than breaks, in recovery time.

Lisa Frank is an icon, and I would be very upset if JV injured her.

Steve Austin was from Ky! UK let him slip away to Hollywood. Can you imagine how good he would have been as a small forward with his tools!

When did he get out of the iron lung?

 

[T-Bickle]

When did he get out of the iron lung?

Forced out by NCAA. Called breathing an "extra benefit".

 

[UKrazycat2]

Vanderbilt getting used to leg.

Heard he gained several inches on his vertical, but just on one side. Having trouble at the moment going straight up. Gonna take some getting used to the bionic side.

 

[_Rooster]

No problem, just hop with more heart,

 

[UKrazycat2]

She's still faster and has more vertical than me or Dakari.

I think Cal is hiding information to protect Vanderbilt's draft stock.

I have it on good authority that the kid won't be able to walk for another 8 to 10 months. Here's a photo of the kid from last week. I'm not sure Cal will be very happy once he knows this has been leaked...

At least the young man's eating well.

Um, sorry Miss, but that was a foot fault, please try harder next time. You will be assessed no points.

Has a bed next to Chris Jones. Prayers for their recovery.

If Jones doesn't recovery, will they charge Dakari with murder?
Prayers for both.

 

[78Gooses]

Thanks for showing me a one-legged girl that would beat me in an asskicking contest. Just made my day. Lol (kinda)

I'm not bashing Cal, I'm simply chalking it up to coach speak and the fact that Cal always has his players best interest in mind (which is good thing). He's a salesman, plain and simple. Just like he's running around saying Bam will be drafted between 9 & 26, the only person who is saying he has a chance of going that high.

You can never have too many bionically enhanced shooters.

Some say Chris Jones's teeth are still flying today.
