Jaxon News?

He played pretty well the other night. Bring him in the second half when everyone is gassed
I'm glad they're sitting Robinson. LSU is the only "must-win" game left, and that's only if you want to maintain the 3 seed line.
We're probably a 5 seed at worst, and a 4 seed is probable if we lose to both Auburn/Missouri.
I just want a healthy roster going into March.

The days of playing through nagging injuries is over unless your tough like Butler. Not a lot of tough ones left in the game.
Unfortunately I will have to agree that JR is not hard nosed physically or mentally, and sometimes that mental part is far harder to struggle through. Practice injuries happen all the time and sometimes those come connected with words like knee, ankle, shoulder, surgery, and season ending. Comparing Robinsons injury to Kerr, Andrew or LB is kinda a normal thing for fans to do but it's both pointless and inaccurate.
Best thing I can say is wish that hadn't happened, heal soon and hope he can be back sometime in this season.

Carr has played through nagging injury this year. While that snake Sharpe was sitting out healthy, we had Tyty and Grady playing through nagging injury. Jaxson has an injured shooting wrist and he's not particularly valuable aside from his shooting/scoring. He had some wild shots in that game and he probably had some swelling happening, I'd have to guess, if they shut him down and half and are keeping him out. Where do you get off sitting on your sofa and questioning players' toughness?
You can see injury status for all teams here ... some schools have a large number of players out, like Kansas/Bama, fwiw.
Interesting stuff !!

That would be tough news. Sooner or later decisions have to be made about effectiveness and really the future of JR. Seeing an out of state specialist for a fourth opinion is kinda telling. Atlanta maybe?
I just gotta say, you have no idea what his injury even is, and you don’t know him personally at all, so where the hell do you get off saying he isn’t hard nosed physically or mentally? If the rumors are true and doctors are recommending surgery, then he was hard nosed to even try to play against Oklahoma.
Respectfully, you need to watch your mouth when talking about people you don’t know at all.
Not a surprise. People on here questioning a players toughness are silly to me though. We don't know the pain the guy is in.
I agree with the other poster that our ceiling is obviously lower without him n ncaa. This always felt like a sweet 16 type team to me anyways. If they achieve that without JR, kudos.
I really wish we had gotten Jasper Johnson to reclassify. He would have given us great depth and also given him a chance to gain some valuable experience.
*insert picture of overweight 50 year old telling UK players to get out on the floor, from his easy-chair*
Team is cooked without Jaxson. Sweet 16 at best. Just not good enough offense.
Heck, the other night, he scored 7 points in 12 minutes.

Could be a RD1 exit too, if the Cats fall to a 4 or 5. They would be playing a near equal team in round 2, but there's a HUGE difference between 12/13 seeds and 14-seeds. Have to stay on that 3-line, which won't happen if they lose to Auburn and Missouri.
We will not fall off the 3 line if we lose to them both IMO
Just can’t lose to LSU and gotta win 1 game in the SECT and they’re firmly a 3
They will fall off the 3-seed line if they lose to Auburn and Missouri. They are barely on it right now. Someone else will jump in.
Yup. We have this with JR and 2015 with poy and 2014 with wcs and 2003 with Bogans and 1997 with DA and on and on back n history.
I know every team has injuries but UK seems to have a lot of unfortunate key ones n years they could have done well or almost 100% won title if said injury didn't occur (1997, 2014 and 2015 are clear ones in that category to me).
Bracket rules will also dictate some of this too. It's very likely Kentucky ends up a 4-seed. Especially given the SEC is likely to have TWO 2-seeds.
Our worst loss, would be worse than their worst loss. They have all QUAD 1 losses.
They would be 2 or 3 games better in the same league.
They would win the head-to-head.
They would be seeded ahead of Kentucky, IMO. Especially if we get dinged a seed line because of Jaxson being out.

I'm not sure how this is any different than the news we had last week. Everyone knows that Jaxson has the opportunity to have surgery. They have been hoping he would play through it regardless. Multiple doctors have already told him that he can play. It's a matter of pain threshold right now. So Matt Jones is offering us nothing new.
Exactly. I read somewhere that we can't play either the Friday or Thursday games, I don't remember which, because of Rupp being a site. That's going to factor into where we can go and be seeded.
This is what was said on KSR Sources Say as well and they checked it with Bart Torvik. Idk where people are coming up with the “you have to beat Auburn or Missouri “ to be a 3-seed thing.
Matt Jones don’t know. They’d announce it if he were out for the season, so he’s obviously gonna try and play.
I will say whatever the hell I want and you can move your ass along too if you don’t like what I said to your boyfriend. Take your own advice boomer
No they wouldn’t. Kerr krissa has been out for the season for awhile now, and they’ve never announced it.
They will announce it after the selection show if hes out for year. Gamesmanship.
