Kerr

[93kicker]

Most underrated how important this kid is to our team. He’s not one of our top 5 best players, but he is one of the top 3 most important players on this team. Why? He brings in abundance

confidence
swagger
No fear
Joy

know one else brings this at the level he does and he rubs off on others.

Plus he’s a good passer and facilitator of the offense.

We will really improve when he returns.

I hope he can get back into game shape by SEC tournament time.

 

[Wonky]

He is vitally important to this team. Anyone who says we came back against Gonzaga without him didn’t watch the game. The bulk of the comeback happened with him on the floor. Any conference wins we can manage without him are a huge bonus.

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

He is to this team what Murdock was to the A-Team.

 

[Cold Stout Beer]

He keeps our energy up, and our alertness. He rubs off on everyone. Huge part of the team.

We wont peek until he's back and acclimated ……. Which means we could peek late in the campaign …..😳

Is there something going on where it's questionable that he even returns for the season. Pope said something about not knowing when or if he will be back. Anyone know anything else about that?

Good post kid plays with a fire, take no shit attitude that many of the other players need to badly.

 

[L.O.D.]

Agree he brings the fun to this team. He's the jokester emotion guy. If he would be allowed to red shirt with injury I likely rather have him next year backing up Lewis .

Next year we got real athletes coming in should be Lewis, Oweh/Chandler, Wilson, Jasper, Garrison ( Moreno, Krissa, Chandler/Oweh, Noah. .................Travis) . Likely add a portal pg and big. I think Chsndler might be tempted to go to BYU though.

I was watching the ksr postgame and they mentioned that Popes commented on Kerr with an if or when he returns. I don't have a link but hopefully someone else heard it. Go watch the ksr postgame on YouTube.

There is an epic lob just floating there for the picking in this thread.

 

[LmdCat]

He is like the little brother who starts some crap with an older kid that forces his big brother to fight to defend him even if he really isn't motivated to fight.

Additional comment: If this is what it takes to wake this team up, I can't wait until he is able to instigate some more good trouble.

Did we get Wilson officially?

This is it for me. He is Mr. Instant energy when he comes on the floor. He does some things wrong and misses some shots but the positive outweigh the negatives when he is on the floor. Sure hope he can come back and play well this season yet.

What Pope had said was 'when and if'...a broken bone in the foot is tricky to heal. No way to rehab the torque a foot gets when a person pushes off or a basketball player tries to cut.

Just hope the best for the guy as far as his playing career goes.

There are, in fact two.

1) Kerr? Haven't seen him; and

2) Y'all should come early to watch him warm up!

😃

 

[St.PatterSoN-54-]

Kerr doesn’t do push-ups……

…….the earth retreats in fear!

Get well soon young man!

I had the same injury and I hope I’m wrong, I just don’t see a way he comes back without being in a lot of pain. He will have way better medical care than I got but they are also probably going to try to speed the process up

 

[JonathanW]

While I like the OP's optimism. Uh...NO he is definitely NOT one of the 3 most important players on this team.
The top 5 (you can debate the order) are CLEARLY Oweh, Butler, Carr, Williams, Brea.
If you want to say KK is 6th, ok; although Robinson, Garrison and maybe even Almonor some could argue are ahead of him.

I imagine he has gotten better care than you or I would get. But regardless, a foot injury is not one that he can go out and do anything with. Maybe he can shoot FT's, even that is a maybe.
So, he will not be in game shape, and his skills will be rusty. Which he was only shooting 28% and 26% anyway, so maybe he needed the RESET button pushed.
