Again his arm would have been hanging. Walking off the court he raises it above his shoulder and rotates it all the way. I just don’t see any separation possibly.
Mitchell injury...

- Start date
Exactly. But I will say my doctor told me I should have came in years ago. Mine would fall out wiping my ass sometimes it was so loose.
Would much rather have Mitchell on the court than not. He is the one orchestrating on defense. No flash, but a steady eddy type.
That's what she said......I'm sorry I couldn't help myself.

I was thinking the same thing, but thought it was too immature. Thank you
I didn't want to do it but I felt like I owed it to Rupp's Rafters to do it.
Vaught tweeted Xray was negative, but looks like they are doing an MRI. Possible dislocated shoulder.
That's how things work here. One person posts pure speculation as fact, 15 minutes later it's canon.
UK would be a .500 or worse without him imo.Tre Mitchell

... multiply that by the CCC recovery factor.
Leading rebounder, believe it or not...
Not sure why fans keep saying this, like it is some sort of accomplishment.
He averages the most minutes on the team (or at least did until the injury), and was the tallest/biggest UK player on the court for a good chunk of the season (as our 3 seven footers were out).
Tre only averaged 7 rebs a game...that sucks, quite frankly. And this is with him spending more time in the paint defensively/offensively then a lot of our other players combined, and being our biggest player.
Not really impressive at all.
I don't know. Tre is sometimes the smartest and most consistent player on the floor. He's poised and generally reliable to at least not make a ton of errors. That's a guy you generally want out there. Hopefully the rest of the team has grown and can win without him.. but he was greatly needed in the early going.
Ok, imagine if we didn't have those 7 rbpg? I'm always chuckling when people downplay statistical leaders as if someone else would just "step up" and fill that void.
No, 7 isn't impressive, but it's what we have and without that we would be 7 and 17.
I don’t get where 7 rebounds a game is bad. That’s good, could tre get more sure, but 7 rebounds a game isn’t bad
Here are Tre Mitchell's stats in UKs toughest games this yr...
KU- 8 pts, 6 reb, 39 min
UNC- 8 pts, 5 reb, 33 min
TAMU- 8 pts, 13 reb, 44 min
SC- 13 pts, 5 reb, 34 min
FL- 5 pts, 9 reb, 38 min
UT- 0 pts, 5 reb, 24 min
The way a lot of this fanbase talks about how valuable Tre is to this team is mind boggling. The guy has been a disappointment, and has been non existent in the majority of big games.
Well, it's good to know what doesn't impress you. It's like finding out that a critic doesn't like movie X, Y, and Z. It allows the audience to know what the critic's taste is.
I have seen a lot of shoulder dislocations and neither the hit he took or the way he responded looked like a dislocated shoulder to me. I know it’s a possibility but it sure doesn’t seem that’s the case.
Those aren't terrible numbers, considering we're removing his great games. That's an 8 and 8 resume. He's also averaging 3A to 1.5TO, which is at least efficient for a big.
I don't think anyone is confusing Tre for some Wooden Watch player. But he plays smart and we'd be looking an awful lot worse without him.
Separation is a terrible injury. So hard to heal with not much of an accurate timetable.
#1 in rebounds does NOT mean he is a good rebounder. Why? Because he is #1 in MPG. He is actually next to last in rebounds-per-30min from everyone >6'6 (Ivisic, Onyenso, Burks, Theiro, Bradshaw, and then Mitchell & Edwards).Tre Mitchell

Defense ain’t his thang. He can’t guard in a phone booth.
He’s a stretch 4 and a great passer.
He’s doesn’t set good picks and he doesn’t guard.
They don’t understand numbers. This concept of what a guy does “per-30” is just too complicated for some on this board. Somehow.
Mitchell is best low post scorer and team Captain his loss is not insignificant. I do think Thiero can step in and be a asset with his energy and toughness . What I know with or without Mitchell we need to win Saturday
Really ? So lose our leading rebounder and when HEALTHY a important scorer and leader is beneficial to the team ? It would NOT help in the long run. You do know he was leading the team with 7 rebounds (21 minutes) when he got hurt ? probably not. He averages 12 pts. / 7.5 reb. (leader) / 3.1 Assist / 1.1 blocks (2nd on the team) / and 1 steal a game. Not to mention a veteran leader, yes by all means, he will NOT be missed. What a silly post. Not surprised though, I read SEVERAL a day that is just mind blowing.
I'd love his game if he never took a 3. Reed needs every single one of his attempts.
It's crazy how much Tre's shooting has fallen off. He was terrible shooting yesterday. That one 3 was nowhere close to the rim and he wasn't rushed or anything. All that said, I absolutely want him healthy soon and available for us for the rest of the year.
In my personal experience, having had my shoulder dislocated twice, I can tell you that there's no such thing as a "possible" dislocated shoulder. When it happens, YOU KNOW. Basically, Satan himself comes to visit you. It hurts so bad you almost throw up. When an expert puts the shoulder back in, the relief is so palpable it brings tears to your eyes.
Your shoulder or your ass was so loose it would fall out?
So are you like the 2 in here that are acting like he is useless and Kentucky doesn’t need him or are you more on board with he is important just in a 20-25 min window, instead of playing 33-35 mins
43 rebounds through six high levels games is a bad thing?
Who's even remotely close to that in any six games this season?
Even a bruise will be 4-6 weeks here.
Put the strap or tape think on his shoulder and tell him to play through it, everybody has bruises and minor injuries This time of year
Mitchell is extremely valuable to this team. His leadership and support for the younger players is hugely beneficial. He talks to them all game long, tells them what to look for and to stay positive, gets them to the correct spots. It's no accident that UGO had a 16 rebound 8 block game and a 10 block game with Tre on the floor and constantly in his ear. When Tre was out, Ugo was much less effective.
Skills-wise, Mitchell is smart, crafty even; he can really pass; he does not get totally lost on defense; and he can be a good shooter from deep. Even when he is not hitting, the opponent must stay with him at the three point line and the inside space is cleared for our other guys to attack the basket. I have my doubts we make the NCAA tournament without Mitchell.
