Well I’ve been busy with real life so my apologies if I haven’t been scouring the internet to see some random statements about our players.
Wagner and Mitchell both supposedly out
- Thread starter LXWildcat
- Start date
He might pull a Norman Dale and say that his team is on the floor.
Believe it when I see it. By the way, there is no generational poverty with DJ.
Wagner sprang his ankle & miss the UNC Wilmington game. It has never totally healed & he tweaked it again. There's no conspiracy it is what it is. You people are sick!!
Wagner's last two games that he played, he REALLY struggled. He didn't have any lift on his missed layups, no footspeed to get around anyone and flat shot from 3.
Even though it seemed to be VERY obvious that something wasn't quite right with him, why oh why would Cal let him struggle trying to play thru the pain and shoot 2-10/ 30-minutes and 3-10/ 35-minutes????

Well that sucks. I mean Mitchell has been awful so it is what it is but eventually we won’t have enough bodies to compete like usual.
Yeah. I still think Mitchell will give it a go tonight, and I think Wagner is good, and they are being way to cautious with it
If they think they can escape Vandy with a W w/o either of them it is for the best...but that may be a tall ask. That is another full week off for Wagner if so.
Also being reported they've been running a lot of zone in practice over past couple of days. Just fyi.
Hold up, calling these kids pansies will get you a message from some random poster that gets their feelings hurt.
That’s where the problem lies, Kentucky isn’t good enough to escape this game without these players. Our coach equalizes or makes it a lot easier for the other team in every game. Wagner is the only guard who can guard on This team, and Mitchell if he wakes up is 10-12 points usually
I can't stand Bruiser. I could see in the post Georgie presser when Cal sent Chin out there that they were extremely bothered by Big Z's debut. I knew we wouldn't see much more of Z.
Throw enough crap at the wall and you'll get it. It wasn't because you have an insider "source", though. You just scrapped together stuff and threw it out there. Had you been wrong, you'd have just made excuses.
We've seen your types here many times over years, so you have a lot of work to do to become an actual trusted "insider".
We dismissed UNC Wilmington...and only lost by 7 at home after trailing by 14...
Yeah man it was just a lucky guess that Wagner and Tre both would be out. You got me…….
It wasn't hard to take what was said about Tre playing injured and knowing it was not going to be a surprise if DJ was out yet again.
Like I said, throw some stuff on the wall and hope it sticks.
Time will tell, but again we've seen hundreds of new posters like you snag clues and hints from everywhere and then come here and post as a supposed insider. Matt Jones does the same thing. It's not novel and it's quite easy to sniff out.
Furthermore, our true "insiders" have been around for a LONG TIME on these boards, and never, EVER come to Rafters (unless you consider Dave Kersey an "insider", which sometimes he gets tidbits, but most of the time he's not even around). They are exclusive to the HOB.
Heck KENTUCKY, JUST SIT THIS ONE OUT and the next 3 or so games. MAYBE AFTER THAT YOU WILL BE ready to play 2 or 3 games. Just forfeit these few, committee will understand you have to get every player 110% to play and you cannot use a guy at 75 or 90%. No problem.
why don't you keyboard warriors go tell anyone of that you bunch of chikenshits
This season reminds be of the TyTy season, injured players and Grady got tired towards the end of the season just like Tre
It just drives me crazy. I understand that players are more educated that we were back in the 1980s but heck it is a little out of hand. I will say I played with fractured ankles (football interior defense lineman), I played with water on the knee, I played through stingers, broken bones in hands and things like that. My body is breaking down at 59 years old (and yes I wish I would have taken better care of myself). That being said, I signed on to play with my teammates. To me it was my duty to play, it was my duty to get treatment, it was my duty to show up 1 hour before others to have ankles taped and so forth. It was my duty to put in the effort to play. Not just on game day but throughout the week. I ended up leaving football after my junior year and not play anymore because I could not do my duty.
Again, I know times are different but I bet my 2 cents worth that Jeff Sheppard is laughing his rear end off at the amount of injury/sickness surrounding this program. Heck at this point, I would think someone within the UK program is trying to Kill BiG Z. He has had food poisoning a couple of times, stomach illness a couple of times, by Cal's statement he was weigh 140 lbs by now he has lost so much weight. I would think Adou, DJ, Edwards, Mitchell should all be in nursing home recovering from the years of wear and tear on the body.
All sarcasm aside,
I hope all the precaution that is being taken Dec-Feb with injuries and sickness pays off come march. This team has talent for sure. But is is one of the softest teams I can remember in the sport since Hank Gathers team way back when. If they would not score they were not going to win.
Personally, assuming all 11 guys are ever healthy at one point this year...I would love to see Tre only play 5-10 min a game. If he isn't making 3s, he adds nothing to the game. We all know he is atrocious defensively, lacks physicality on the glass, and looks slow half the time he is out there.
Would much rather have Z and Burks get his minutes.
