Next Opponent - Illinois (Ayo Dosunmu)

Last play of game came up pretty hobbled. Hope the kids okay. Don’t want to speculate, but he’s by far their best player and maybe game against us could be in doubt. Who knows.

his left knee seemed to buckle when he was coming to a stop. Hope he is OK
 
He couldnt pit any weight at all on it. Didnt look good
 
His leg / knee bent very awkwardly. Hope it’s simply a hyperextension and nothing serious.
 
I bet against him playing. He likely hyperextended his knee. I hope I’m wrong.
Me too...that looked bad, with a lot of force pushing it in a direction that knees don’t bend. Hope it’s not a long-term/serious injury.
 
Video of his injury looked horrible. Poor kid.

I agree. Usually if it's an ACL/MCL, the kid would be writhing in pain. He wasn't so I'm hoping it's not....Of course, he could just be a really tough kid. Hate to see this stuff.

It looked like when he slipped it put stress on his LCL (outer side of knee). Hope he is ok.
 
Quincy McKnight was helped off the court with what could have been a bad injury, but not like this one. A best case scenario is he was distraught about slipping and hurt his leg and also because he turned it over and just felt terrible about the play in general.

McKnight turned around and played 3 days later after he was helped off the court and a MRI clearly showed no structural damage. I think these kids train so hard and have so much flexibility and strength that at 19 or 20, sometimes it could be fine and not serious.

If the MRI comes back clean on Dousomu, it would not shock me that he plays Saturday at RU.
 
Tempted to say I hope he's ok...by Sunday. But really want to grind them to dust at full strength.
 
Quick recovery: 17 points and 9 rebounds last night vs. MSU.
 
We should be laser focused on OSU tonite.

Who can forget TSoprano’s former postings here about RU fans needing to “Get ready for the game”?

Never knew what that meant for RU fans, but it is still memorable.
 
Hope he avoided anything serious. Only fair he misses Saturday - since we had to go to champagne without Geo

I'd think the reality has to set in one penetration to the basket could wipe away $50,000,000+ future value.

It is wrong these athletes are "forced" to play 1 year in college.
Yup
Not same decision thought process as Joey Downes

No one forces anyone to attend college. You can play overseas like one of the Ball kids. You can sit out like James Wiseman and Mitchell Robinson etc. Its a shame but no one forces anyone to play on college and in fairness to Ayo he is not a player that was going to be drafted out of High School. On the other hand, look at Myles Powell and Lamar Stevens who came back for their senior years and have elevated their draft status significantly.

Most importantly,sincerely hope all is ok with Ayo
