Tatum Injury

[vcugreg]

Glad I had my second family here to talk me off the ledge while we awaited word lol. Looking on twitter and the interwebs and seeing nothing but rumors of the worst possible scenarios certainly makes good news seem hard to come by. Glad so many here stuck with the just wait approach. PHEW!!!!

Your best bet is to stay off twitter when it comes to medical stuff/injuries. Find the correct posters on this site and you will get the much more reliable info.

After seeing that kid live, that foot post ripped my guts out. Kids a Baller!

Yea for those of you that didn't see him play Saturday night.....good lord what a player. Just wait and you'll see. He is nearly unguardable. And for those idiots saying Justin Jackson is better, be afraid, be very afraid.

Not officially confirmed by Duke, just what my brother heard directly from quite reliable Durham sources. Hope they are wrong.

Tell your brothers quite reliable Durham sources that I hate them.

Has Dr. Steat confirmed anything yet? I won't be satisfied until I hear from him and him alone.

"If K-rat and the staff were really concerned for his future now, they'd redshirt him."

I'm sure it's something to that affect.

Absolutely.

No injury is ever good news, but I think a timetable of just two weeks constitutes good news versus what could have been.

Get well, Jayson!

 

[CRAZIE4LIFE]

Well wishes for the young man. Seeing him play Saturday made me drool to see our starting 5 together.

 

[Showenuff]

Hey steat....

 

[QC Dukie]

Hey Thr, that sigh of relief from y'all when the Tatum injury news broke, just backfired on you.

Yeah two weeks is nothing especially when the first game is 16 days away. We as fans, the team and he all got lucky with this, as it could be much worse. He shouldn't miss any games at all from this. It should also give the other guys even more reps in practice and in the upcoming scrimmages.

Them Kentucky idiots were praying that he would be out all season, deep down they know we are better then them. All they talk about on rafters is us, they are so jealous

Oh yea I agree they were just telling us what we want to hear and secretly happy in the back of their heads. They and that other idiotic fan base make me sick!!!!

They're even talking about how their guy Liggins beat out Jones for the final roster spot on the Cavs. They are literally celebrating THAT!

I would hope that Liggins could beat out the considerably older Dahntay Jones...

Or better still just wait on Steat to tell us the truth

Liggins won't even be playing in Europe when he's Dahntay's age.

 

[gottagonow]

I just want to say how great it feels to find out Jayson's injury is not as severe as originally thought.

Thank you Lord

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Coach K says Jayson Tatum's injury is just a sprain and he'll be out no longer than two weeks.

2:02 PM - 26 Oct 2016

Best news possible. Best case scenario and hope was a sprain. That's fantastic.

And why do the idiots at Rupp Rafters pretty much laugh at how bad Tatum is for a team because he is nothing but a ball hog? Jealousy is my first guess.

 

[dukedevilz]

Why would they be jealous when they have 13% 3-pt shooter, Isaiah Briscoe? That dude is prime for a 22% breakout-type season beyond the arc.

That's only because he's mugged literally every single time he shoots and the refs never call it because there is a conspiracy against Kentucky.

 

[dukehokie]

Ugh enough Kentucky talk. Back to our boys!

Amen to this. UK makes my skin crawl.

 

[dbav]

Tatum shall rocketh the hizzie...when healthy.

 

[youngman42]

Honestly, I hope they take it slow with him. I don't care if he's not even back for KU. That will be a tough game to win anyway and pollsters and other rating systems will not care about that loss later in the year. If we brought him back by PSU (Nov. 19) then he should be good to go within the team system full on by the MSU game - which will be a more important win down the road.

If we can get Giles back and working in the rotation for 10-15 minutes starting out by the Virginia Tech game on 12/31 then we will be fine. Coach K sounded very cautious about Giles.

Tell your brothers quite reliable Durham sources that I hate them.

In other words, tell your sources to cancel their Twitter accounts.

Djones has a rang!!!!...lol

Both a college and NBA ring right? One of those Liggins will never have

 

[BOOGIEMAN1914]

he was one the 2001 team as a RS...he practiced and helped...not sure if he actually got a ring though?

Yes, he received one.

 

[twdukefan]

Yes, he received one.

They did that with Seth from 2010 also right?
