Castle injury update

[kansashusky]

Damn.

 

[krinklecut]

Not being able to say definitively it’s not season ending is very bad news

 

[REB1094]

Officially scared

 

[superjohn]

@Kenny11 has sources. This is certainly not ideal, injuries were my one worry for this season and we're off to a really bad start in that department with our two projected top 10 picks suffering injuries. I don't think it's a stretch to say Castle's knee and Donovan's foot will determine how this season goes.

 

[RipCity]

Without Castle the ceiling of this team goes way down. They really need the other freshmen to step up now.

I hate how Hurley is so cagey with injuries, wish he would just give his fans just a bit more information

I agree. It's really frustrating and getting tiresome.

 

[Yankees32123]

That sucks. Just hope he is back by conference play. If Castle is out until January, the new goal is to beat Indiana and win 2 of Texas, North Carolina, Kansas and Gonzaga. Go into Big East play 9-2 and get healthy.

 

[Marat]

Without him, beating Kansas becomes much tougher...... crossing fingers he is able to return healthy asap.

We are not entitled to the information just because we're fans.

 

[nomar]

That is a horrendous update

Every game from here on out became much tougher.

 

[aburks41]

I heard yesterday that he got a minor procedure done and the timeline was 2-4 weeks.

Doesn’t sound like he will. “Not considered season ending” is a roundabout way of saying a good chunk of time.

As I said in the other threads and others have, the ambiguity of the staff with injuries is lretty annoying.

 

[JB75]

“Does not APPEAR to be season ending?” Jesus. That got bad quick. Here I am thinking he’s gonna play Sunday.

 

[CardiacAndre7]

It’s not entitlement, teams regularly disclose timelines, we don’t really.

 

[AntG168]

Ball will get every opportunity now to step up. 9-2 OOC was my goal before the injury. So I guess my new adjusted goal would be 8-3? I think we’re still set up to remain afloat until he returns. We’re going to need our all American candidate to be an all American, Karaban to make that jump and Newton to play like a 1st team all big east caliber player. If those 3 things happen we’ll be fine. Get Castle healthy for conference play. And hopefully in an ideal scenario when he returns, he’ll return to a team with another budding star in Ball.

We Gon Be Alright!

Hurley's quote sounds bad but what I heard seemed more optimistic for it to be a few weeks.

He’ll have a 20 game conference slate to prepare for the Big Dance. I think we’ll be fine. We may suffer a couple of seed lines. Unless the bottom falls out, in which I would just assume we were never that good to begin with.


If we are National Championship Contenders we will find out while Castle is out. If Clingan is who many thinks he is he should be able to carry us for 2-3 weeks

It is entitlement: some teams disclose timelines, some don't. Regardless, fans aren't entitled to the information. It is Castle's private medical information. Just because some people give information, doesn't mean you have to. This seems pretty simple.

Well there's only one definitive timeline they could have given here, and that's season ending. So I'm glad they didn't

 

[k-walk]

Having to play our non castle freshmen even more minutes against Kansas is terrifying
