Hoosierhoopster Posted January 5, 2018 Report Share Posted January 5, 2018 Totally sucks. Hope he recovers soon. Probably will see Collin start, but hope to see real minutes with Smith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once they get to 8-10 years old, they tend to migrate towards teams that are championship caliber. Unfortunately, IU has not been drawing in those kids for the last couple of years. Or, they marry a guy who is not sports oriented. My daughter, 5th generation of IU grads in the family, watched games with me faithfully. Proudly owned an IU hat signed by Damon Bailey. Met a great guy in Bloomington and married 7 years ago. Blessed us with two beautiful grandchildren. He's a Silicon Valley techster making a lot of money but has little interest in sports in general, much less IU. Steering the young ones to the Cream and Crimson and helping them maintain their allegiance is a lifelong endeavor! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Daddy 4 Posted January 6, 2018 Report Share Posted January 6, 2018 I really like Deron’s game. Thought he would be huge for the team this year but without consistent guard play was not happening. Hate to hear of the injury in Practice. However HE was not playing up to his potential prior to the injury. We can point to some “dings” in prior games but WE are all fooling ourselves that those were holding him back and we can keep making excuses as many above have but it comes down to effort. He could be a beast as we saw with Duke or a “college player” as we have seen more often. I hope as many of us do that he will come back with more CONSISTENT fire when healthy to lead us back to the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milehiiu Posted January 6, 2018 Report Share Posted January 6, 2018 Anyone who did not turn the sound off during the televised Wisconsin game.... would have heard Dakich ragging on De'Ron. Saying that he was limping in practice. And that no body cares. Well, that should have been our tip off that there were issues prior to the Wisconsin game. Quite obvious to me, at least.... that De'Ron was attempting to practice and play through some issues. And they were very recent, based on what Dakich was complaining about.

You would think that a guy who advertises there's always a back story would instead of reaming a kid say maybe the injury is real. Photo popped up on twitter this morning. He's in a walking boot. That part doesn't bother me much because Bryant was in a walking boot his entire Soph year. What bothered me was the cane. Wish him a speedy recovery. Contrary to some like Dakich...we need Davis healthy soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5fouls Posted January 6, 2018 Report Share Posted January 6, 2018 So he was definitely hurt before Thursday yet we claim he got hurt Thursday in practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if I'm reading your suggestion is that somehow we i.e. IU didn't announce he was hurt when he was originally hurt? If in fact that's the suggestion I can tell you there are many factors that go into disclosing whether a kid is a hurt or not. Many of them aren't up to the staff. IU and it's fans need a win. Hope everyone enjoys the game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach1K Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 I know that Priller is a fan favorite among some of the fan base but I don't think he is the answer. If I'm Archie I would play someone like Justin Smith which is what he did and I think he earned some time yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 With Penn St and Northwestern coming up I think we catch a little break. Not necessarily the biggest of opponents so I think playing Smith will be just fine. Depending on DD injury or severity we could sit him out this week at home and at Sparty next week (not winning up there) and give DD more than 2 Full Weeks of rest of before 1/22 home game vs Maryland?

KoB2011 Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 DD had a non-contact injury, right? I don't think he will be back this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't Dakich say during the game Davis wouldn't be back this year? Impossible to tell if that was because he knew something or if he was just talking out of his butt, but I'm not really expecting him back this season either.

FW_Hoosier Posted January 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 I was told there was a graphic at the beginning of the game that said Davis had an Achilles injury. If that’s the case, he’s done for the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if thats 100% accurate, though. We'll find out more this week. Will we though? We never officially heard Hartman was out for the year.

Zuckerkorn Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 Hate to see a player miss a huge chunk of playing time due to injury, but it sounds like that's what DD might be faced with. Hopefully he can recover as quickly as possible and Smith can use the additional minutes to advance his own development. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Medical and HIPPA laws prohibit certain things. I can only tell you that I've heard Crean and medical staff had a very tenuous relationship at best. Argued plenty. Ultimately though I think this was a CH decision not to disclose. Maybe someone else can contribute what they heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5fouls Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 In this case, we have to assume that Dakich knows the real situation, and I don't think that he would say 'out for the year' unless he really knows that to be the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
