Gill out for season

[atskooc]

Torn patella tendon. 

 

Bummer!

[bigFRED]

Medical redshirt?

[Norm Peterson]

Too many games played.

[Bugeaters1]

Well that puts a kink in everyone's rotation. Bad deal.

That really sucks for Gill. He's had a rough couple months.  Well, let's hope this team can remain out of foul trouble.

[AuroranHusker]

He was just starting to knock the rust off, too. Ughhh.

[Silverbacked1]

SIGH...

[Donkey]

Huge blow.  We were already shallow at G.  Fortunately Taylor came in this summer or the team would be in really bad shape.  Medical redshirts are harder to obtain in basketball than they are in football.  Even if he is cleared to play next season, Taylor will not be 100% for a while.

 

Miles is now stuck with Jack moving up to G.  Could see more PT for Roby and Horne at the 3.

[Silverbacked1]

This could make or break Horne's chance to play a lot.

[HuskerCager]

Another tough break for Anton and for the program as well.  No disrespect to AG, but now we have another empty scholarship on the roster for this year, and I have to believe that the likelihood of AG being a meaningful contributor in his Sr season is low.

I blame Andrew White. It's clearly his fault.

Why would that move Jack up to a Guard?  It will move Evan Taylor to the 1 or 2 spot to rotate with Watson and Webster and leave Horne, McVeigh, and Roby at the 3.

Bummer.  I feel bad for Anton, his game seemed to be returning to him.  This is a bad set-back for Anton and the team.  Seems to me that it further opens the door for Jeriah.  We need that outside shooter, and Anton seemed to be getting his stroke back.  Major bummer.

[Bugeaters1]

 

[Chuck Taylor]

Man, that's tough. Imagine being a 21-year-old kid and essentially missing most of two seasons. 

[throwback]

Ugh, terrible break for Gill and for NU. I'd echo what others have been saying, he was just starting to get rolling. 

 

My nightmare scenario at the end of last season would've been to be without Gill or he-who-shall-not-be-named-the-third at any point this season ... and here we are without either of them. 

 

Hope the rest of the guys can rally.

Tough break for the team and Coach Miles.  Chance for others on the squad to produce.

Horne or a re-calibrated McVeigh probably getting a chunk of the 15-25 minutes Anton was playing

[hal9000]

Sons of bitches!

[khoock]

Well I think this almost assures we see a lot more of Horne as ET will have to serve almost exclusively as the backup to Tai and Watson. Assuming he won't get much more minutes at the 3, we should be seeing a lot more of Horne and Roby. We need Jack McVeigh to rediscover his stroke more than ever now.

[colhusker]

Ouch, can we catch a break anytime?

I am not saying Jack will start at guard. Rather he will play the 2 in a backup role. Inevitably, there will be foul trouble, the need for a breather, or injuries which necessitates having four guards ready to play on any given day. Taylor, Webster, and Watson can all play the 1. Jack will play when two of them will be on the bench. I just don't see Roby or Horne at the 2, but I can see them holding down the 3 from here on out. Jack has played guard on occasion in the past too. 

[HB]

If we didn't have bad luck we wouldn't have any at all.    Just one shot after another.   And still I come back for more.....

[tcp]

this poor team is absolutely snakebit.

 

they need all the support they can get from here on out. this one's going to be rough.
