I hope it is D, E, or F, but I'm going with H.
If it is H, next year will be mostly new players and will be dismal.
Jake had surgery at the beginning of the season so he is out for the year. I have no clue about why the other two aren't playing.
I know that HIPPA plays a role to some extent in providing we die hard fans some injury updates, but the TOTAL lack of transparency when it comes to ANY updates whatsoever is maddening to me.
I knew that Jake had knee issues prior to the season starting because he told me himself that he had "bad wheels" when I talked to him during the season ticket holder event before the season started. I did not post it here at the time because I know how sensitive we are here on the boards about discussing injuries. The only reason that we knew that he had the surgery and was sitting out the year was because Big John was nice enough to share it with us. How hard would it have been for Dane to put out a release stating that Jake had been granted a medical redshirt this year and would have two additional years of eligibility.
One other tidbit about Jake's status. I was at Kaplan the night of our nationally televised debacle against Delaware. Sometime during the first half, they were showing on our new scoreboard a part of the CBS broadcast where they were apparently discussing our list of players that were injured and therefore not playing in the Delaware game. They showed the list on TV, and the only player on the list that they showed as "Out for Season" was Jake. Why do they tell CBS and not tell us?
It turns out that the CBS Sports Network is the place to go for updates on our injuries. During Monday night's broadcast, they offered up that Noah was suffering from a "lower leg issue", had played only one game this season (it's really 3 games at the Air Force tourney), was taking a medical redshirt, and would have two years of eligibility remaining. Then they mentioned that Charlie was out because of a concussion, and that we hoped to have him back on Thursday night. I guess that HIPPA does not seem to be a concern when our coaches talk to the CBS announcers, but the heck with us diehard fans.
Finally, let's turn to the Jack situation. About three weeks ago, during the pregame show before one of our road games. Jay asked Dane for an update on our injury situation. This was the night that Jayden Lemond returned from his unspecified absence from the team. Dane's comment to Jay was that we were getting better but that we still had a little bit more to go. On that night we had 3 scholarship players in street clothes; Jake, Noah, and Jack. We now know that both Jake and Noah were out for the season, so the "little bit" had to be referring to Jack. Yet Jack still sits in street clothes. We all think that we know why, and that he is taking a medical redshirt also, but it is crickets from the sports information department. And if his injury is indeed what has been speculated here, I am surprised that he made the road trip to New Jersey and Boston where airfare was involved. If he is indeed out for the year, just confirm what we have already concluded.
Sorry for the rant. Hopefully I did not break any rules.
