I'm not optimistic about two weeks. Hammy's aren't fun. Feel bad for Nate. But I feel worse for Ty and KC during their sr season. Of course the absence of an inside game was already being felt vs SDSU and Purdue. Nate used to have more of an offensive game. He could drive and had a mid range high release. What has happened to this player? He almost seems like he has been relegated to a rebounder and defender.

Yeah, I pulled my hamstring recently, and it took about a month to get back to 100%.

Granted, I didn't have a trained medical team working with me to speed the recovery like I'm sure he does, but still, hamstrings injuries suck

We desperately need someone of Kaufusi, Worthington, Neilsen or Nixon to step up and rebound the ball.

Well, don't feel so bad. KC still has another year.

We lose Haws, Austin, Winder, and Halford.

Yea I was thinking about this--- how are we going to score next year?

KC provides some points.

Fischer has proven D's can make him disappear.

Neilson hopefully gains some strength?

Aytes?

Oh yea I forgot about Kyle Davis.

Next year is going to be weird. We are going to need Calvert or Emery or the new Hartsock to provide some big-time scoring.

I don't know that Calvert will score a ton, he seems more a drive and dish type, but then we'll at least have a point guard on the team.

Next season could be really long. Good news is in two years we ought to have a pretty awesome team. And in three years we ought to be downright unstoppable.

Back to the thread, time for Kaufus to steal a starting spot. He is the best big I have seen this year even though he is still raw.
