Another Matt Roth injury

[tornado]

Matt had his nose broken a couple weeks ago and has been wearing a Sam Singh-like protective mask..
but on the first day that the Indiana Hoosiers are in Puerto Rico for the Puerto Rico Top Off,
he has injured his foot and was taken off the court for Xrays.
The diagnosis is pending and it is uncertain if he'll be able to play in Indiana's first game Thursday PM.

The premium Indiana board on Rivals is reporting he has broken his ankle.
No other independent confirmation, I hope it is not true..


edit - one other guy on the scout.com IU board is also saying he has it from a "very good source" that Roth has a broken ankle..

he played night before last......hmmmmm

Yes it's true, Matt broke a bone in his foot today and will have surgery when they return from P.R.

Just a thought.... Matt is now out which means a probable medical red shirt for this year. Maybe he sees the writing on the wall that IU has recruited over his head and will now transfer to BU and join his old teammate DSE.


I do know for a fact that is very happy at Indiana....

I hope not... I like JE more, and feel the scholly would be better used elsewhere...

I like JE too, but what an incredible weapon MR would be coming off the bench for some quick points.

I agree! I also want guys that want to be here from the get go. Just my preference. If we recruited them hard and they went somewhere else I'm done with them. Unless he has the ability to get us to the promise land and a league championship. like Larry Bird, I'd be happy for him to just move on. Damaged goods in my book.

MR had his chance. That window is closed. He'll redshirt and be back at IU riding the pine, and now for 3 more years.

Hope he comes back and has a good career at Indiana. He's not the first area kid to go elsewhere and he won't be the last. We were glad to welcome back Curtis Stuckey and Marcellus after they decided to go elsewhere.

guys - this is about an unfortunate injury to Matt, I have watch Matt play since he was in 5th grade and my own kids played against him..he is a great kid and still has the potential to be the kind of player as the Arkansas kid who nailed 13 3-pointers and hit 51 pts...if only they'd use him in that capacity...
Now with the injury he's cheated out of a whole year....hopefully he gets 100% well and makes a great return..

Apparently due to privacy concerns no official word on the extent of Matt Roth's injury.
But he did have xrays and is on crutches and will not play this week in Puerto rico and will be "reevaluated upon return to Indiana".
Unofficial reports still say it is fractured..and there is surgery planned for next week, but awaiting official reports.
Best of luck to Matt...I hope it turns out OK.
