Purdue's Robbie Hummel injured again- out for season

[Da Coach]

Reports from Purdue are that Robbie Hummel, who was recovering from a serious knee injury and was expected to be back close to 100% for this season, has reinjured the knee in practice this morning and will be out again for this season.

Whoa - that's a blow to PU's season.

This is terrible.

I hope he can recover to somewhat physical normality. This just has to be a huge psychological blow to him. I could not imagine what is going through his mind. I liked his game a lot and I was looking forward to seeing him play this year and I'm not even a Purdue fan.

he will get the Sam Singh 6th year if he wants to...hope he gets back to full strength...
but it highlights again how fortunate we are that Will Egolf's knee turned out so well considering how badly all the interior components were damaged

I gotta ask the question of whether he tried to come back too soon. It's not like he injured it at the beginning of last season...it was near the very end. He's not Wes Welker using HGH or other supplements to speed recovery (there's zero doubt in my mind that Welker did so, it's the only explanation for his superhuman healing). I'm not a doctor by any means, but was quite surprised to see that he already practicing and expected to be ready to play right away. I figured the Big 10 season at the earliest.

He should just quit the game. I love the way he works but someone needs to step in and show him what he will walk like in his 30s.

[AZ BU Fan]

Let's hope HE didn't put $30K down on $100K worth of bling before he got hurt again...

Seriously, tough break for what appears to be a good kid. Now is the time for him to take advantage of the educational opportunities at Purdue to set up a long and prosperous career outside of, or, possibly related to, basketball...
