Bradley injuries

[Da Coach]

It is still 2 months before practice starts, but Bradley already is racking up injuries.

Dave Reynolds just reported that Xzavier Taylor is out 6 weeks with a stress fracture in his right foot.

I have heard that Josh Cunningham is nursing a leg injury and not scrimmaging, and Warren Jones will miss several more weeks recovering from surgery on his right thumb.

...... Xzavier Taylor is out 6 weeks with a stress fracture in his right foot.....

ouch, that's gotta hurt - seems when basketball players get stress fractures in the feet, they take forever to get back to 100% (Andrew Warren was out a year, Yao Ming never recovered, Kansas' Joel Embiid is out 6 mo, Michigan's Caris Levert out 4 months...)

If XT, Cunningham, Donte, Warren Jones, & Omari are all unable to go 100% in contact drills, & Amerson's not here, then who are they using in 5-on-5 scrimmages?


BTW - near the end of this there's a very brief comment from newcomer Warren Jones

Josh Cunningham undergoes knee surgery - he's got an excellent surgeon

That means both incoming freshman forwards will be recovering from meniscus injuries and surgeries.

I agree - it's a pretty impressive list of no-shows...
Bradley's 2nd summer session ends this Friday and still we do not know if Amerson is cleared to enroll...

[Da Coach]

Dave Reynolds' tweet.....Josh Cunningham came through his surgery OK, and Kendahl Amerson is still awaiting word on his eligibility

Mid-August and Amerson still not eligible to enroll? That is concerning.

[Da Coach]

Bradley's fall semester starts the week after next, and the summer classes at his juco ended a while ago. So what is the delay?
