The PJ Star is reporting that Elijah Childs' progress has been very good, and the team now expects he will return around the first week of January-
“We’re hoping for (around three weeks) right now,” Wardle said. “Everything is heading in the right direction. The X-rays have been good.”
Eli's injury occurred in the Georgia Southern game on December 15. Initially, it was said he would miss 3-6 weeks. If he were to return at about 3 weeks as Coach Wardle said, that would be January 5th. That rules him out for Bradley's next game, Saturday, Dec. 28 against Toledo, and probably for the first MVC conference game Tuesday, December 31, at home against Drake. But it leaves open the possibility he could return for the second MVC game Saturday, January 4th at UNI or maybe more likely the following MVC game Wednesday, January 8, at Evansville.
This is good news for Bradley, though we really could use Elijah for these next few games. Toledo will be a tough test for the Braves. They were the top pick in the MAC Preseason poll.
BU vs. Toledo-
And the first 2 conference games, Drake (10-3) and UNI (11-1), are against the 2 teams with the best records so far among MVC teams, and UNI has, by far, the best RPI (21) and NET (23) among MVC teams.
