Andrew Warren

[New Guy]

Just came from the Bradley Braves Sponsor Luncheon put on by WMBD radio at Barracks Cater Inn. Jim Les was a little late. He started his speech by saying that he was sorry he was late because he had been at the hospital with AW. He has a stress fracture in a foot and Dr. Maxey is putting a pin in right now. Should only be down 3 to 4 weeks and back to 100% before the exhibition schedule. Both JL and CB had very good things to say about all the new guards. Also that WE is looking good. Dave Snell talked about the quickness on defense from all the guards. Saluki like is the term he used. No one seems too worried about Andrew.

JL said scheduling is very hard. Izzo said he is never coming back, and told everyone it is a tough place to win. DePaul won't talk about coming to Peoria. That is the curse of winning at a high % at home he said. JL had to leave right after his speech to see a recruit in Chicago.

I hope not either. However, I'm guessing that if the staff did think it were serious, Coach Les would not have disclosed it freely to the public. Or, at least, he wouldn't have said anything right from coming to the hospital.

Darius Smith to the office please. You have a visitor.

AW will be fine I think. My only worry is losing amonth of conditioning.

Man, I hope this doesn't become a "lingering" injury this year or next for Andrew.

Im glad to hear this is only a stress fracture. I remember last year AW broke his thumb, which is strange because in the last 2 years I broke my thumb and stress fractured my foot. I don't think the foot is much to worry about as I remember being able to use it pretty extensively after a month or so.

I don't pay much attention to other teams, but it seems like BU has been very prone to early season stress fractures of the foot to star guards over the last decade. Anthony Parker, Phillip Gilbert, and now Andrew Warren. Uggh.

Injuries are never good...but it's much, much better to have this happen in September rather than in December or January...

I completely agree, but atleast on the surface, the team seem deeper and more prepared to absorb this type of an injury this early then Parkers team or Gilberts... when they got hurt and it was in season it just destroyed those teams.

[Big Mike]

Wow....I sure hope this doesn't turn out to be a season long problem for AW.....we will need his scoring and D' to compete IMO!

According to this headline, Andrew broke his hand. But obviously, the headline is an error--
Bradley's Warren breaks hand

Hope AW can heal quickly and that it doesn't linger.

That's too bad... My respect level is officially decreased on Tom Izzo.
