Warren

[Disturbed]

I'm not a doctor (nor did i stay at a Holiday Inn Express) but his setback worries me more than a little. They've already announced that he won't play at Florida, so obviously he's having some pretty serious discomfort. Previous information lead me to believe that everthing was going as planned, especially playing against Platteville. These injuries can be tough to heal. Does anyone besides me think that there may be more to this? I certainly hope not, as he is a giant piece of the puzzle.

JL said on the pregame show that they're gonna let him rest this weekend and he should be back in ten days for the game on the 24th.

The medical doctors didn't think this was a major setback, and actually thought Andrew could play tonight. But the coaches decided not to take a chance. He'll be re-evaluated, and we'll know more tomorrow.
Listen to the Jim Les show on WMBD 1470 at 8:30-9:00 am. tomorrow.

Did Warren have any screws or plates inserted into his foot? I know occasionally those can act up in the cold and can be very tricky to fully heal. This team desperately needs his perimeter expertise but we can live a few games longer without him if need be.

I said it when the injury first occurred that these fractures are tough to heal and almost everyone jumped my arse. I used Tony Bennett (UW-GB) and Anthony Parker as examples and still most said I was nuts and he would be ready for the first game. Sorry, but as I said before, this type of injury can last a whole season or longer. We will see. Hope I am wrong, but I have seen it before and I would not be surprised to see this effect his entire season. It ruined Tony Bennett's playing career. The foot takes a great beating and if Warren is out for a while BU may take some great beatings too.

I think Bradley has a plan to ensure yet another "key" player is injured when we enter conference play.

j/k

I actually think the opposite.

Bradley has a great staff and we all should be comfortable with their decisions.

Miss ya Drew - get well soon!

Jason

He has a pin in the broken metatarsal bone.

Was just reading the link below. Appears that if any pain or swelling exists after the injury has healed, the athlete/person is to cease the activity and rest for a few days. If the pain continues, then go see an orthopedist. Warren may be out awhile after this news.

There was no announcement about AW before game time, so what makes you think they have already decided for Sunday's game?

[Da Coach]

On Jim Les' post game show, he was asked about Sunday and he would not commit to whether AW would play. I suspect he won't.
