yikes

Well lots of run for Henley now! Lets hope he can find a rhythm with consistent playing time here

 

[Wet_Blanket_Guy]

Was his ankle ever fine? He always walked with an odd limp

 

[gopherbadgerman]

Next man up I guess

Better this year than next. What is it with our program that we see so many injuries??

 

[Bad Gopher]

Well, shit. At least it's not season ending, so we can interpret that positively.

Should be able to give us a boost by weakling Wednesday!!!

 

[GopherBlood777]

Is this related to his lower body injury from earlier this season?

 

[short ornery norwegian]

well, that might explain a few things. Carrington really hasn't looked "right" all season.

but the depth takes another hit. If Battle's back problems keep him out of the lineup, then we might be going back to the Iron 5 strategy. Or TT gets out of the doghouse.....

That sucks. I kind of doubt we see him again this year.

That sucks. I kind of doubt we see him again this year.

Only the last 5 games count, we are told, so I would assume they need him for those.

 

[nitramnaed]

Ugh!

 

[UpAndUnder43]

Shitty. Missing the bulk of the B1G season. Missing out on so much experience.

 

[Dupreefor3]

Next man up I guess

Not sure there is one

 

[Dupreefor3]

While Carrington shooting hasn't quite been there yet, he's a better defender than our other guards. If Henley, Cooper, or Samuels goes down shit is going to get real interesting

Guard was one spot where we really couldn't afford to lose anyone so yeah....Henley is going to get a real opportunity to show what he can do because there aren't many options left.

Bummer that Carrington will have to miss some valuable development time.

 

[restovich]

Henley time.

 

[Bob_Loblaw]

I'd rather Ramberg get the extra minutes than Samuels.

Henley is a better defender than Carrington, IMO. Carrington has been repeatedly burned off the dribble and on back doors. I like Carrington and he has made some nice steals but his position defense has not been great. Carrington's overall game is better right now than Henley's has been- that I would say....

The good news is we are really deep at guard so this shouldn't be a big issue.

Excuse me sir -

Let's get ready to RAMMMMMBERG!

My plan to play TT at PG might finally happen.

 

[Crappie]

Didn't need another guard on the team, according to the gh brain trust. Now it's time to see.

He may still be a freshman next year.

At this point, why the heck not?!

Peanut Butter Henley Time. Let that tune sink in...................
