Wendell Moore Broken Hand Vigil

[CDu]

I would guess 4-6 weeks recovery time from surgery. But that is strictly a guess.

There's 27 bones in the human hand, so it's really hard to compare against other hand injuries until there's more information.

Well yeah - but we already used the bad scenario of Curry so I was presenting another.

Anyway here is the Duke statement:

and that's the last well hear about it until he's out on the floor warming up

Jalen Johnson also left IMG Academy and maybe with this happening is there any speculation of him enrolling in Duke for this year?

That you can count on.

Joel Berry didn't miss a ton of time (I think) when he broke his hand right?

You must be thinking about *class* time...

Berry attended all the classes that were required of him.

Hate to hear this news as Wendell was getting better as a point forward. Out of Alex, Joey and Cassius, I believe that Joey is the better ball handler and better passer. However I don't think he's the defender Cassius is. The minutes will probably be shared among; Goldwire, Cassius, Alex and Joey. Man, can we ever have a year we don't lose players to injury.

GoDuke!

[Troublemaker]

Darn, I had been thinking he was probably going to be our best defender against Nwora. Louisville game is Jan 18th.

Oh well.

Get well soon, Wendell.

[devildeac]

I'm sure we'll all be vigilant about his recovery...

Heal quickly and completely, young man!

[Reddevil]

While it probably does not matter much if at all for his return does anyone remember if he is right or left handed?

I believe the Parker/Hood team was healthy all season and look how well that turned out!

I remember that, he broke it punching a door because he was upset that a teammate beat him in NBA 2K. The only time I’ve ever NOT felt bad for a player getting injured.

You had to know this was coming...

It's over.

It's over.

Yea, I wasn't about to be *that* guy.

With this news it wouldn't shock me if Goldwire starts against Louisville and does nothing but shadow and pester Nwora all game. Yes, there's a size disadvantage there, but I think from a game-plan perspective we'd rather have Nwora forcing the ball inside and having to finish around Vern than being able to get us from deep. Especially after the Florida State game this weekend it's becoming clear that Louisville will go as far as Nwora takes them, so I've got to expect even without Wendell we'll be able to make a game plan that essentially boils down to making the complementary guys beat us.

Well, you put out this nice solid plank to walk out on to get a view beyond the deck ...

"Man overboard!"

It's over.

Vernon Carey Jr. was born 3 days before that Duke-Maryland game. So we've reached the point where the joke is almost older than the current roster.
