2019 Off-Season IU Roster News and Moves

Certainly not thrilled about it. Choosing to believe the “insiders” that it’s nothing serious.

Them missing all this time isn’t ideal though from a practice/chemistry perspective.

All the talk of the injuries being nothing to worry about aside, it's my nature to worry until I see them playing. We have plenty of recent evidence about what injuries to key guys can do to a season. If this continues our perceived depth may get tested early and often.

Wounds to the "lower abdominal" and "hamstring."
At least that what Archie is saying!

I get that they are injured. It was to get Aaron to explain more in depth why it was rubbing salt in it.

Reading the transcript doesn’t exactly inspire confidence in Rob’s injury. Devonte’s reads a little less troubling.

Rob hasn't practiced all October.

There's no way to spin this one - it's bad news.  The season hasn't even started yet but our starting backcourt is already on the mend.

Yikes, just when I was starting to let a little optimism for the season seep in.

[HinnyHoosier 4,336]

RP not going for an entire month seems to have snuck right on by. It’s only October so the injury reports aren’t necessarily a weekly watch yet, but the ambiguity over extended time just gives me icky feelings like we had with the Hunter situation last year.

If they miss regular season games then worry.

It stinks. Especially Rob. Good news is Franklin gets minutes.

[Chris007 42,070]

If Rob hasn't practiced in 29 days, what kind of shape is he going to be in by the first game? Seems to me he's a long way off. Also his injury just doesn't seem right to me. Something seems fishy.

To me it’s just a shitty situation.

Anytime someone is not practicing it is concerning. But RP is arguably the most important piece of this team. If this has been ongoing for a month or more and is not resolved, that sounds like a major red flag. The lack of information about the condition of injured players these days is maddening for a fan standpoint. And I am fully aware of the legal restrictions....but still!

This is me speculating based on it being an abdominal injury for Rob. He has either a hernia or he got a case of mono. Those are the first two issues that came to mind.

Better than my first thought of diverticulitis.

Did Romeo nut punch him for sleeping with his girlfriend?

LOL No I believe that has been debunked a few times. Now he might have punched him for making him sleep on the couch.

A hernia was my first thought when they said abdominal injury.

[hurryinghoosier5 96]

We really can’t get one year without major injury issues can we?

We don't know that its a major injury (although being out for the whole month of october doesn't bode well).  I'll be concerned if he misses more than a couple of the early season games...

Wouldn't that require surgery and 4-6 weeks of rest? I'm not a doctor but have stayed at a Holiday Inn
