Juwan Morgan:

• Was injured for the majority of last season. Truly limited.
• Was an excellent, well-rounded, mature player last season.
• Will be 100% full-go healthy this season.

No one has him in the starting lineup. He's gonna be really, really good.

Can really shoot it too. So can DeRon and TB.

He's no longer wearing any sling but hasn't yet been cleared to go full bore.  Also, CTC told the Huber crowd last night that Hartman did not require surgery on his wrist only a cast.

Lets just hope his shoulder is strong enough to take the hits in a game.  

People are probably just wary because it seemed like he re-injures it easily

I can't locate the actual quote, but at the Huber event last evening CTC referenced that Morgan's shoulder had popped out around 15 times since he was a junior in high school so yes, hopefully the surgery has made the shoulder strong enough to take the pounding.

I'm excited to see what he can do if this surgery has fixed the problem. Seems like this year may be his year.

I'm so excited to see this past year's freshman make the typical sophomore jump.

If all 3 of these guys make a significant leap, then WHOA.

Actually Morgan was a much higher-regarded recruit than OG (4-star vs. 3-star), not that stars make or break the player. But Juwan sort of got pushed into the background by his classmates. Bryant developed into the star big man, and OG showed he was highly underrated at 3 stars and made us giddy with his steals, his dunks and his 3-pointers. Before it's over, Morgan will show his stuff. He has really good basketball instincts and has showed himself to be so intelligent on the court that Crean was using him as a reserve PG. He can hit the 3, he can rebound and he's as good on defense as anyone we put on the floor...he needs to put on a few pounds but that might be another year away. Let that shoulder heal before going full-out in the weight room.
