Nowhere official. Just tons of smoke on several boards.

Cig would've updated on Daley when asked about injuries in his interview. I remember being HOODWINKED about Billy Donovan looking at a horse farm, Brad Stevens in Btown x10. For once I hope the boards are wrong!

Could easily envision Cig not wanting to tip his hand about an injury like this until as close to the next game as reasonably possible. If boards with posters in/near the AD have deleted threads about it, I assume it's because the program didn't want this to leak yet. Maybe it's wrong for me to assume that... but I am also hoping the boards are off on this. Would be a total gut punch and that's an understatement.

Can any members here speak on the validity of the Original poster to the rumor on Peegs?

Cig made a comment in Sundays media availability about checking injuries during the game and “after the game”.  I thought it was tongue in cheek but seems ominous now.

we also knew about 5 guys being suspended before the northwestern game before anyone else

If this Daley rumor is true, moving forward I propose a new program rule that all celebrations must take place with two feet firmly planted on the ground at all times. Lol... can't be 275+ and jumping for joy all willy nilly

Any chatter with Coop's injury? Regarding Daley, man, major major blow. But, Tucker, Landino, Hosea and Ratcliff are important ingredients to the magic sauce. I expect Ndukwe filling the spot.

There's no chance Wyatt comes back, right?

Yeah, I think he's done. Everything I'm reading is 'long-term injury' so who knows.

They ruled it as an season ending injury for Wyatt

Cig said nothing that happened in the game would prevent Coop from playing in the Rose Bowl.  Rabjohns said in chat that he talked to him post game and there shouldn’t be any concern.

Rabjohns stayed silent on Daley when he was asked several times.

I've seen Rabjohns and Ostermann have been asked several times on twitter as well - silence. When is Cig's next press conference?

COACH CIGS**

[Pagoda]

IU media/reporters are not allowed to talk about injuries unless IU announces something.  So, we won't get anything direct from them.  

They won't get to ask Cig until the next presser, which is December 22nd.

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

No doubt about it that we we've been very fortunate this season with respect to losing players to injuries.  This chart lays it out very nicely.

Nice chart, thanks.

I also suspect Derek Owings is worth every penny, I'm glad we gave him that raise last year to keep him from going to USC.  Derek's system plus Cig's approach with shorter practices seems to work well (fingers crossed, knock on wood, etc.).  That's vital for us given our roster isn't as deep as some of the big programs we're competing against nowadays...
