Nothing official yet on Stephen Daley but the chatter is getting more pessimistic.

Could be really bad news about the most impactful, disruptive guy on the entire defense.

If he’s injured and out, then you adjust.  Cignetti and Haines will find a reasonable replacement/solution.  The rest of the defense just needs to step up.  

[Pagoda 6,806]

Damn, what a gut punch.  My stomach sank.  And it really stinks for him too as a player.

Well, I went looking for something to help me cope with this potential bad news and the best I could find is our betting odds to win it all haven't changed since Saturday.  I'd assume the sharps know about this rumor.

I'd ask that no one challenge my questionable cope rationale in this difficult time.  Thank you.  ;-)

3.5 weeks to get better and gameplan

This would be an absolute kick in the dick and there's no way to spin it to be anything other than that. Had Wyatt not been out already I think we'd be fine but this is a big big blow.

Yes it absolutely would be. 

However, Haines is one of the brightest defensive minds in the country. We have to trust his ability to prepare without Daley (if thats the case).

Hopefully there's a young hungry edge on this roster thats ready to go. 

But lets hope for the best.

Home Jersey finds this news very displeasing...

Hoping for the best...

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 

[Home Jersey 17,987]

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

[Lebowski 4,309]

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. 

[Home Jersey 17,987]

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.
