Owner Real Deal Posted February 13, 2013 Owner Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 Huge loss, not just for Kentucky, but for him...because it's most likely a torn ACL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Feelgood Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 Ouch...That doesn't look good at all. Hopefully its not a Livingston incident. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChosenOne Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 Always tough to see a player go down with such an injury, doesn't help that tht it was on a hustle play and he was top rank in the entire NCAA. Hope him a speedy recovery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DunkinDerozan Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 Maybe another year in college will do him good. Still a huge loss. I hope he has a good recovery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phightins Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 Really shitty situation for him. With that said, if he returns next year and is even 80% of the player he was pre-injury, look out! Undefeated season is a legit possibility.

Dr. Feelgood Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 I definitely think he needs to go to school for another year, maybe even two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Built Ford Tough Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 He isn't going back to school. He is still a top 5 pick with the potential of going 1st overall even with this injury. This draft is too weak at the top for him to fall much further than that. A torn ACL is still a very serious injury, but it isn't what it was 10 years ago. Teams aren't going to be scared off as much as they used to be with these types of injuries. PS: Kentucky got their asses handed to them by Tennessee today in their first game without Noel. They were down by, I think, 35 at one point and ended up losing by 30. If you didn't know, Tennessee has had two games this year where they didn't even score over 45 points, yet they almost drop 90 (88 to be exact) on Kentucky without Noel anchoring the middle.
