Bryce Washington type guy at a wing position.Quote:

It obviously wasn’t a grades issue. Have you heard about what transpired over the summer after he graduated?Quote:

He had several D1 players on his HS team and got overlooked. Also he was considering going to the business school which probably had some schools think he wAs not worth pursuing. He graduated from junior college in one year which is why he has three years of university eligibility. He probably will graduate from here in May of 2021.Quote:

No guarantee things will stay that way. We can only hope that all the knee surgeries have corrected the major problems with those guys. Often times with today's medical techniques, the player actually comes back stronger than before he was hurt I recognize that is a hope and not a certainty. Just like it is not a certainty that they won't recover well. Concern-yes, definite problem-noQuote:

So does Marlin get pass when those guys are all hurt again next year...?Quote:

If you guys are so certain players injured will once again be hurt, I am sure there are some wagering places that will take your bet. Find one and you may make a few dollars.Quote:

All people are saying is injury seems to follow some.
I understand that and Kobe may be one. What I am saying if he gets hurt again it won't be his knee. Ankles, shoulders, fingers etc. are all in play however.Quote:

We’ve all seen dozens of pro athletes suffer multiple injuries in the same knee often leading to shorten careers.Quote:
