Bryce Thompson Injury
- Thread starter mmckell
- Start date
100% out for the remainder of the season. I've had this surgery combined with a rotator cuff repair. My recovery was 6 months before I was allowed to do anything athletic not specifically prescribed as part of my rehab. No swinging a golf club or bat. I don't know if it's his shooting arm/shoulder, but I would guess 2 months minimum...and I don't see OKState playing beyond the 2nd week of March.
OkState will be looking for a new coach the second week of March.
Despite it being hard to cheer for a legacy who picked another school, I would never wish an injury on anyone. I hope he recovers well.
Right. I’m not a fan of his choice to pass us up, but never want to see a kid get hurt. At the end of the day, it’s just a game. Hopefully he’s alright.
So, I've started gearing the Doug Gottlieb push again. Is this the year OSU finally brings the guy who couldn't hit a FT to save his own life back?
I can’t imagine they would make that hire but nothing really surprises me anymore in college athletics.
He's fine, it's just a labrum injury. It still doesn't sit right with me how he rubbed it in our face that he didn't pick TU....he's been a massive bust.
Fine on the 2nd part. "Just a labrum" injury is where I take offense. Basically the equivalent of damaging the meniscus in your knee. If you've done either of them you know it's extremely painful to try and function normally. Tear a labrum and try to raise your arm up without discomfort. Let alone trying to play basketball at a high level.
Bryce is a decent mid level D1 player. Nothing more nothing less. He’s a kid who the recruiting services and coaches missed on in their evaluation. He simply lacks the athletic ability to be a high level player at the D1 level imo. That said….he’s been a model student athlete and appears to be a very good person. Things which will serve him well in his post basketball life.
He was expected to be a one and done since he was a five star McDonald’s All - American. But Self quickly saw he was too slow and too mechanical after shooting 500 shots a day. I think Rod knew this all along but was nice enough not to stand in front of a kid’s dream. Bryce still thought he was a MVP candidate at OSU , again bypassing TU where Rod was revered. He is now looking at a college coaching position or maybe a pharmaceutical job. The injuries played a part but over expectations is many times deadly for young kids.
Dam. I guess this means the OSU basketball coach is going to be out of a job soon.
