Scots will be fine! RDL will work his magic... As to you Mr.Watts I am happy to see you are playing again. Your Rocky Top Team could have used you.

I do want to be with you " I just got married"

well, I have received the clearance from RDL and now for the bad news. Two of the scots players are likely out for the season. Ben Williamson has torn his ACL and is going to have surgery. On top of that, freshman Wes Lambert has broken his ankle and will miss most of the year.
Medical redshirt for both of them...right?

Not even needed since the season hasn't started yet.

Phooey!

Opportunity time for some shooters to step up. Any nominations out there?

Broken ankles are not all the same, so maybe this break is not the really bad kind and Wes can play this year. Without Ben, that might be useful.

I do not know of any Not Awful ACL injuries

Well, for me, it is a matter of respect for all 3 of them.

Spencer Beaty · July 18, 2008, 03:19:48 AM

This ankle break was one of those pretty dang bad ones... Grubb's moves were breaking ankles and tearing knees.

scottiedoug · July 18, 2008, 09:56:26 AM

Ban Grubb from open gym!!!

I was saying that there is no need for a medical redshirt.

MCScotsFan · July 18, 2008, 12:24:56 PM

OK, I thought you meant waiting to say until he felt cleared.

Can't ban Grubb from Open Gym. These guys have to know what they can grow up to be like if they work hard enough!!

scottiedoug · July 18, 2008, 02:55:30 PM

It is too bad that the two young men who got hurt were among the ones who were really working hard this summer. Can't be good enough to lead the Scots into the NCAA tournament without hard work and hard work increases the chances you get hurt. It is safer on the couch but that's not what it takes! I hope the others do not come to the wrong conclusions about the necessity of getting ready.

I wonder if the rest of the first year players really understand the differences from high school that they are going to encounter as they learn how to play for RDL....

mattgrubb · July 20, 2008, 11:54:39 AM

some of the freshmen are working hard and doing really well, there is a lot of hard work out of this group for such a young group

RDL has tried to ban me from open gym many times, but the problem is i am usually number 10 in the gym

Spencer Beaty · July 20, 2008, 11:32:09 PM

well, there could be some hope from young lambert yet. He is actually not even sure if it is broken, but the doctor says there could be some ligament damage which would be equally bad. I think he goes to the doctor for an MRI on Mon or Tues. Let's hope it isn't as serious as it seemed.

coachwgh · July 21, 2008, 09:28:39 AM

I may not have the best team in the world but I do have the best baby in the world. We have been blessed with the happiest baby I have ever seen. He eats and sleeps with such vigor that it is awe inspiring. My summer travel has really put a damper on my summer league play. We are 3-1 with the only loss coming in the game that I played in. We got two games this week and hopefully losing with me is not a pattern. Our PG situation should be better than it ever has been this season and beyond. Still no dominate size but continued developement in the post. Injuries are something that everyone has to deal with and it won't be the first time that Maryville has had to do it. Not many people outside of the Scot domain know that Raul played his entire senior season with a hang nail on his pinky finger. That guy is a beast...

GSAC Killer · July 21, 2008, 10:44:04 AM

Warren G you are the man!

It was a real serious injury. Could you imagine if I was healthy, we only won 45 games my two years at MC..

http://www.govolsxtra.com/news/2008/jul/05/hopson-vs-smith-made-rocky-royal/ Final Rocky Top Stats... Finished Top 10 in FTs and 3pts.(not a good %) Averaged 15ppg and 7apg. Not to shabbbbbbby for a Cuban who is turning 27 and is friends with Brent Watts. It takes a special person to stay on the phone with that guy.

I hope to see Jordan Damron and Wes Lambert in it next year..

I think Dustin Brown from Heritage High School, could help if he puts his mind to it. Needs to be more agressive!

mattgrubb · July 21, 2008, 01:55:29 PM

notice in those stats, that my team was way up there in all the stats
