Dotson out tonight
-
-
Did not attend shoot around.
Team struggled scoring with him. Cant imagine what 40 minutes looks like without.
Guess Iāll hope for the best but this doesnāt look good at all

thank GOD itās Oklahoma

Was hopping on to post this. Not great, but it will probably do him some good.
-
@jayballer73 Could probably win the next 3 games without Dot.
-
I honestly would be surprised but letās see how this one goes. Obviously someone tonight is going to have a career night if we have a chance
-
I donāt like this quote at all from yesterday. Clearly full of cr*p if Dotson doesnāt play, but I donāt like it because it really places Dotson in a tough position.
āItās a hip pointer,ā Self reiterated. āSo itās going to be sore regardless. But itās not one of those things thatās threatening to make it where you canāt play. But certainly, whenever you get it hit, it can make it uncomfortable where youāre thinking about it all the time. So heās going to have to be mentally tough to get through that, but he can do that.ā
-
KU also cut Baylorās lead to 5 over the first few minutes of the second half with Dotson on the bench and Garrett running point and Baylor extended back out to double digits after Dotson came back in.
-
lots of media talk going on that - - -MORE then a hip pointer
-
Weāll be fine without him in this one, interesting that they wait this long to announce.

wouldnāt put a lot into anything yet myself. - Just came across on the local sports program I was listening to out of Topeka , talking about how there seems to be a lot of talk in the media. - - Thing is though they didnāt come out and say WHAT it would be if it was.
Somebody mentioned yesterday I believe that there was talk about it being more , they mentioned what it was then but I canāt remember where I read it at.
iām not real worried - - - -YET - - I know I canāt spell this right , hell Iām not even sure what it is but something about Lbyum tear - Iām sorry again I know itās not spelt right

This post is deleted!
-
@BShark hip too
-
Is the labrum tear confirmed?
-
Had a friend that had a chiefs surgeon do his, both hips. Golf! I donāt know, would have to do mri. My boys had labral tears in shoulders-fb.
-
Seems an odd spot where he was hurting for a labral tear. More hip pointer to me.
-
More socket area, I think, like shoulder. ??
-
@Crimsonorblue22 agree
-
Iām doing pt for hip pointer now, hurts in that area.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Right - You can get that tear from impact. Itās just really flexible rubber-like cartilage in the socket. I heard it explained one time but have never known anyone personally that had that tear and have no idea on recovery time, etc.

Thank you - -thatās what I was talking about, but totally messed it up

I agree. The way he was holding his outer hip, it didnāt look like where a labrum tear would cause pain. I went back and watched his mini-dunk and he seemed to have hurt or aggravated it on that. IMO. My initials are DR, but Iām not a doctor. Got hip slammed several times before that dunk trying to go around screens, so some prior contact also might have been the cause. He definitely felt it on that dunk though.
-
According to the tape from the coaches they said he hurt it on a screen. Iāll have to take a look at that dunk
-
After what happened with people questioning Dokeās toughness last year before we knew it was the same injury as his freshman year, Iām not going to speculate on Dotsonās toughness and severity of his hip injury right now because it may end up being much more severe than a standard hip pointer.
-
@BeddieKU23 it wonāt be easy for sure
-
Labral tear is more wear and tear like a golf swing. But Iām going by my friends injury
-
Waitā¦ who is saying he needs surgery?? That hasnāt been reported anywhere.
-
@Woodrow if itās a labral tear, as far as we know, itās not.

Can be both -
-
@HighEliteMajor eww, thinking about mine.
-
@Woodrow people are just jumping to conclusions without any basis.
-
Wonder if theyāve done an mri on his hip?
-
Hot rumor is heās out until February but just a rumor until something more concrete comes out
-
@FarmerJayhawk I donāt know how they would know, hard to tell w/hip pointer.

Ouch, at least the rumor isnāt shutting it down to protect draft prospects.
-
If he is out until Feb at least this is a soft part of the schedule. Texas, KSU, Tenn, Okie Lite.

Good point. Was looking at the slate coming up and if they think resting him during this part of the schedule could save his season at least there are no games we wouldnāt be favored/expected to win (except our yearly dump in Stillwater of course)
-
This team is no good unless Dotson is healthy. If he needs rest to be healthy in March heād better get plenty of rest. The games donāt matter much now.
-
I think Dotson being out for a few games could end up being a positive long-term. Itās going to force guys to step up that otherwise wouldnāt have. If Ochai, Moss and Garrett all gain some confidence with him out of the lineup, look out.
Sort of like the Chiefs having to find a way to win without Mahomes for a few games. The defense figured out some things about themselves during that stretch and when Pat got back we went on a tear.
Hopefully this is a similar effect. We have to find a way to generate offense from the other guard positions. And you canāt bank on Moss hitting 6 threes every night, but it was good to see. Garrett going for 15 and literally blowing by whoever he wanted to was impressive. But to really have a shot to win it all we still need to get Ochai going some way some how.
-
Maybe moss needs to start to get in his rhythm? Do it! Need pts!
-
Definitely bad news. Not trying to be a downer but Dotson has struggled all year, and the injury might well amplify those struggles (i.e. trying to do too much when he does come back) and hurt team chemistry. I hope Iām wrong.
-
Iād hate to see Dotson actually āstrugglingā.
-
Me when I see people hating on Dotson:
-
I think it is a positive to rest Devon right now and make the team go it alone.
These guys need pressure to step up. Who will it be?
This change forces everyone out of their comfort zones and we should become a tougher team because of it.
Devon should become better by sitting on the bench and watching a few games, taking mental notes on how he must adapt to make us a better team.
Our coaches need to be pushed to discover new sets, plays and how to score the ball and put more points on the board.
And I was getting worried everyone was starting to believe we are such a monster defensive team! We are not! I think we all get excited to finally see any of our guys play a little defense for a change!
Give us a game where our defense hustles as much as Nova or Baylor and we will flat out āpancakeā our opponent! Note: ādefenseā also means sealing boards and diving for 50/50 balls.
-
Anybody know when och hurt his back, what play? I didnāt notice.
-
Our D will probably suffer now w/dot avoiding contact, ochās back and marcusās ankles. I was
about dokes hand on that block before half.
