I'm guessing we'll be in the dark until about 30 minutes before the first game he plays in, which is just fine as far as I'm concerned.Nothing has been officially stated, just pure speculation on everyone's part at this juncture.

Do not forget brain surgeonsBut we have a tremendous amount of Doctors and Physical Therapists on here.
Obviously, it will take either our D throwing them off their rhythm enough to win or our offense being on fire. The first is much more likely and what we need to bank on.
They did scans and found no structural damage, so it's more what the player can take and whether his knee can get loose. No structural damage means not even a small tear, so no reason to believe he'll be at risk when he gets back.Speculation of 1 - 2 weeks, but no one knows exactly what the injury is or how he will respond to treatment. One would think the staff will err on the side of caution.
Depends on the injury, which we still don’t and may never know. If it’s a sprain or pull, that could certainly be aggravated by pushing it too soon. Agree about the risk of a structural injury. He has the best care he could get anywhere. He’s ready when he’s ready.They did scans and found no structural damage, so it's more what the player can take and whether his knee can get loose.

4 weeks is probably the most likely outcome.
Sounds reasonable. Be nice to at least get him back for the Iowa game, so he can shake some of the rust off prior to B1G tourney.4 weeks is probably the most likely outcome.
My wife recently had a similar injury and that was about how long it took for her knee ligaments to get strong again.4 weeks is probably the most likely outcome.

My guess is half that time, there was zero structural damage. One poster said, yeah, 4 weeks is how long my wife took to get back. Ayo is in a lot better shape than your wife and his muscles are way stronger, unless she's some kind of workout warrior. He's going to get way more therapy than the normal person would as well.4 weeks is probably the most likely outcome.
2 is best case scenario.My guess is half that time, there was zero structural damage. One poster said, yeah, 4 weeks is how long my wife took to get back.

1. She is a workout warrior (although I will concede not nearly at the scale of a D1 athlete).My guess is half that time, there was zero structural damage.

Our ability to score is going to be an issue against their size, especially in the backcourt. Ayo's size at the guard position is going to be missed badly. Scoring depth also will be a problem. Finally, who will be the guy that holds it together if things get tight in the final minutes or who will be the guy to shut down a run with a critical bucket? These next two games are going to be rough.
Rutgers. 71
Good Guys. 55
That place is going to be going bananas and I just don't see an area where we have an advantage given our current situation.
If he's out until B10 tourny than were not going to make the danceHe needs at minimum a B1G tourney game. Can't go cold into the dance.
I know that I'm not a ray of sunshine on this one, but when I look at that Rutgers roster, I don't think they play anyone under 6'4". At 6'5", Ayo had the vision to be able to see the floor and enter the ball into the post, which is not a strength of our guards as a group.You sir are a rain cloud. Worried about size in the backcourt? In their entire careers there haven’t been many times Frazier or Dre have had a size advantage playing basketball. A lot of Dre’s game is making plays in the trees. The biggest size advantage on the floor actually belongs to us, and, despite being in a slump Giorgi has been an absolute nightmare for Rutgers. Not claiming all of that will necessarily be a deciding factor in this game, but we have some advantages too.

Not necessarily true. The schedule, on the whole, is favorable down the stretch. I like our ability to beat Northwestern and Nebraska for sure. Iowa and Indiana at home are VERY winnable(should be wins). These next two.....very tough, with or without Ayo.If he's out until B10 tourny than were not going to make the dance
