I’m starting to think this is a future NCAA regulations issue…?He isn't injured.

Clearly there are things he can’t say. The national media still thinks it’s injury related.Are you hoping we continue to play 20 questions, or will you offer actual information? These vague retorts simply feed the rumor mill.
What's the alternative here? He either stays completely quiet or spills the information. Clearly something that the staff and or curbelo doesn't want out right now for the general public.Are you hoping we continue to play 20 questions, or will you offer actual information?

He/she has to protect his/her position.Are you hoping we continue to play 20 questions, or will you offer actual information? These vague retorts simply feed the rumor mill.
Substitute "illness" or "condition" for "injury"...same question applies: is he practicing at all? Or has he taken a break from basketball entirely to get right?He isn't injured.
Thank you. If Brad and or Belo wanted it out there then Brad would inform everyone during his weekly press conferences. Clearly they want to respect Belo's privacy with matter. Just informing it isn't injury related.What's the alternative here? He either stays completely quiet or spills the information.

0440 is just stopping the rumors that it's an injury preventing curbelo from playing. He's not eliciting questions he's just shooting down rumors he knows are false.
If it's persistent post-concussion symptoms (again, maybe it's not), then he would technically be able to pass the concussion protocol. At that point it seems it's more of a health issue than an injury issue.Wouldn't concussion protocol be an injury?
I can’t imagine the Twitter vitriol that came his way after the Marquette game was helpful. Just a reminder that if you’re only on this board to complain after a loss but are conspicuously absent in the postgame threads after a W then I question your fandom.He's a college kid with a lot of weight on his shoulders. High expectations before the season. He should be back on the court this year and will be key in a deep March Madness run. Just remember he's a young kid and we are all hoping to see him back soon. We have a really good squad regardless.
This may be one of the unintended consequences of the NIL. In the past, coaches have been able to mandate players shut down all social media during the season, but if athletes are making money by being influencers on Insta, or promoting products on Twitter, a social media shutdown may not be financially feasible. So then it's up to the athlete to ignore/handle the inevitable trolling.I can’t imagine the Twitter vitriol that came his way after the Marquette game was helpful.

What's unfortunate is many folks are still doing it all over social media. "When he comes back they should bench him." "We need someone who doesn't read his press clippings." "We are better now than we were when Curbelo was playing." He's really only had 1 bad game and 1 OK game, both coming off a concussion. He's easily the best ball handler on the team, the one that can break a press the best, and many of his turnovers were due to his instincts being better than the person he was passing to.I can’t imagine the Twitter vitriol that came his way after the Marquette game was helpful.

People did the same thing to Ayo. It's crazy how quickly fans turn on you. I think this is true across all teams and sports, but it's just disappointing.What's unfortunate is many folks are still doing it all over social media. "When he comes back they should bench him."

I'm still on the Curbelo train. Criticism of course is warranted, but damn he really caught a disproportionate amount of hell to start the season.
Could it be academic?No.
He isn't in concussion protocol either.
It’s insane. The “a day in the life” video with Kofi should be mandatory viewing. These guys are giving everything to the school from the crack of dawn until well after sunset, while going to school, traveling nonstop, etc.What's unfortunate is many folks are still doing it all over social media.

I'm not sure they should know better. It's the same group that used to call into sports talk radio (and still do), but now they have no filter in the form of people manning the phones. It's always been there. There is just now a direct line from the crazies to the athletes.It’s insane. The “a day in the life” video with Kofi should be mandatory viewing.

Social media has enabled a generation of keyboard warriors that should know better.
Anyway, I digress. Hope the come out breathing fire tonight and that Kofi has between 10 and 40 dunks.
Maybe we had too high hopes for him? I’ll probably get some pushback from this post, but I’m not ready to lose curbelo, nor do i think we are better off without him.
