Here's hoping Luke heals quickly and can come to the team soon. And if not, this would be the time to consider maybe a red shirt year if things don't work out as well as it was hoped to be.
Luke Goode suffers foot injury

We should take out the appendix of anyone who's out for 2 months.
Don’t agree. A break is often better than a sprain or tear. If the surgery goes well we should definitely see him this year. Biggest challenge will be catching up on conditioning
So we do have a bacta tank...As Josh pointed out during his Ubben tour, the physical therapy area has the finest recovery room in the country.
Hopefully it's a Jones fracture and not a stress fracture, I imagine their nutrition is on point with their personalized plans. Otherwise there may be more things to be worried about. Usually a ligament tear in the foot would be a season ender or worse so I agree.
Medical red shirt is my guess with no medical knowledge.
Do we know what type of foot injury it is other than it requires surgery and he is projected to be out til January?
Too many unknowns to make any guesses yet. My biggest concern will be conditioning when he returns

I too wish to add that I am not a doctor, but I pay attention to sports in general (have also broken my foot a couple times). Foot surgery + basketball + return within 3-4 months is typically a “choose two” scenario. Dang, hoping for an outlier in this case. Love what LG brings to this squad

count me among the nondoctors here. But I thought that some of these surgeries are less required these days but rather recommended. Modern medicine basically has ways to use surgery to improve outcomes on fractures that previously might have had only a cast.

- Chicago but not there anymore
My brother is a doctor so ask me anything
I am a sports doctor and my professional opinion is let's get that damn bacta tank lol
They will not miss him at anytime this season. The more talented players that are now on the roster will makeup they difference while Goode is out. Plenty of better options than Podz.
Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
We sure have a lot of injuries for having the finest S&C Coach and recovery room in the country.
I'm not saying our facilities aren't top notch but I've never heard another P5 coach, AD or recruit coming out of an official saying they had the second best only to UIUC.
With big strong people flying around on a hardwood floor, injuries are inevitably going to happen.
Belo and Kofi’s concusssions, Luke’s foot, etc. are all going to happen regardless of S&C.
In fact, I think you could make an argument that our S&C has prevented or mitigated several soft tissue injuries over the years the way fletch focuses on flexibility, range of motion, strengthening joints etc.
The two most prominent that come to mind are Ayo (I was sure he blew out his knee on that wet spot against MSU) and Trent (a lot of people have forgotten how bad Trent’s injury looked in KC or Marquette maybe? But I thought he was done for the year too). Both wound up being able to play in a week to 10 days which were both small
miracles.
We are now short on active scholarship players to start the season. Everyone plays and gets experience!
