Partially torn … And it happened in June …
Timeline he got was 6-12 months … He’s on track for an early recovery as of now …
It’s real rough for him …
Nevermind....saw Indy's post above.
Do you happen to know if it was a contact injury or non-contact?
Any updates on guys that maybe haven't improved or progressed as hoped? I feel like all the talk right now is how amazing everyone has been lol.
Could Wagler start over Petrovic?
He literally just said Mihailo is a bit behind
I feel like sometimes if there's nothing extremely negative happening, we have to ask for it and/or manufacture it ourselves
Why? lol

I'll take a " shades of Feliz " anytime , anywhere........Feliz was the epitome of just friggin tough.....he really really was........and probably still is.......
Similarly, why yuck my yum of a question- don't like the question, scroll on. No need to be rude.
I will continue to say, Petrovic is the most important player we have because of the load I think he will have.
Indy, do you forsee Petro as the pure ball handling PG? Ive been under the impression that Petrovic is gonna have the ball ALOT. Am I wrong on that? How do you think Boswell and Petro coexist together?
If Petrovic is really good, IMO were gonna be VERY good as a team.
Sounds like Crocker will have the full empowerment to that defense.
Any chance they wait and see if the medical redshirt goes away? If he can’t play 26-27 season (without a legal challenge) playing a partial year makes more sense even if it’s February.
1. Stojakovic looks significantly more filled out than he did at Cal imo.
2. Petrovic is not as small as people here we're making him out to be. Brad is like 6'3-6'4 and he doesn't look much smaller.
3. Mirkovic looks like a villain in an 80s hockey movie.
I Think Mirk is gonna carve a really nice role out. Always good to have some Pizza Hut parking lot dudes. Also, the last guy who complained to the officials a lot (looking at you cohawk) was pretty dang good for us
Encouraging takeaways:
Mirkovic grew up playing point guard and remains very crafty with the ball, perhaps he could shift over if needed?
Jason sounds like he could play a traditional center role if needed and has developed rebounding, screening, and blocking shots
Worrisome takeaways:
Petrovic's process to getting approval to play is going worse than Tomi's last year. Part of me wonders if they should just play him without approval and see what happens.
Our defense is still a work in progress. This one was to be expected, but it's the way he said it that made it sound like they really haven't seen tangible improvements yet.

Very exciting about Wagler. When Ty went out I thought the most glaring weakness outside defense was backcourt/wing depth
If he's great, I'll still not believe them. The same hype comes out each year. I hope this year it pans out. But if it does I'll still be skeptical the following year.
To the insiders.. have any players maybe not risen up to expectations or how been disappointing so far through the summer?
Petrovic seems like the stock down.
Caught the Illini Inquirer podcast and those guys are very negative about Ty Rodger’s coming back this year. So what gives?
