Still confident there's a decent chance he is back before the month is over.

Gutted for Jake. That’s going to be a while.

Have a feeling that Jake will be dawning the Trent Frazier shoulder harness upon his return!
Jake had his face taped up heavy around his eye tonight before the shoulder injury. What happened there?

Random overly negative post toward ole Glenn here, but my mother indoctrinated me to hate when people misuse “myself.” It has a specific use, it isn’t just a formal version of “I” or “me.”

Few things:
I expect Jake to miss a good chunk of games. Unfortunate injury. We should see him again this season.
Lincoln Williams has a decent shot for Thursday.
I think they have Thanksgiving week circled to see if they can get Mirkovic some run before UConn. I expect him back sometime around that timeframe.
Next man up. Should be getting Lincoln back soon then Mirk sometime in the next month hopefully. Guys will need to step up.

Thank you.
We didn’t make Keaton our primary ball handler till after UConn last year. We had two freshmen almost effortlessly record triple doubles.
We’ll really, really miss Jake’s steady hand. But I hope that vacuum is filled with extra minutes for our awesome freshmen.
Maybe someone should try and sage Ubben... oh wait, nevermind.

For some reason I’m Fairleigh confident in our group of freshmen. It will dePennd on how well they defend and rebound. Last night was a very good indication of their ability to Duke it out before getting Mirk back healthy.
Zenn's time to shine. Have liked his minutes so far, he plays much more mature/physical than a standard freshmen.

UConn sure write humorous posts!
I can't like this enough. It's bad enough when so many people use it incorrectly for "me" which happens all the time, but instead of "I", that's a mortal sin. I went to his facebook page to let him know.Random overly negative post toward ole Glenn here, but my mother indoctrinated me to hate when people misuse “myself.” It has a specific use, it isn’t just a formal version of “I” or “me.”
All these freshman honestly! I’ve been very impressed with how mature and collected they’ve played thus far. Everyone feels integral to the overall team

It definitely sucks. Jake's experience, shooting, and leadership will be missed. That said, we're fortunate to have excellent depth. Zens shooting & Morillo's rebounding have been awesome.
Especially professional writers who do this kind of stuff.
Granted, he's a sportswriter.

Vaaks likes coming off the bench otherwise I would put him in the starting 5. You have to start Lincoln and Ethan.
