Shin splints
Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

Interesting. Given that the word from insiders like yourself is that Kofi is coming back and Hawkins is staying, are we recruiting him to come off the bench? I'm surprised he'd entertain that.

Why on EARTH did they never schedule us for a return game at DePaul’s new arena for the Gavitt thing?? DePaul would get its best student turnout of the year, and the arena would be 60%+ orange!

Heard he broke his hand back in February, I'm guessing he recovered from that already?
So how long do shin splints take to recover from?
Haven't been able to find out any details of his broken hand. Unless you punch a wall or fall just so and get a classic Boxer's fracture, a broken hand is not a common injury. Would be more worried about the wrist. I hope a good physical exam and Xrays of the wrist and of the hand are in order before inking the guy.
It can vary from a few day to a few months depending on the serverity of the injury There's no way to say exactly when your shin splints will go away. It depends on what caused them. People also heal at different rates; 3 to 6 months isn’t unusual.
Broken hand, ACL tear, shin splints.
Skyy would have fit right in with the 2021 Illini
Mine took about 3 days. Seemed like 3 months.
If it's around 3 months that's probably more mild to moderate bone stress injury than shin splints, at 6 months probably a stress fracture tbh. Or just never rested enough.
Shin splints are a catch-all term for pain in the front part of the lower leg. The differential diagnosis is muscle microtears or stress fracture. Most commonly it is on the inside edge of the tibia (bigger bone)/muscle junction, rather than on the front edge of the tibia/muscle junction. If it's on the more common inside area and is over a wide area, that takes physical therapy and activity adjustment ... time is quite variable. If it's on the front and over a wide area, that is a quick fix with roller pin and stretching. But, anytime the pain localizes to a one or two finger width area, that is a stress fracture until proven otherwise. And the front stress fracture is a lot worse than the inside stress fracture.

True, in most cases ice and rest clears it up.
True interest or backup option in case ColeHawk transfers?
Pru, I'm assuming you will be spending the evening with Mr. Walken for his birthday. I imagine the celebration will be lit. Come back in one piece.
Does this implicate anything about the staff's pursuit of TSJ?
Tibialis raises and hip adductor exercises are also great for prevention. There is a lack of both of those in most high school weight programs which leads to a lot of shin splint issues. Track and basketball usually have the most cases.
ColeHawk ain't leaving-this would be emergency if Kofi left

Same people would be calling us out if Kofi left and we didn't have a backup plan lol.
I would do no such thing.
