On top of that, my bet is Frazier never suits up in a Miner uniform.
I guess Floyd now has an excuse if he doesn't win.
Floyd: “We lost an All American in Frazier; we lost a future All American in St. Pierre; we lost...
(Aside to Johnson: “Who else did we lose?” Johnson shuffles his papers and breathes through his mouth.)
Floyd: “Damn it, you get the point — we’ve lost a lot of players. But I’ve won everywhere I’ve been. I’m a winner. Things are gonna change. I can feel it.”
I would bet the same as well; although on the news, Bagley did mention that Floyd was "unsure" if Frazier would play this year due to the previous injury to his knee. He also mentioned that Frazier has not practiced this year. Based on all this, it seems unlikely Frazier will be able to ever play again. If so, you really have to question the medical evaluation performed on Frazier prior to bringing him in, if any.
Yeah I don't see anything that confirms Frazier is out for the year. Doesn't sound very optimistic though. I was mostly concerned about Jones.
Apparently Paul Thomas has an ankle injury and Tirus Smith has a concussion. Practice was canceled yesterday and today.
There was an option...but Floyd over recruited again and forced many players out, the last being Barrett. Since then 2 players (the 2 most highly rated BTW) and a walk-on have left and a another is still recovering. So now we are down to 11 players with a few injured and we have 2 freshman PGs.
Wondering if Floyd will pull the plug on himself like Kugler had the courage to do if the season starts off bad again? No need to sound the alarm bells until the season starts but this is getting old just like Floyds' excuses.
Unlike Kugler, I don’t think Floyd accepts any responsibility.
Dude the season hasn't started, and why is it Floyd's fault this guy hurt his knee? People chill out, they haven't even played a game, Geez!
His knee has been hurt. He didnt play the second half of last season. I hope he gets better, but not being able to practice is not a good sign.
Frazier practiced with the team yesterday.
I have no inside basketball info, but when practice first started, the EP Times posted a practice pic in one of their articles and Frazier was suited up and appeared to be practicing in the picture. So I was a bit confused when I read the comments yesterday stating that Frazier has not practiced yet?
I just reported what I thought I’d heard Bagley say. Happy for both of us to be wrong.
Why everyone concern about Frazier? He wasnt even on the team not that long ago. It doesnt matter if he plays or not. He is not part of the future he is just a rental player. If he plays and contributes that is great and if he doesnt who cares. We want the younger players to play anyways.
Yes I agree to a point, but he was a McD All-American. He hasn't done much in college so far, but if he has a good year and contributes at a high level then that could be another peice in the puzzle of getting UTEP to the NCAA. If he doesn't work out then no loss like you said.
Well we are just trying to get our hopes up and there you come busting our
bubble. Can you just let us dream for a bit. We know what you are stating
so please go check and see if the your kitten gave birth to some cows.
Go Miners...
I never said that. I was more concerned with Jones supposed knee injury. I agree about Frazier and I have a curbed enthusiasm about him. I even mentioned on MinerRush that we don't need a volume shooter on this team. We need someone that can contribute at a high level and help us to the NCAA. If Frazier is a success then more power to him.
What do you mean you guys just cause one or two were concerned does not
mean the rest of us are.
Wake up and smell the coffee.
Go Miners...
