Kam Williams Broken Foot per Mark Pope
- Thread starter I’m The Village Idiot
- Start date
This injury hurts. It’s a tough pill to swallow as Williams was finally coming into his own here. Big loss for us, going to need others to step up.
Man this seems to be a problem. Do we even have a strength and condition program?
We got any Cajun Cats? Because somebody needs to cut some chicken heads off or something.
Hmm so the trend of bad luck injuries continues. I remember at one point , Coach Cal being desperate was not disagreeing to bring a priest to bless the facilities and Rupp Arena. Did he actually do it? Maybe we should…
You could see on Coach Pope face how disappointed was when he said the Cam foot is broken and is a major blow to us.

For a while ?
More like the season smh

I mean wth??? Like what is it with injuries and this program??? Hope he heals quick and we have him for next year, seemed to be really coming on and finding his niche on this team.
Heartbreaking for Kam and the team! I believe we are truly cursed! It’s time to burn Hawthorne’s redshirt. Get that kid reps
Wow can't make this **** up were starting to play better and the hits just keep coming.
I think freak injuries often just happen. I don't think a S/C program guards you against a broken foot.
Just can't believe our misfortune with injuries though, we have more than had our share of them and this one really hurts as he was really playing well. Depth definitely takes a hit.
Horrible news for both sides of the ball. He was playing his best basketball and this really hurts bad. If there’s anything to this bringing guys in we need two now to come in and actually play minutes. Just terrible. I know none of that is happening so let’s roll and win as many as we can.
This one hurts. He had become one of our most reliable two way players over the past month or so, and we don’t really have anyone else on the roster who approximates his skillset to step into the gap. Unbelievably bad injury luck this year.
I know injuries happen but this a getting pretty ridiculous.
Pope has to reevaluate how they train and do things.

Can't blame crap like this on the strength and conditioning program LMAO
Stop it
We started winning when we shortened the rotation. Looked like Noah took some if his minutes ans thats a huge dropoff
Man stop it LMAO
Blame a broken foot on the coach. Mercy dude
Pope doesn't believe in conditioning like the old days. He uses analytics to determine "rest"
If I was Pope I’d be calling a priest in the morning. This is insane.
Didn’t see it so I I can’t perfectly say. But sometimes S&C doesn’t mean jack crap if you land on something wrong or fall just the right way.
I worked with a dude who was in great shape. Ran Ironman events. Took care of himself. Was out on a trial event one weekend and started a rope net climb. RIIIIIIIIIP. Literally tore his bicep. Went tot he doctor and it was just literally a freak tear. Dude did protein diets, ate well. Just happened.
Injuries can’t be predicted. And you can be in great shape and still injure yourself.
There’s no conditioning program in history that can prevent broken bones. I know it’s natural to look for some underlying cause when we’ve seemed to have unusually bad injury luck in back to back seasons with Pope, but that isn’t actually the answer in this case.
It didn't even look like anything. RIght after he shot free throws @18:40 of the 2nd half.
Injuries can derail a coach. It happens, streak of injuries lead to bad years lead to a cycle of bad seasons lead to coaching change.
One thing he might want to do, I would suggest, is stop recruiting injured players and also try and get some ball handlers just in case. Might help to not have your top signed recruit coming in with a bad knee for starters.
Don’t know what to say about it anymore. I went back and looked at every blue blood for the last 10 years. I didn’t spend much time doing it obviously, was pretty long. But I do not see Duke or Kansas for sure having injury problems like this. Checked in conference over a few days at work, Tennessee and Florida didn’t have these problems either that I saw. Checked TN just because being from there I wanted to check and ask some friends. Nope.

Just our luck with injuries mounting up. Wishing Kam a speedy recovery.
Hawthorne and Potter both need to burn the RS. Potter is the backup 5 that can play 5 out. Garrison isn't playing like a 5.
So is this season ending? What is best case scenario for a broken foot? Can't imagine anything less than a month at least.
