That hammy is going to bug him all year long. Rough draw for the kid.
Ouch, they will definitely be toast if he can’t go or is nagged by it all year. Plus being a sure fire 1-3 pick he could shut it down if it keeps up.
Sorry for the kid.
Any karma that comes to Kansas and Self is well deserved for turning the Jailhawk basketball program into a work release program for violent women abusers.

Is it just me or do injuries seem to be happening a lot more in sports these days?
Players don’t play anymore. NBA players sit out when they feel like it and college too. Got a headache ? Just take a couple weeks off you’ll still get paid. If they are seriously injured that’s one thing but I don’t think they are 50% of the time.
I don't know but it sure seems like we have had way, way more more than our fair share.
I think injuries seem to occur more frequently now because players are playing one specific sport so much. These really good players are playing basketball year round. High school season ends go to AAU. They’re playing so much basketball before they get to college.
Used to guys played basketball, then baseball and next football. Totally different sports where you approach them and train different. It’s like having 3 cars to drive. You can avoid racking up miles on one and increase their longevity. Whereas playing basketball year round non stop is just taking one car and driving it over and over.

I dont think they are any worse now. They weren't reported as much without social media around.
They do, every sport it seems guys are dropping like flies. We obviously have more technology to determine more injuries but I think year round play for one sport is causing a lot of injuries.
That’s completely conjecture. There is a wide range of hamstring injury. I’ve healed them in two weeks. Even less. If it didn’t rupture then you have zero knowledge.
If Peterson is injured, any game he is out is a HUGE gift for the opposition. I don't like to see injuries happen, I hope he gets back to 100%. Sucks to see players get injured, period.
Peterson should shut it down. He's already proven he's a top 3 pick.
It would probably be enough to drive Self into retirement.
A win-win-win. Peterson makes the NBA. Self retires. UK gains more wins on Kansas.

Thanks, but context from the article is that he's been dealing with this for "several weeks" going all the way back to the preseason. It's gotten worse since then, so it's clearly already a lingering issue.
Inference.
