[Tango Two]

Is fine per Pike

 

[NewJerseyHawk]

good news!!

 

[ruman]

Lighting those candles in church today worked!

 

[RickB113]

Huge. Happy for him. And us.

 

[Tango Two]

Back to practice Tuesday or Wednesday per Pike

 

[RU82]

That's huge for us.

 

[MadRU]

Wow great news. Really happy for Mike

 

[ru44231]

Phew. Awesome news.

 

[higgins3]

Damn. If anyone could fall down, and get back up as quickly as Williams, I would be surprised.

Trying to make a banner for this kid come Friday. No one more deserving of it.

 

[higgins3]

How was this reported?Court club?

I was expecting the worst. Damn. I am so happy for Williams.

 

[Mr_Twister]

I always admired the senior seasons of former Rutgers players Damon Santiago (95-96) and Eric Clark (97-98) from days of yore. Both of these guys blossomed their senior year. Have my fingers crossed that Mike Williams is the next Damon Santiago or Eric Clark.

[Rutgers36]

Thank the Lord!

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Yippee!!!

 

[knight82]

Mike may very well be the player we can least afford to lose. Great news that he's ok!

 

[ScarletLongIsland_rivals]

Can breathe again

 

[BillyC80]

Awesome news for Mike, for the players and coaches, and for us!

 

[Dpgru]

Now we are officially ready for Friday!!!

 

[RoxboroughKnight]

That’s awesome news! Couldn’t be happier for Mike. Looking forward to watching him finish out his career on the Banks!

 

[RU-Choppin-Ohio]

I was not worried. If it was serious, he would have stayed in the locker room or at the very least been on crutches. Unless there is a NJ-wide crutches shortage.....lol

 

[Degaz-RU]

That huge WHOOOOOSH you just heard was ScarletNation breathing a huge sigh of relief.

 

[MV9000]

LFG! Looked way worse than it was i suppose. Good on Mike. WOuld be a shame to see him have to redshirt his sr year.

Agree with Choppin tho, i was a little relieved to see him sit right back on the bench and try and get in a few huddles. Tough kid.

 

[SJScarlet]

Big spontaneous round of applause at the Court Club meeting when coach just matter-of-factly gave that news.

 

[anon_0k9zlfz6lz9oy]

Yugeeee. Mike brings so much energy and grit to this team even if outside shots dont fall. He just plays so damn hard

 

[xkiesterx]

How was this reported?Court club?

I was expecting the worst. Damn. I am so happy for Williams.

Yup. He let us know before we even asked. Someone later directly asked when he might practice and he said tomorrow or the next day. Seemed totally cavalier about it, too.

 

[Knights 1212]

This was the best news I ever heard at a Court Club meeting. I am so happy for Mike.

 

[Tango Two]

Yes great news

 

[BigEastPhil]

Coach said that Mike Williams will be practicing as soon as tomorrow or Wed. Great news indeed and certainly the best news of the night!

 

[HeyHuey]

Sit him Friday.

 

[RUChoppin]

Great news!

 

[RUinFla]

I was not worried. If it was serious, he would have stayed in the locker room or at the very least been on crutches. Unless there is a NJ-wide crutches shortage.....lol

Chop, wish you had posted that in the thread and saved some of us some needless fretting, but thanks.

I hesitated because I am in Ohio and I did not know if there was a crutch shortage in NJ....Next time I will get some info on the supply as soon as possible and then post....save you the heartache.

 

[rudad02]

Great news!

 

[higgins3]

Yup. He let us know before we even asked. Someone later directly asked when he might practice and he said tomorrow or the next day. Seemed totally cavalier about it, too.

Did he say anything else?I think if you were at the game, you would be surprised that Mike Williams would be ready to play so soon. Did he say what the diagnosis was or anything?

 

[ScarletLongIsland_rivals]

Is it possible that the knee was just dislocated?

 

[rubaseball78_rivals]

Is it possible that the knee was just dislocated?

Would be out a lot longer than a couple practices if it was dislocated.

 

[RUChoppin]

Would be out a lot longer than a couple practices if it was dislocated.

Having dislocated both kneecaps in HS, I can confirm this.

2 of my favorites. Eric Clark's last game was in the BE semi final against UConn. Eric was such a class act that when he was taken out of the game at the end, one of the refs came up to him to shake his hand.
Mike Williams can be that kind of player

 

[BKIn118]

I asked Coach to address the question immediately so there wouldn't be hands popping up before he even got settled in... Especially since it was good news
