Mo D out v Gonzaga
- Thread starter BlueWorldOrder74
- Start date
Hate to be a pessimist, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Mo transfers out at semester break or doesn’t play another minute this season. Something seems off.
Yeah I don’t buy this is a rolled ankle.
We brought Mo here because last years team lacked toughness. This is supposed to be our toughest player? Jeff Sheppard played with a black leg for 3 straight days in the ‘98 SEC tournament. I guess Mo D is “2025 tough”.

Torn ligament according to Pope:
“It’s just — these high-ankle sprains are super painful, and it’s, without getting too specific, it’s just a torn ligament between the tibia and fibula.”
Mo Dioubate is out vs. Gonzaga, 'we'll see' if Jaland Lowe can play
Kentucky will certainly not have one injured Wildcat back against Gonzaga while another is trending toward a return sooner rather than later
Ankle sprain does not generally take this long to recover from. Especially at a major university and the medical staff.
Something is off, I guess if the rumors were true, he cannot get over losing his girlfriend to another player.

I hope the doctors can successfully reattach his foot.

Um...wouldn't a torn ligament require surgery?
NVM. Just googled it. Evidently only grade 3 complete tears require surgery, but grade 2 tear is 3 - 6 weeks recovery, 8 - 10 weeks for grade 3 tear non complete tear.

High ankle sprains can take a while to come back from. It’s the worse kind
Maybe I just missed it before, but this is the first time I remember seeing it specified that he has a high ankle sprain. That’s an injury a fair bit more severe than what people usually refer to as a “sprained ankle”, and can have a significantly longer recovery time. Not good news.
I'd rather have Jelavic at the 4 anyway. But would like MoD back for some bench depth.
It sucks, but next man up. Jelavic will benefit greatly from MO D being out, for what ever reason. I hate it for him, either way. If it's the later part, you don't just get over that ****.
Given that currently things dont look great for us this year then let's get Jelavic a ton of minutes. He has star potential and he did a nice job against Wilson.
Similar injury to Tua, just maybe a different grade. The bad ones sometimes have the "tightrope" procedure or a screw across the syndesmosis.
Cam couldn't take advantage of the opportunity but hopefully Jelavic can. If Pope would post him up he would do well I believe. He has some nice moves in the paint.
The body language of all the players is extremely bad, just seems something is going on

I agree he does have some nice moves down in the paint plus he is used to playing against grown men overseas.
The kid has an ankle that no one on this board could play with and half the posts are how the kid is faking an injury. If he did transfer at semester, it wouldn't be because of Pope, it would be because he started reading this board
Yup agreed, it’s getting ridiculous.
Hopefully they can reattach his balls.
Yeah they suck and they know they suck. The injuries have taken a toll on them and obviously they have no swagger, no belief. They still don’t play for each other, lots of selfish play. Whether that is due to ability, lack of players, or chemistry issues we don’t know.

Yes he needs to post his yearned on the block and go to work stop hacking up the 3 use the mid range to
If he will recognize the double team, and can pass out of it, will be really nice. Playing time will answer that. He can be a good one with playing time for sure.
I am wondering if you could play with the same injury or if you would say that to Mo's face. My guess is No and Hell No
Drop off between MD and Jelavic is very minimal anyway. If any! Wash in the end.
A moderate high ankle spa rain can take 6-8 weeks and a tear can require surgery.
Cooper Flagg nearly lost his life to an ankle sprain last year and played the next game. He must be 1980’s tough.
I’m just screwing around. I would say it to his face, what will he do? Attack me? I’d welcome that, he is a guy who can actually pay.
Need depth, still think Mo D is a better defender. I like Jellly’s ability to stretch the floor better for sure.
I'm with you
. Think he has a nice skillset and deserves us investing in him. Maybe he can help hit the open man when he gets double teamed. Could be a good guy to play alongside JQ or MM.
If that isn't successful they can swap out the foot with another leg and have one long toe.
I’m hoping he just leaves at Christmas break. We aren’t dumb. We know there’s bs going on.
Great news! This will give Pope's apologists another excuse when Gonzaga beats Kentucky by 7 to 10 points Friday.
I was getting worried there for a second.
