It's time for some good news on the injury front. Quantance may be back a lot sooner than we thought
Quantance cleared for 5 on 0 action per KSR
- Thread starter Burly Peters
- Start date
Anybody waiting for a JQ sighting in an actual game here are very likely to be disappointed.
Today in Pope's presser he mentioned JQ has a big test in about 3 weeks to see how his knee is progressing. Fingers crossed it will be good news--can't wait to get him on the court!
Hope this doesn’t play out like it did with another player. JV would have really helped us out that year. (I’m not mentioning the other guy)
We definitely need him!!! The kid is a phenomenal talent!!!!
Cal and Sharpe are long gone my guy.
Earliest is the first game in January. Honestly if we don’t see him by the time February starts we won’t see him at all.
My opinion has been he will be the difference between being a Sweet 16 team, or a National Title team.
If he gets medically cleared to play, he must play. Its really that simple.
Ohh, yea. They only do that for Cal.
what other players have committed to a team and sat down for no reason and the coach allowed it and they lied, didn’t play, and went pro?
What does Mark have in his past that suggest he would ever recruit a player that would intentionally sit out and not play when medically cleared.
Waiting on both. Maybe you can show some data of some kind instead of gifs.
If JQ is medically cleared to play I think Pope will play him.
Some seem to think otherwise. Why?

Change your tampon and put some vaginal cream up in there..
A couple million ain't a bad payday for two months of practices and games. Or however much we're paying.
Cleared for 5 versus 0? So, JQ and four other players can scrimmage against Bronny James?
James Wiseman ring a bell? He eventually left Memphis, but did basically the same thing.
And there have been others. It's not some new phenomenon. Sharpe stayed because they started getting NIL now.
There were rumors last year that Robinson was doing the same last year late in the season. Any proof he wasn't?
What proof was there of any coach doing it until they did it? Again, if it was what Robinson did last year, there would be your proof. And if it's what happens with JQ this year, then that's further proof.
Maybe you can show the dats for where it's never happened other than Cal and Sharpe?
All you're going to get is circular logic, gifs and emojis
Lol right? Nah it's no scrimmages yet.
I don’t think the issue is if Pope will play him or not, I think the issue is just going to be him getting healthy. Most things (based off JQ’s surgery date) suggest being cleared for full live action Feb-Marchish. If he’s ready to go by the beginning of February, that is a win.
I am against the idea of him playing early
And played bad and may get hurt again because of lingering injury
I think January debut is reasonable
That Anon user is pathetic
He needs mental doctor
He needs mental doctor
I don’t know. He’s 8th on CBS Mock Draft Board. Let’s see where he is in mid December.
I would be willing to bet we won’t see him cleared prior to 9 months. That’s the timeline for no reinjury. Pope will not ignore that data and neither will JQs camp. They would both be stupid to. 9 months post surgery is second week in December. He won’t be on the court before then. If he is they are ignoring medical data that says not to do it. His risk for injury goes up.
Start of SEC play.
I think he wants to play games
Wilson, Peats are all playing good, same with other freshmen
JQ wanted to play to keep his stock
Otherwise if there are any other guys playing good, JQ's draft prospect will become worse to him every passing day
Agreed. I’m convinced Koa Peat has every tool (my favorite to be #1). Same thing for Boozer. Peterson is also a special athlete. Dybantsa has a versatility that you don’t find often at his height and build, with elite agility. Tounde Yessoufou is also a promising stud. This is not the year for JQ to sit out, as he could very well fall out of the top 10.
Really at a loss as to why anyone is questioning this kids intent to play. If he were my son and medically cleared, heck yes, but there is no way in Hell I would let him play hurt. If he is healthy and tanks the season, ill be right there complaining too, but not until he has actually done something wrong
I’ve said from the moment he committed that he wouldn’t play. Not because I think he don’t want to. Not because of any kind of shady stuff. Not holding out for the draft. But because he had a messed up acl and who is gonna rush back when they have millions waiting on them. I dont blame him if he don’t play.
with that said I think he will be cleared just in time for the combine.
Been on ignore for a while. I won’t even unblock him/her/it to see what stupid thought they had.
I very rarely watch NBA games, but I tuned in last night to watch the Spurs vs Lakers and ole Jared Vanderbilt was playing big minutes. He looked solid.
But yeah, he would have been huge for us.
But then again, that 17/18 team was loaded with NBA talent, shouldn't have needed Vanderbilt if I'm being honest.
I would be ecstatic if he started playing by mid December. Yes please.
