Agreed. He is key at the end of games when we are getting pressed to help relieve Tre.
I think were also gonna miss his athleticism on the defensive end. He's not quite there yet consistently, but he has shown in some 4 minute stretches the ability to completely shut down whoever he is guarding, a la Justise Winslow. He did it in the Miami game, you can see a stretch where the offensive guy can't go anywhere with Wendell on him.
That defense would be huge against a Jordan Nwora for example.
Yup that game got tougher

I bet he broke it when he slapped the backboard too hard against BC or Brown whenever that was and he felt so embarrassed about it that he tried to cover it up. When they showed him on the bench it was obviously still stinging 5 minutes after the fact.

Am I crazy or do you guys remember what I'm talking about?
He broke it during the Miami game

We just cant get a break. Every year it’s someone smh. Well lets just hope he comes back ready to go. He should be in shape. Work on that left hand as much as possible. This pretty much confirms he will be back next year. But moving forward we will get to see more of Cassius and probably play that Hurt, White and Carey lineup more

Every year...and my favorite CFB team was snakebitten with injury too! This year it seems less impactful since the surrounding cast has got more time and shown to be capable to step up. This team is truly well rounded so in good shape to absorb an injury. That said, I wish him a quick recovery and return to the team!

Yep....I'd say a 'few' weeks is actually pretty good news. It's better than close to two months, which I saw speculated a couple different places yesterday.

Hey I’ll take a few weeks over indefinitely, I never want our guys hurt but the point above was spot on that at least he can stay conditioned.
