Max Buchanan having surgery today

SJ to center?
Rodriguez to RG
Merriweather at RG could work too
Cantwell???? The min they believe he can handle it, you can bet your bottom dollar he will be in somewhere!!!

It sucks but we don’t have idiots coaching the line, They know what needs to be done and I’m sure it will happen…..

With all these injuries we are building depth long term, even though it sucks.

Has anyone heard about McCoy’s situation?

That’s the most concerning one to me.

/Reason:

Before the season started, I thought Miami had 4 guys (3 I saw personally) that could play on the edge in the summer.

Okunlola
McCoy
Meriweather
Cantwell

Two of them have shown in game they cant do it when the bullets are flying (Cantwell and Meriweather).

If you lose McCoy, you’re down to one (1!) guy who can do it.

That’s a season ender to me.

Or, he's a freshman. He's not Sisi, who played at IMG. Cantwell played at a small schooll in rural Missouri. In a mostly run offense. He tends to play high & doesnt have the bend Congdon has. He's a tackle and he will be fine.

So basically you said he’s not ready, which is what I listed as an option.

Nah , but who is at this point ? He was very tentative with shoulder / arm when he came back and why he got threw out the club on the one rep.

True on that first rep back, but he settled back into the game and looked good after that.
 
Good news is Buchanan should be back for playoffs barring a setback.

(This is all under the precedent it’s only an MCL injury)

An MCL tear is 3 months usually for a full tear, less if it’s a partial - let’s assume it’s a full one. Modern medicine advancement has worked wonders - we’re seeing guys back from full ACL tears or Achilles injuries in 8 months. Sits all of October, November and starts working back late December.

Very doable to win ACC and either get a bye, or be the 5 seed playing a G6 school on Dec 18/19 and don’t need him.

I expect him back in some capacity for the quarterfinals Dec 30 or Jan 1. If we’re cooking without him, even better. Rest up for the semis Jan 14/15.

D$ says he’ll be back later in the year and gaby is saying out for the year. Can we get some clarity on this?

Best case scenario is meniscus and that can be 6 weeks to many months. So who knows. I wouldn't bet on him being back this season.
