Interesting photo...(see #6)

At first glance it looked to my old eyes like he had a big bloody bandage on his ear. I was wondering what that was about.

Don't forget photo #8 in that group.

I'm hoping that a bit of rest served him well and he's ready go get back on the floor.

Per Shaka he has been participating in full practice and it is up to Sean to decide

[Herman Cain]

JTY excellent on defense, will help the squad immensely he returns. 

[We R Final Four]

Creighton 1/3 or Georgetown 1/7 return is my guess.

All up to him

Creighton 1/3 or Georgetown 1/7 return is my guess.

I think we see him 12/31.  He needed that last 10 days to get more comfortable and confident.  He looks ready.

All up to him

Ha!

[Newsdreams]

Ha!

Per Shaka has been cleared to play physically. Up to him once he is mentally ready

Oh, I agree.  You just keep repeating it.  I thought you were joking.

Hoping Sean feels ready today.

Probably going to be a bit of rust on the court from both sides today. What better day to get him back!?

At home to a receptive crowd may be a better day.

And also on a court that doesn't double as a hockey rink.

It is unseasonably warm today too which is usually when that disaster happens.

Is it possible that Sean is waiting until after 1/10/25 so that he sits out a full year and could possibly apply for an additional year of eligibility?

JB you want to take this one?

[tower912]

Go ahead, Mark.  The short version is that it doesn't work like that.  There is a much longer, more detailed version.

Not playing today in a game suited to ease back in would maybe hint of a red shirt?

At halftime, I wondered if he might make an appearance if the lead stayed over 20. It did, yet he didn't.

I now think his return, this year or next, will be in Milwaukee.

My sources say that it's up to him.

At what point does Sean just sitting out the rest of this season make the most sense for both the program and Sean's best interest? Obviously he would be nice to have this season, but he's not going to play major minutes right away.  Could be an 8-10 minute a game guy the rest of season, and boom - he's a senior having really only played sparingly since his freshman season. 

Tough call.  I am not familiar enough with the red shirt eligibility rules, but if there is a good chance he could get the year back anyway if he waits a few more weeks, then that changes the calculus.

I believe the injury has to occur in the first half of the season, and the player can only participate in up to 30% of games to be eligible for a medical hardship waiver.

Gotta be a tough decision for him. I'm sure he wants to be participating on a Final Four caliber team, but that extra year is probably enticing.

As a sidenote...I can't remember what thread it was on but someone mentioned that if he does come back, Tre's minutes would be eliminated and I don't think I agree. Tre has been first off the bench often and had a steal, block, and lead the team with 3 offensive rebounds against PC. He does a lot of dirty work.

This has been the question all along.  Junior Cadougan, Greg Elliott.  Junior came back, played very little, had no impact, and wasted a year of eligibility.  Greg was able to return, didn't, and that team wore out at the end of the season.

The only answer is to do what is best for the student athlete.

[#UnleashSean]

I agree with my past self back in August or September that Jones should wait a year. If je jumps into the rotation now, he'll become a senior who has played very few minutes.
