Welcome to The Holy Land of Hoops

Would like to hear any injury news from around the league. Xavier PG Quentin Goodin recovering from a separated shoulder. Left arm has been in a sling for weeks. No one is saying much about his progress other than he should be ready soon.....Can't get where we want to go w/o Q. The rest of the team is healthy and ready for our exhibition game on Thursday.

Hoya Paranoia still reigns so details are unclear the extent of the injury but James Akinjo may have a high ankle sprain. Unclear when he'll be good to go.

Greg Elliot will miss half the season with a re-injured hand. He played through an injury to his right hand for part of the season last year.

Goodin is back @ practice but "no contact" yet.

Butler freshman PF Bryce Golden had shoulder surgery this summer. He's still not fully back yet. There's a chance he ends up redshirting.

Butler freshman Markeese Hastings is also out with a knee sprain for an undisclosed amount of time.

at creighton, epperson's knee is still bothering him. IINM, it is the knee he had surgery on close to the start of last season.

the scuttlebutt is that it (knee) is something Epperson will have to "live with"...

Ugh....apparently, Mustapha Heron is out of tonight's SJU exhibition game with a concussion.....

St. John's injuries always scare me!

We all know SJU's recent past. If it's not dismissed players, its the injury bug

I hope he is fine and has a superb season!
