Yeah dude you called me an idiot first for voicing an opinion. I mean my entire background and training is also in sports med.
JJeff Injury Updates

You are a moron and have clearly never played basketball at even a semi competitive level. I gaurantee you every single guy on that team has sprained their ankle more times than they can remember. It is clear this a bad sprain though. Jefferson said as much "it's bad" to TJ on the court. This dude is 21-22 years old and a professional athlete. Will he be 100% in a week? No. I'd be really surprised if he isnt able to play in some capacity a week from today though.
Who is saying that? The poster I am responding to is claiming he's done at Iowa State. Which although could be a scenario, we don't know that. Hell, Jefferson himself using "taking it day-by-day" language.
This is very much a “I told you” if it happens and a “I am glad I was wrong” if it doesn’t.
ISU currently a 5 point favorite
Some people on this board are always negative.
better than the sqwakeye **** he normally chokes onYour first helping of crow may be when you said Kentucky will kill ISU.
Crow leftovers may be in your future
You’re right I never played D1 my basketball playing days didn’t expand past high school. Jefferson also has a pro career ahead of him and risking that would be a little foolish even though he clearly loves Iowa State. It’s a tough ankle sprain, I hope he plays Sunday but I’m highly pessimistic on it. Next man up
Fair enough but what else is he going to say? I have a hard time believing he's coming back from a bad sprain in the next few weeks. He out until at least a possible Final Four game
Google Gemini says hes done for the year unless it was Grade 1 sprain, which seems unlikely.
yep GoSTATE71 is one of the posters who is negative against the Cyclones in game threads for every little thing that goes wrong
I think it's baked in. Might adjust by a point
Without injury it's an 8 to 8.5 spread,maybe even 9
Update, texted buddy who works in the sports book says opening line is based on Jefferson not playing.
Now certainly sharps can put a lot on Kentucky to move it
And Vegas isn't always right.

Nobody is balking at him not playing Sunday, it’s when you said he is done for over a month.
We'll see. Do you have evidence of guys coming back fast after being on crutches and helped off the court on short notice? You seem like you are in denial more than anything.
Senior year in HS I elevated for a rebound and came down on a foot rolled my ankle horribly. Literally thought I snapped my leg. Was able to play the following weekend with a brace.
His explosiveness will be limited. I'd be surprised if he doesn't go 7 days from now.
Beat Kentucky!

If you phrased your first post this way you would have likely had no negative feedback.
