Good luck to you, Kiddo Jefferson!

Hoping to hear that you will be back 100% !!!

That's about the best the news could be. I hope they don't rush him for Sunday, I'd much rather they cross that one off for JJ and work towards Sweet 16 weekend, instead.

I'd much rather his ankle is sore on Sunday, but they tape it up, give him some Advil, and he plays and has a double double.

Screw advil give him the shot

I don't want him rushed backed. This could be like the Baylor game on the road a couple of years ago. A shorthanded team really rose to the occasion. It would be awesome if we could get by Kentucky without him and then have him back for the next round.

You know we've made it as a program when we can overlook Kentucky

Or, amputate and give him that springy, bouncy prosthetic! He'll be dunking from the top of the key!!

You mean the one they wanted to give Wendell in Varsity Blues that cures torn hamstrings?

If it's the same one that I watched FB teammates take for separated shoulders and ankles so they could keep playing.

6 shots of wild turkey with a Busch light chaser before the next game.

I just would want to make sure it won’t do more damage. Don’t need a Haliburton type situation. As important as the tournament is to the fans, this kid has a future that can’t be overlooked.

When I severely sprained my ankle at 21, beer was the miracle cure. Went from crutches to walking around normally. Of course, it took two months to heal on that protocol

Only if he's never had wild turkey. Once in your life is enough, speaking from experience. Changed the course of my life.

Even if broken, that would be able to heal in plenty of time for NBA Summer League and definitely for preseason. Don't think it would hurt his draft stock the same way an ACL or Achilles would either. Just leave it all out on the floor, JJ

Jefferson’s our Chuck Norris.

Maybe you are but I'm not.....they've been a weird team but they still are very talented

Sense of humor is ... a ... pretty good ... thing.

Just think, you could have been NATEisKING otherwise.
