What is the status of Osunniyi?

[nfrine]

When I roll my ankle I feel it in my soul. Then I cry. Then I limp into the woods so I can die alone.

If it's in the woods, did it really happen?

What happens in the woods stays in the woods.

It's the same made up **** we have every year

Back off. Go back and read my post more carefully. I said he's still adjusting to TJ's system and it may be causing him frustration.

Shoon transferred to Iowa State because he wanted to have a higher profile, but as of now his average points, rebounds, and blocks have actually gone down, not up. I'm guessing his average minutes have gone down as well. It's only natural to think he may be a little frustrated.

If he came here to boost his resume for the NBA, he might be a little frustrated, but I haven't seen visible evidence of anything yet. He does have a nice skill set for college basketball, but I just think he's a little too slender and not quick/athletic enough to make up for the slenderness

Maybe he has really short legs and his ankle and knee are only 5" apart?

 

[isuclone89]

Are you a doctor? Initially the surge of pain is in my knee. Ive done it about 3 times on my right ankle and twice on my left ankle. Same thing each time, instinct was to grab my knee, which is exactly who Osun did last night.

I've sprained my ankles multiple times. Only my ankle ever hurts. Not saying other's may react differently.

 

[snowcraig2.0]

He had a VERY noticeable limp at the end of the game.

So does 50 cent but look what he did....

 

[madguy30]

You don’t pull your entire starting lineup that early. Under the 4 is pretty normal for a full change. But we should’ve probably had Shoon and Grill/Gabe flipped out.

Shoon only played 13 minutes I think. Perhaps he needed a bit more work.

Either way this notion that the bench should be cleared at that time is just more people not watching sports.

 

[CyCloned]

Tonight would be a good time to ask him how it is. After a roll has had some time to set in you know how bad it is. The fact that they didn't take him to the locker room was pretty encouraging IMHO.

 

[madguy30]

Where does this come from? He's always engaged whether on the court or bench, on any of the post game interviews I've heard him on he seems to be enjoying his transfer to and time spent at ISU.

His and the bench's reaction to the Lipsey's behind the back to Gabe was pure delight.

If anyone thinks NBA scouts are reading box scores in the morning newspaper looking for stats, they don’t get it.

I’m sure he’s been comprehensively evaluated and if he’s got a chance, he’s got a chance. Anyone working for an NBA franchise would immediately recognize the difference in schemes and understand why his shot blocking production as fallen off.

It’s not fantasy basketball they’re playing.

Thank you for this visual at my high peak right now.

CF’s Razor says anything that should not even be a blip on anyone’s radar that happens has to be taken to the craziest and most extreme negative possible.

“Noticed Tamin posted about McDonald’s breakfast on IG today”

CF: is he suspended? these guys shouldn’t be eating at McDonalds! This isn’t good something is going on behind the scenes.

Also CF: He tagged Watson but not Eli King in that post. Eli is definitely in the dog house and transferring next week.

Also Also CF: this looks so bad on the coaching staff these guys should be in exactly 4 places outside of their homes:

Practice Facility
Hilton
On the Charter Plane
At an Opponent’s arena

This. Osun may start, but actually averages fewer minutes per game than Big Rob Energy (16 vs 18).

I have a theory that Osun starts because he always wins the opening tip. Have we not controlled the tip in any game yet this season?

Agree. It’s completely ridiculous. Shoot is always going crazy on the bench and his last interview I saw after the OU game was all “I’ll do whatever the team asks me to do to win”. I don’t know what else people want to see.

1 it was either Baylor or OU, I can't remember which one

Until last night, Osun looked like he was turning a corner and maybe accepting his role a bit more. He has been a different player in conference play, although he didn't look especially sharp last night even before the injury. I know Daniel Batcho is also a tall, freakishly lanky fellow, but he absolutely sent an Osun shot attempt into the next dimension at one point last night. It was such an awful, weak looking attempt on his part, I think Robert Jones may have blushed.

Lol I remember that block thinking, that was soft. I thought the same when Tamin drive down the baseline and went for a reverse lay up instead of dunking it. Though maybe it wasn't in his physical possibility. He also got blocked.

Osun got some back. He had a couple rejections and a couple dunks. He’s doing a great job imo.
