Wigginton news (until he is back) thread
- Thread starter Dandy
- Start date
Well, at least it's official. Not that it's any easier to swallow. Hoping for a quick, effective recovery.
Fortunately, I made an serious investment several years ago and took a trip to China for some special training. My body is ready for the season.
EDIT: that's me in cardinal and gold!

Am I missing something here? NWB, THT, and Shayok would all likely be starters if we were healthy. You can’t convince me we are missing 4 of 5.We're only down 4 of 5 starters. We're good.
This is our chance for new kids to step up and see what they are made of. I wouldn't be surprised to see how well some of those newbies play tonight and in Maui.
Somehow, I expected the interviewee's voice to be much, much higher.
Equally disappointed/let down that Lindell will be out for a while, and excited to see how the rest of our team (especially the freshmen) do against Mizzou. A lot more depth than last year.
Reporters on Twitter are hinting at skepticism of it being a strain.
I'll just throw this out there, and to be clear this is pure 100% speculation on my part. But would anyone be surprised if this is really more serious and we don't find out until later? Seems like we get these vague answers (or no answers at all) on things like Lard's punishment and then boom, he's out for a quarter of the season. Maybe we aren't being told everything here.

And even if they lose some early games, we can still get back to near full strength for Big12 play and play meaningful games in March. We might not get as high of a seed if we don't have a great non-conference, but that doesn't mean we can't dance.
Well that pretty much sucks, but when was the last time a rumor about an ISU player came out that was not true or worse then rumored? Guess the young guys are going to have to take a big step forward sooner than expected. Prohm really does have horrible luck on injuries.
So 'strain' is the new 'broken' or has the treatment changed from ice and rest to immobile hard cast.
We beat Iowa with Jeff Beverly as a starter and Hans Brase playing major minutes last year. I’m not exactly feeling terrible about our chances this year with or without Wigginton
Maybe immobilizing it assists with the recovery time? (disclaimer: I have no idea).
Foot/ankle injuries can be funny sometimes.
That's the hope I suppose.
The basketball season has shifted for excitement in a very short time. Went from having potential to everyone doing a lot of hoping.
