Hawkeyes eager to see Dickerson

so do we have to stop using the "getting his legs back" thing with Jok?

Anecdotal evidence would suggest that his legs are as back as they're going to be.

sounds by your diagnosis that it's a lingering problem that not many come back from...


so, maybe, just maybe, he's just now getting them legs back! ?? huh?

Well, minutes of medical studies seem to indicate that a full recovery, without complications, should occur within 12 months. Peter had his surgery in July of 2011, and he's played three seasons of basketball since without complications, so I doubt he requires additional recovery. It is pretty much accepted that your legs will be 10-20% weaker after recovery.

Oglesby has one year of experience on Jok, not a "few" years. And we have to stop using the "getting his legs back" thing with Jok. He had surgery on that knee in 2011, and he's played two high school, and one college season since then. If his legs aren't "back", they're never going to be. If he can't be a consistent defensive contributor, he's not going to play a lot in Fran's system.

I'll agree with you here, the coming back from injury thing is ridiculous.

He's never going to be a high riser.

Hickory Dickery and Jok
No more worries about the shot clock

This old Fran he played guard U
he played kickback to guards who shot true
which allowed Woody space to move to roam
these ole hawks will never lose at home

Its obvious Jok is a talented player. How long would it take for you to come back from the type of surgery Jok had? I doubt he really could play all out the last three years of high school. Hopefully, he will be making a great leap forward this year.

I'm just not going to make reference to past injuries because Jok looks good to me. He's very talented IMO. He seems interested in getting better as a player and doing what it takes to improve. I think he will be better this year and an absolute stud before he's done at Iowa.
