Oglesby out indefinitely...

This is why expectations have to be tempered. Never know about injuries. Jok going to get more PT now but his defense is pretty poor. JO was a much better defender. Hope Jok brings the rain.

3 point shooting WITH JO wasn't real good, with OUT him...oh boy.

I agree, Jok has a lot to learn on the defensive end. I am not a big fan of Oglesby but he was solid defensively and will be missed.
 
Bet we see Uthoff at 2 for at least short periods of time now, especially if Clemmons' ankle takes a while to heal.

Also, if this gets Jok a little longer leash from Fran could be a good thing in the long run. Let him play through some freshman mistakes and find his game earlier on.

Fortunately it is early enough in the season. I would expect he'll be back for Big 10 play.
 
For Josh's sake ... bummer. Hope it's not serious and get healed up soon.

For the Hawks' sake ... shrug. Hope Mike G's foot is really ready to go for the long haul. Hope the exhibition was an anomaly for PJ. Hope JU just goes and plays. Hope everyone else stays intact through next April.
 
If Gesell's foot can hold up, it will mean more minutes for him at the two and more for Clemmons at the one and Jok more of an opportunity, obviously. I don't see Uthoff playing 2 minutes.
 
That leaves only 3 healthy guards on the team meaning only 1 available off the bench if I'm not mistaken. Hopefully Clemmons and JO get healthy quick. Foul trouble and fatigue may be a problem early in the season.
 
The good news is this is the best time for this to happen. If this is not serious he should be back well before conference games.
 
How is Iowa going to replace his 30% three point shooting? Welp, it was a good run while it lasted. See you next season.
 
How long is Clemmons out? I haven't kept up to speed on his injury. Hopefully he's back soon help minimize our injured players. Good thing right now the team is 11 deep

Well, that whole transfer thing was much ado about nothing, apparently. ;)

I've kept my expectations tempered due to the football team letting me down when we've had high hopes, but yeah, this is also why I'm trying to keep my excitement in check.

I've kept my expectations tempered due to Alex Gonzalez dropping a double play ball in the 8th inning of Game 6 in the 2003 NLCS.
