We're two games up on the field with the UConn win over the 'Ville tonight.
ND is technically at 4-2, but we have the tiebreaker. So I don't think any of us can be so sure we can't win this thing without Dajuan. We have 47 days between WVU and our first BET game. I don't care what kind of sprain our man has, he's 19 and should be ready by then. If he's back earlier, fine, but don't rush it.
Jessie and Pat have given us a bigger gift than we first thought.

Yeah, cant lose sight of how big it is that we can have a two game lead on the conference, especially since we play L'ville twice, and have beaten ND, WVU and UConn already. We are in good shape if we take care of own business.

This is not speculation. I repeat this is not speculation. But as far as sprains go, I can tell you from personal experience that they suck. I got a 3rd degree sprain in my ankle (ripped the ligaments and tendons) playing pick-up at Yates with StPete during my senior year and 2 years later, the damn thing still isn't fully healed. It feels weak and aches sometimes. Considering I've been a very fast healer my whole life (I recovered from a broken back in HS), this has been ridiculous and the longest healing process I've had by far. I'm sure a great deal of the problem is that I didn't take care of it at first and refused to see a doctor for weeks, but my point is that ankles can be troublesome. The good thing is that if taken care of immediately and cared for regularly with ice and heat and wrapped properly they can heal fairly well and if it's only a 1st or 2nd degree sprain, they can heal pretty quickly too. I hope this won't be classified speculation. I just wanted to provide some info on ankle sprains and personal experience. Get better quick, Dajuan! Hoya Saxa!

I'm pretty sure a future NBA'er will take care of his ankle, and a couple of assistants will help too.

Thanks, dudeslade. This makes me even more irritated that the Post reporter, apparently, didn't follow up and ask their source how severe the sprain was. Good god, this has a huge effect on a local team competing for a national championship! The story might as well have just said "there's something wrong with Dujuan Summer's leg" given how little it really tells us.

OK, let's talk about injuries to GU players and reporters: If Camille had a source, it's the official word from the program. If any reporter put anything out there on an injury beyond what the party line is, they'd be frozen out by Shapland. It's always been a Hoya Paranoia obsession, right up there with no freshman interviews. The official reasoning has something to do with not putting anything out there that might encourage gambling.
We won't know how bad the injury is until JTIII decides to tell us how bad the injury is. And even then, you shouldn't necessarily believe him (see: Chris Wright).
I just remember getting reamed out by Shap just for asking a sophomore Ashanti Cook how his knee was doing at a Media Day during my time at an esteemed campus publication oh so many years ago.

We have 47 days between WVU and our first BET game. Given that many people on other threads were quoting a 6 week general recovery time, and six weeks have 42 days, I don't think you can exactly guarantee that 47 days will be enough to cover any high ankle sprain that could have been suffered. That said, it certainly isn't a bad thing to have a nice big east cushion that eliminates the temptation for Summers to try anything before he's fully healed (which could be tomorrow for all I know -- I get no word from campus and I'm too cheap to pay for a text message plan so I tend not to get too many).

Was it a high sprain? I didn't see enough replays to tell.
Dudeslade, yours sounded more like a tear than a sprain. I've sprained each ankle every which way possible, that is, every which way such that the outside is sprained (toe rolls inwards - no high sprains), but never any tears. From my experience, there are tons of different kinds of sprains and recovery timetables. The fact that DS was up walking on his own (at least for a few steps) to get off the court and putting some weight on makes me think that, based on my personal experience, it wouldn't take more than a month for him to come back.

From my personal experience, having torn ligaments in my ankles on 4 separate occasions, the timetable really varies. The worst time took me roughly 6 weeks. The other times, I got back after 3-4. Of course, just like dudeslade my right ankle still hurts frequently, but that might be more from the 3 separate times I did it than just the one bad one. I guess what I'm trying to say is that there's no way we're going to know how long Dajuan's timetable is until he shows back up on the court.

Even a high sprain, unless they have to screw it, it's a month to six weeks. You're 90+% especially if you're young. If he was walking and standing, no way was it urgent enough to be that bad. It sucks but he's probably back in 3 weeks. I'm just giving worst-case.

Well when I sprained my ankle for the 18th time, they amputated my leg and re-attached it when it was healed and I was only out for 13.457 days. Based on my own personal experiences, I believe Dajaun will have his leg reattached shortly, and be back on the court in a matter of days.

The story might as well have just said "there's something wrong with Dujuan Summer's leg" given how little it really tells us. And that's all you need to know. Maybe Camille DID follow up, and got no more detail from her source. Maybe the doctors and trainers don't know yet, and aren't willing to fabricate and publicize a timeline for Dajuan's return just to appease you. Maybe JT3 doesn't want the other coaches in the conference to know because he wants to give them more to think about in gameplanning for the Hoyas. Trust Coach. I think he's earned it.

"All I need to know"? What is this? The Soviet Union?? I didn't ask for a time line. All I wanted to know was whether the sprain was mild or severe. If it's severe, there's a good chance he may be done for the year. If it's mild or moderate, we know the recovery time is around 6 weeks on average for a high ankle sprain. If she did follow up, then she should have indicated that the source wouldn't give he any more detail or didn't know anything more. What does this have to do with trusting JT3 or not? I have no beef against him--I love the guy. My beef is with the bad reporting.

I have no beef against him--I love the guy. My beef is with the bad reporting. Absurd. Anyone who has followed Georgetown basketball for more than a week knows that 1. Camille Powell works hard at her job and gives us as much as she can without engaging in reckless speculation (something we cannot say for her counterpart at the Times) and 2. Getting complete information from JT3 about injuries or anything else that does not need to be disclosed is only slightly easier than it would be from Bill Belichick.
