With a medical center as prestigious as GUH, it will be difficult to hide his exact injury after the fact (see AF's diabetes status) some of us here with connections to GUH already know the news, but cannot ethically reveal it on the boards what about ethically in a PM?? ;D sorry but I can't do that even if I wanted to everyone will get the news in the next 48 hours, I am sure III, the staff, and the team will try to keep it to themselves while they prepare for Saturday

There is also another consideration when releasing the timetable - NCAA seeding. We all know the committee takes into account injuries and if Gtown can make the status vague enough to leave open the possibility of a return by the 1st round then seeding may not be affected much. If I recall this is what Cuse did last year with Onuwaku's injury.

Is the news that Chris is currently getting a bionic hand that will make him better than he was before? Better. Stronger. Faster.

I mean, knowing Hoya Paranoia, will we ever find out what exactly happened? JTIII might go Boeheim on the press a la Onuaku's injury. Get well Chris! You are the man. With a medical center as prestigious as GUH, it will be difficult to hide his exact injury after the fact (see AF's diabetes status) some of us here with connections to GUH already know the news, but cannot ethically reveal it on the boards Really, a cybernetic Jedi hand like Luke's from Empire Strikes Back?!? and it'll be ready for Saturday morning?? that's amazing!!!!

What does the third metascarpal mean? What is the normal timetable? The 3rd metacarpal is the bone in the hand closest to the middle finger Normal timetable is 6 weeks, obviously CW is going to try to come back for NCAA (since it is his non shooting hand)

The 3rd metacarpal is the bone in the middle finger closest to your hand Normal timetable is 6 weeks, obviously CW is going to try to come back for NCAA (since it is his non shooting hand) Gotcha. Well, if he can get back in 4 weeks and we survive the first weekend (two big ifs, I know) then who knows!

normal procedure is to get another x-ray next week or so to see how the bone is healing...so not much to speculate until the follow-up X-ray (which is why III won't give an exact timetable)

I'm optimistic, but saying he is coming back has another purpose: it's a message to the NCAA Selection Committee that we should be seeded based on having CW as opposed to not having him. They take that into account (whether it's true or not that he actually will be back!).

what's better to be seeded lower and not favored to win without him have that as a crutch or to be knocked off again early as a high seed?
ughhhhhh need to get all these bad thought out of my head...anyone else having trouble focusing today?

I would think that if we hope to survive without Chris long enough to give hima chance to get back, we want to play as low a seed as possible; without him we will be hard-pressed to advance against high seeds.

Actually, I just hope we give him a chance to come back and play. He is the heart and soul of this team. I always feel like we have a chance with him in the game. He may make a mistake or two along the way, but overall he has been the MVP of the team this year. I would love to see him go out on his own terms.

Typical healing time for someone his age is 3-4 weeks. However, physical activity is usually not recommended for 6-8 weeks. Chris is a warrior, and I will not be in the least bit surprised to see him suited up and ready to play in the NCAA tournament. He will play through the pain, just look at what he tried to do last night. The team needs to rally around him now and finish the season and BET strong. The NCAA tournament is what is the most important now. Let's get there playing strong ball and give Chris a chance to come back and make an impact on the big stage.

I don't know if what's in the PR statement is true or not, but I'm glad we're playing the game at this point and making statements like that - something that predicts his return before the end of the season that doesn't hurt our seeding- vs. saying nothing and not communicating anything in the JTII era.
I remember watching Joey Brown shoot one handed free throws - I hope Chris gets better and we get the chance to watch him do the same.
