• Ahhh.... say it ain't so. (NT) -- CLK, Tuesday, October 26, 05:35:26pm

• Ouch. He's going to miss the entire non-conference portion of the season. Bad break for a good player. (NT) -- El Duque, Tuesday, October 26, 05:37:35pm

• This is a significant set back for the team. There is no way to minimize Eric's loss and what potential effect it will have on the won / loss record. His ability to play "D" against physical guards will really be missed. (NT) -- Abdul Rahman, Tuesday, October 26, 06:04:04pm
  • I agree this is a big loss. Eric brings strength and maturity. Also Johnson is still nursing an ankle injury. We are now relying on our freshmen to step up and run the point. For TJ, Talley & Jones this gives them an opportunity to get big minutes and valuable experience early. The only good news is that they seem to be the kind of kids that can handle the pressure.

• A little more information on the injury. According to the Trib Article "He had been recovering from a stress fracture in the foot, which he developed during preseason workouts". I have to wonder, if he had a stress fracture why he was not in a boot and held out till it healed. I am guessing here that Eric being the tuff kid he is just though he would work through the pain.

• I was expecting Eric to hit the 1,000 pt. mark this year to give us 3 century mark scorers on the same team. Not sure if that's happened here before. Going to be interesting how this plays out. (NT) -- WashpaRick, Tuesday, October 26, 07:28:47pm
  • Well, for all of those who have been on the TJ bandwagon, we're going to find out a lot about him real quick. Fortunately, point guard is our deepest position, but the depth is very green. (NT) -- duq81, Tuesday, October 26, 09:07:37pm
    • I'm going to look at this with the glass half full. -- TMH, Tuesday, October 26, 09:55:00pm
      • I appreciate your optimism. The kids will still have butterflies and I'm afraid of putting so much pressure on them so soon. I just hope the NCAA breaks every precedent and does the right think with D-Mart. Let the kid play. (NT) -- El Duque, Wednesday, October 27, 09:50:18am
        • I agree El Duque but the first test will be LaRoche, then Lycoming and Bluefield State. The nerves should dissipate with each game. -- TMH, Wednesday, October 27, 11:12:34am

• I was a big E fan 2 years under his belt at point call me a skeptic in regard to playing freshman at this key position. Get well soon E... (NT) -- Ironduke81, Wednesday, October 27, 05:51:52am

• In the write-up on the fanfest, it was noted but was really downplayed. Something along the lines of "Evans played sparingly as he is nursing a stress fracture in his foot." When I first read it, I thought "that doesn't sound good" but then figured if he was playing in a srimmage the medical staff must not be that worried about it. 8 weeks is a long time, but getting him back for conference play is important.

• Gives TJ a great chance to take up the slack and prove himself early. (NT) -- Jason2012, Thursday, October 28, 02:39:37am

• Entering a challenging schedule with two freshman point guards is far from ideal; compound that with the fact that both will be challenged physically due to their slight body types; and this could present a huge problem on the defensive end; hopefully Sean Johnson will be healthy enough to take up some of the slack. Opposing point guards carved up the defense last year; it will be tough to improve with two small guards. (NT) -- Jules, Thursday, October 28, 09:23:35am
  • Both frosh will have to use their quickness, anticipation skills, and quick hands to keep opponents PG from penetrating and breaking down the team defense. The inability to do this in the past has hurt DU and has led to some of the defensive stats ( Points allowed, opponents shooting pctg, 3 pt defense etc ... ) being a bit on the negative side. Here is hoping they play solid, fundamental "D" and keep their man in front of them, box out and refrain from too much "Gambling" for the big play.

• I think RE will move Monteiro to SG spot and use TJ and Talley at PG. Peggau and Marhold will be the center by commitee with Saunders at PF and Clark at SF. Once Johnson is healthy, he will be the SG. The PG will be whoever does the best between TJ and Talley. Monteiro goes back to small forward. Hopefully, either Peggau or Marhold do well enough to rotate with Saunders and Clark. This way, only one positon at a time will have a freshman. (NT) -- Econ69, Thursday, October 28, 11:27:10am
  • Someone else whispered in my ear that Peggau has looked really good in early practice. We've been waiting for him to be healthy and step up; hopefully this is the year. Ditto for Marhold. We need both this year. BJ would be a headache for other teams at the 2 because he's strong, can post up, and play defense. With Ron planning to run this year, we need TJ AND Talley to play well at the point. Great three-headed monster when EE returns. (NT) -- El Duque, Thursday, October 28, 11:32:08am

• Get well Eric my friend. (NT) -- Dudude., Saturday, October 30, 08:04:51am
