Hate for it to happen to any kid, hopefully he's able to make a full recovery, though it'll be tough to get all the way back by the start of next season.

Two years in a row on almost the exact same day to lose a key contributor to the team. Feels like the Jays can never fully see their potential in this league.

Hate to be whiny, but two years in a row is just not fair. There, I'm better now (still not fair)

As someone posted on bluejay underground, its not even just a two year run, CU has had a season ending injury to a starter or sixth man in 5 of the last 6 years. (Jones 2013 heart, Z 2014 shoulder, Z 2015 knee, Mo 2017 ACL, Krampelj 2018 ACL.) When you don't have great depth, those losses really hurt - as all saw last year and will probably become evident this year. What's more, we have had a long run of experiencing this. Major injuries also took out 6th man/starter Grant Gibbs for a large part of 2014 (meniscus). Going back further, we lost go-to point/shooting guard Funk (2006 torn labrum) for the last half of a season, and 3 year starting point guard Dotzler (2006 partially torn PCL) for a major part of the season - he tried to play on it, but it never got better before shutting it down and having surgery. Going back even further, we lost our 4 year starting point guard Tyler McKinney back in the 20003-04 season, I believe, after 10 games due to an corneal-eating amoeba he contracted while the team was on a summer basketball tour of Canada (stored his contacts in tap water overnight). Ended up needing two corneal transplant that following spring. We were 54-9 in games he started from freshman through that point in his junior year. We were 10-0 that season when sight problems forced him out of the lineup and 10-9 the rest of the season without him. I doubt any program has lost a key contributor in almost half of their seasons this millennium.

Feel bad for the kid, Blue jay nation and really for the BE as it is a loss for us all. I was watching the X/SJU game and changing over to the CU/Hall game and I happen to catch the incident as it happened. It looked a little awkward but it didn't look as bad as Sumner's last year against SJU. I hope he fully recovers and returns next year. Good luck to CU the rest of the way.

Definitely lowers our ceiling, hopefully we can still make the tourney. Not as devastating as losing Watson last year since Harrell will pick up alot of the slack but we definitely lose alot of on the offensive end and rebounding.
