I for one am worried about Carter.
It is his conditioning following this injury. Hear me out,
This team is the best conditioned team in the NCAAs.
Why, dodge ball.
Carter with that brace will be slow as hell. He will get murdered playing for the next week and a half. These kids in the room are not the same kids Carter played against at Cathedral Prep. They will show no mercy. These boys are Division 1 athletes who have a different philosophy.
Carter’s lack of movement will screw his conditioning and the head shots he will take in practice will screw with his mental state. This is coming from a guy who was hit in the head constantly in gym class, I'd still be in concussion protocol if it existed in 1977. And our gym classes were co-ed!
I just hope that Bonnie steps up to the plate, I mean mat and stays hour after hour throwing dodge balls at him.
I know what you guys are thinking, either what a stupid post this is and/or you're thinking hey the kid had a broken hand and won Nationals. A broken hand affects the offensive side. Thowing is simple, But the broken knee, ACL, PLP, MCL, XYZ tears and the knee replacement this board has discussed will slow him down.
It comes down to Bonnie and her midnight dodgeball skills to get Carter his 4th.
