If I'm recalling correctly, someone mentioned Austin's shoulder pops out of socket? Wondering if anyone has heard if he plans on using the transfer year to repair/rehabilitate it? Would physical therapy alone correct a shoulder issue like this? Anyone on the board gone through something similar?

I'm sure the staff and Austin already have a plan in place. Hopefully he can get heeled up and is confident when his time is called. I love the idea of Manek and Reaves spotting up when Harmon parts the Crimson Sea. I'm interested to see how Reaves game stacks up over the next few years. Anyone with an opinion think he has potential to be a #2 or #3 scorer? Maybe a more realistic expectation is a couple three's a game and stretch the floor type contributor? I guess if we want to turn this into a multipage discussion we can talk about his defense but we should have Boulder add some servers to cover the traffic first.:eddie187_jpg_xs:
 
He's a shooter that has the ability to turn into a scorer. If he starts I'd say he'd easily be a double digit scorer that could get 12-15ppg.

I've wondered how his redshirt year would go too with his injury.
 
His shoulder has been an issue for him, but if I recall correctly, they seem to think they've got it under control. But good point as far as thinking the transfer year can only help in that regard.

As far as his game, he definitely is more than a guy who can hit a couple threes a game. He's a good athlete and very good shooter. With what the team loses after next season, I think he easily could be one of the two or three leading scorers.
 
Thanks BC and Wichita, his high school video is pretty impressive and shows the ability to create off the dribble. If he can get healthy and add about 10 pounds he could be a problem for teams trying to contain Harmon. Maybe he can get the Cade Davis lifting pack at the new Blake Griffin Center. The Cade Davis lifting pack consist of a copious amounts of DeerCreek Jerky for protein, extended follow through to maximize muscle stretching and pulling a comb out of carpet matted with industrial strength hair-gel a thousand times. Guaranteed to get you ripped and ready to drop 43 at a alumni game or you get to keep the ab shocker w/gel for free, excludes shipping and handling.

Related note, Manek is looking like he has put some time in as well. The team needs a good offseason in the new facility. I'll be disappointed if I drive by the center and I don't see Kur Kuruth throwing tractor tires and Freeman pushing a cement truck around the parking lot barefooted. Outraged I say, if Hannas isn't doing body squats while gnawing on a baker's dozen worth of turkey legs from the medevil fair. Prove to Blake and myself the money is being spent wisely and is cutting edge or I'll start to question the strength coach lifting prowess from my couch to the internet bra. Sorry bout the rant, had a meathead flashback for a moment. Nothing a little creatine and sugar laden protein shake to flex the pain away before my next Kris Kross fit class. It's similar to crossfit but we do everything backwards and heavy emphasis on jumping techniques. Gotta go before I miss the muscle bus... oh.
