Is Darrion Strong hurt?

[usedtobe1]

I looked up Coffeyville's stats to see how Darrion Strong is doing. He started off the season on fire, but has basically missed 5 of the last 6 games. I then googled to see if was hurt and didn't find anything.

Here's his stats so far: Darrion Strong Coffeyville stats

Has he signed? Idk Why i wasn't concerned at all about him getting to campus. You gotta always worry about jucos.

If not, I'd love to see what options we could explore given our number 1 status

I can ask my son...not sure if he'll know. He plays baseball there.

Strong has signed with OU so he is coming. I'm not worried about that. He's completely missed 3 of the last 6 games (including the last 2), played 1 minute in another, and 8 minutes in another. He did have a 30 minute outing.

I bet he has a bum ankle or something.

Gotta be so exciting for strong to go from his juco team to the current number 1 team who's losing 4 starters! I hope he works like the rest of the current team does

I think they just haven't updated his stats cause the game on January 2nd he actually had 29.

Here's the article.

Well as I say that I went and looked at his game for the 13th and he didn't in fact play.

I have no idea.

Good point jackson SS. I looked up game stats on 1/09 and he started the game but only played 8 minutes (no fouls). He didn't play in the 1/13 game according to the box score, and I couldn't find a box score for the 1/16 game.

Will be interested in hearing if Sonnerinkc's son has heard anything. It's probably just something minor.

@justinmhite: #Sooners ’16 JuCO PG signee @D_strong02 says he's been playing w/ a dislocated right arm/sprained ankle. Surgery on arm after year. #Heart

 

[Larry72]

Wow He may have to redshirt

 

[Larry72]

I hope Mcgusty is ready to play some point

 

[DenverSooner]

why wouldn't he shut it down and do it right now?

 

[usedtobe1]

What is a dislocated arm? I've heard of dislocated shoulders, wrists, and elbows. I assume the arm is dislocated at some joint. I hope it's not Tommy John surgery. He is right-handed.

Maybe the surgery is minor. If not, he should have it now.

 

[Stikboy]

Right. He has the scholarship. Take care of it pronto.

 

[cjhsooner]

Maybe his too competitive and wants to wait to possibly play this season with his teammates.

Yep. That was just the fan in me talkin.

Good Teammate, competitor, tough. He'll have a scholly after the tournament in March.

Maybe it's a choice. Either finishing playing this year, or have the surgery now and play next season. He needs to set his priorities. Playing at the D1 level trumps a juco career. He needs to prove himself on a bigger stage and do everything he can to get started on the right track.

OU will manage with Woodard and someone as the backup PG ..... maybe James or McGusty if Strong can't play. By playing, Darrion has the inside track to "own" the position the next year. If he has to sit out next season rehabbing, then a true freshman (e.g. Trae Young) may take the position and run with it the following year.

By playing next season he has a year to adapt to the job, and prove that he is capable of taking the reigns from Woodard after he graduates. Think how much better Walker is in his second year of playing. Strong can do the same.

Surgery recovery could be as little as 6 weeks.

Hite said Bankart Lesion- Should Dislocation.

If young comes, nothing less the Westbrook will stop him from starting.

Justin Hite ‏@justinmhite
Strong says he’s suffering from Bankart Lesion - shoulder dislocation. Recovery could be low as 12 wks. He feels good, can play.

I agree with you that Trae Young starts if he commits to OU.
