J. Morgan Needs Shoulder Surgery + Other Injuries Limit MBB Scout Team
In this A2.com article, Rothstein reports on another surgery for Jordan Morgan and talks about how the scout team is hampered by the lack of available big men. If only the rotation wasn't hampered by a lack of available big men I wouldn't be so concerned about this.
Freshman forward Jordan Morgan, who has been redshirting this season, will likely have surgery to repair his left shoulder, which he injured in practice last week. “We’re going to let it quiet down and do it as soon as we can,” Beilein said. “But it can be a four-month recovery.” It’ll be the second major surgery in a year for Morgan, who had knee surgery before coming to Michigan this summer and required a four-to-six month recovery. ... Redshirt freshman Blake McLimans did not practice Tuesday while recovering from a sprained left ankle. … Freshman walk-on Josh Bartelstein may or may not need surgery to fix his injured right ankle, Beilein said. ... Michigan will fly to Indianapolis following practice Wednesday. ... Due to injuries, Beilein said walk-on Eso Akunne and senior Anthony Wright, who stand 6-foot-3 and 6-foot-6 respectively, will simulate the 4 and 5 positions on the scout team.
I didn't know how bad it was but lets play hard in the tourney boys and get amir or horford!
Let's worry bout Horford or Ziegler first. Williams can't help us for 2 years.

Let's be honest here: an early commitment from Williams would instill a little more hope that would surely help us get through these troubled times.

Every in coming big man gets injured and and can't play. This is quite frustrating. Is there a good witch doctor in A2 to take this curse of the basketball team?

The lack of depth has killed us all year.
Lets bust out the gorilla glue and put these brittle people back together!
