What's going on with Tony Miller?
- Thread starter How_did_this_happen?
- Start date
I have seen him on the bench with something around his shoulder. Seems like the shoulder is a chronic thing. It’s too bad because I think he could help when we get in foul trouble.
Several players seem to have some question marks around them. Miller had something going on last year and it looked like he was leaving the team but came back and appears to be injured and hasn’t played.
Koulibaly is dealing with some issue wether it’s personal or physical or he is just in the dog house nobody seems to want to talk about it. There was even a rumor that he was transferring at the break but luckily that doesn’t seem to be the case but it might explain the dog house.
And what’s the deal with Rosario? Very highly rated recruit that can’t seem to even impress enough to get garbage minutes, yet seems happy go lucky and supportive on the bench.

Smith is pretty good at keeping things mum when it comes to players who might be facing disciplinary measures. But in the case of Miller, that's definitely an injury situation. I believe Rosario and Myles Rice are redshirting (Rice for sure), but with the lack of playing time Rosario got last year, it's hard to believe he's basically sitting on the bench for two years just to protect his eligibility. Short answer is actually a question: Who knows what's going on?

I was surprised to see Koulibaly get some run at the end of the NC game so figured he must have been in the dog house but watching him he looked like he wasn’t moving as good as he was early in the season. So was he hurt? If my eyes weren’t deceiving me why even play him if he’s not 100%?
The Rosario situation is very puzzling.
Rosario seems to be having a good time and he's engaged in the games from the bench, but I don't understand why he hasn't been playing. I guess...redshirt this season? But it seems odd a player would want to ride the pine for 2 years these days. I don't get it.
A reporter asked Smith about Rosario and Rice a few weeks ago. Don't remember exactly what his words were, but he indicated it was likely both would redshirt.
Smith says in brand x article Rosario is injured and will likely redshirt. Koulibaly redused playing time is simply a matter of cutting down the rotation down. It seems with the flu bug going around Koulibaly might have gotten more time but I guess he has moved quite a ways down the rotation considering Rapp (mentioned as one of the players with flu) has been playing in front of him.
Unfortunately I don't think we will have a clear picture of this team until everybody is healthy...and that includes both illness and physical injuries. To this point we don't have anyone that has stepped up as the team leader, though again, illness and injury may have prevented that from someone who could have filled the role. My hope is that we look better when we have the full team available, and except for Miller (because if it is a shoulder, he won't be fully healed for a while), from what I've read most of the rest should be functional at some point in January.
Maybe my perception is wrong, but Smith's teams seem to have more injury and sickness and other weird things (toothaches!) than any other teams I've observed. It's odd.
So don't hold your breathe on "...until everyone is healthy...".
It ain't happening.
