Nick Basquine out for season

[BawlzDeep]

Torn achilles is the early report.

Good lord yet again.

Not him....noooooo. That guy had hands of glue. Sad to hear this news. So we are down Basquine & Dalton

 

[Berryhillboomer]

Ridiculous. This happens to us every year

Is the practice field actual grass or that God forsaken artificial crap that ruins players seasons?

This is the business we are in, sadly. I have to believe this happens to everyone.
Bubblewrap or some kind of "virtual practice technology" needs to happen...

 

[kcstorm06]

What's alarming is that this isn't deep into contact practice yet...feel bad for Nick and Alex.

Working them hard is the only way to have them get out of the gate faster than they have under Bob Stoops. Lincoln Riley has been saying that is their focus this fall. I'm not concerned about the WR position even with the unfortunate injury to Nick. Wish him a speedy recovery and be ready to contribute in 2018.

Yes.....that plus suspensions and dismissals.

The field is grass. Both injuries were not related to football. Dalton was before practice started. Basquine was non contact.

I'd blame Nike.
