He’s either going to get an extension or take a trip to lame duck city, a la PK & Ambrose. With a new AD & University President, I’m guessing an extension is questionable, at best, unless he wins a conference tournament, which is extraordinarily unlikely this coming season. Hell, opposing coaches can probably already portray him to recruits as a lame duck, as his contract expires before any incoming freshman would complete 4 years at TU. Fortunately, that’s not as big an issue when it comes to portal transfers Well yeah chances winning the conference tournament is next to zero now. It was .01% and that was assuming he would be suspended for the games in March 😂😂. Would be the only chance. If that is what is going to happen let’s either cut athletics or just move down to d2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Moleman1 44 Report post Posted August 24, 2023 From what little I just read (skimmed really), Grade II ACL tear, Watson could return in as little as 3-4 months, or take until next season.. This is one star-crossed program, where "when it rains it pours".. I know bad things can and do happen to most teams, but I swear I STILL suspect our athletic trainors, wondering if we're up to speed w other similar athletic programs (UDel, VCU, Richmond, etc). I know you called me down on this before Matt, but seems like those folks come & go every 3 or 4 years, and we're left getting another gang of recent graduates to experiment and pad their learning curve on our players..

Whatever chance we had of being a legitimate contender for the conference title is realistically gone, so Skerry might as well play the youngsters and see what we got. Pressure really mounts on Skerry, I would think, as he only has 2 years left on his contract after this upcoming season, if I’m not mistaken Four years left on his contract including the 2023-24 season. Just received an extension. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bay Area Tiger 347 Report post Posted August 24, 2023 Out her in Bay Area there is talk of a new procedure that is coming sooner rather than later where you will be able to recover from an ACL tear in 2-3 months. I know I know that sounds impossible but I’ve been speaking with a University of CA surgeon who said they are very close to a procedure with that quick turnaround.
