Spoke with someone at practice.  Out 9-10 weeks

 

Obviously a blow but gotta believe in the defensive scheme and depth. Hoping the 9-10 weeks is just to be sure he isn't rushed back and it's more like 7-8 weeks that would put us right in the meat of our most important games.

Is the Rucker injury confirmed?  I see nothing from the team just tweets from randoms? 

Confirmed at joes last night.  Legacy media is over, joes is the new source

Damn, terrible luck. I suspect that with Ruckers upside future potential every precaution and evaluation will be thoroughly done.

On a positive note, this will force a few young guys to grow their game much quicker. Guessing there will be more of a committee approach working into that fourth spot behind Vig, Mohr and Thornton. I’ll be curious to see if they slide a guy like Macklin or Henry to the outside every once in a while now. 

I feel awful for Rucker. 

Getting him back in November would  be an absolute shot in the arm for the entire team. I am confident in the coaches and players that UND will still be in a good position come November. A setback now that will make for an epic comeback story later.

when do "they" have to.....

Who knows…..Now probably after next Thursday.  
 

What’s the rush?   To make you happy?  The kid is a legit NFL prospect and he should be priority #1.  Let him get everything in check before having to deal with calls and tweets.

how does announcing that rucker is hurt matter on anything?? delaying the announcement does what?

Losing Rucker and now, potentially the 4 or 5 5th year players, would significantly shrink what was outstanding depth in the secondary and on the DLine.  This will allow some younger players to show us what they've got early on.

You make sure the kid is good first.  You are the only one that seems bent out of shape about not knowing.  
 

To flip it back on you- Rushing to announce it does what??
