Pozzato

Postby Kevin Reilly » Thu Aug 21, 2025 7:25 pm

Bad news. Pozzato tore his meniscus and will miss a lot of games while recovering. Tough news for the young man and for the team. I hope he recovers well and doesn't rush back. Things just got tougher for the team.

Meniscus surgery should not sideline him too long, likely mid October return

When was the last time X did not have a significant injury?
I asked a ref if he could give me a technical foul for thinking bad things about him. He said, of course not. I said, well, I think you stink. And he gave me a technical. You can't trust em.

Gym from Delhi. I hope you are right about the recovery time. I have had two meniscus tears myself. One recovery took about 2 months but the second was a big tear and my recovery was closer to 6 months . I just hope they don't rush him back before he's ready. I think he will be our best scorer when healthy.

Agreed Kevin. Modern surgery and aggressive PT make a big difference (BTW did Pogue’s or the Friars Club pay for your procedures?)

Thats too bad he was our best offensive player and highest paid. Hopefully, he doesn't miss season and then transfer like Traore. This is going to be a very challenging season especially on offense. NIL has ruined college basketball and I'm afraid the days of X being consistent contender are over.

Gym from Delhi you are right about modern medicine being so much better than 40 years ago. Neither Poques or the Friar Club cared about the bill. I was in Alaska at the time and there was only one Orthopedic surgeon in the state. Wishing Pozzato a full recovery.

I also had surgery for torn meniscus about 35 years ago. I was an avid daily runner at that time. The recovery was a couple of months. Hope he gets back soon.
