Chris Clarke out for the season

By: Henry Skutt on February 13, 2017, 7:00 PM | 20 comments

There it is. Sigh. Torn ACL, so most likely not ready for the start of next season either. Redshirt him and get a lot more of NAW?

Hopefully won't kill our tourney chances with a late season dive, and somebody else really steps up - need Bibbs and Hill to start creating. Hate it for him and us. Huge blow on top of losing Blackshear early. Hope he gets back to 100% for crunch time next year, and we can build on a tourney visit this year with a deep run next, but don't see the run this year without him.

Sometimes we live no particular way but our own

Get well soon Clarke. Must be brutal for him. Really big hit for the team as well.

So, I guess 5 guards on the floor is likely to be a part of the game plan now.

Is coronavirus over yet?

Team just can't catch a break. Hill last year, Blackshear this year, now Clarke probably next year too.

DAMMIT! DAMMIT! DAMMIT!

Plan for the worst and hope for the best, not the other way around.

Edit: for real though: get well soon, dude.

I found TKP after two rails from TOTS then walking back to my apartment and re-watching the 2012 Sugar Bowl. I woke up the next day with this username.

Man this sucks for him. And this leaves with what? A 7 man rotation?

7 scholarship and 9 total. Galloway and Donlon likely to see more time now.

This screws up this year and next. Likely out thru Dec, where Buzz may redshirt him. He was a critical piece to replace LeDay.

Even by VT hoops standards , this is wickedly unfair.

There's a chance he could be back for ACC play next season. I'll hold out hope for that at least.

I hate it for him more than anything. I just hope he can make a full recovery. Guys who rely so heavily on their athleticism like Clarke can be more affected by ACL injuries than even top football players, even with advances in sports medicine and rehabilitation.
