Oh Canada- Rautins Goes Down



Bad news today for the SU basketball team as last night Andy Rautins might have tore his ACL playing for team Canada and is likely done for the 2007-08 season. Rautins was a player on the rise, providing critical 3 point shooting and displaying court awareness that was painfully lacking from other players last year. He was poised for a break out season, now sadly, it looks like it will be 2008-09 before we see Andy on the court. Here's hoping for a speedy recovery.



What was once a crowded back court situation just got a little thinner, opening up playing time for freshman Scoop Jardine, a recruit from Philly who will now have a chance early in his career to show what he can do.
UPDATE - it has been confirmed that Rautins tore both his ACL and MCL and will miss the entire season. This is a tough loss for the team and a set back for a player who was poised to make a very big contribution this year.

huge blow to the cuse. Harris better start working on his J.

Maybe Rautins can sit next to Josh Wright on the bench.

Is it possible to fast track josh wright to an early graduation in october and save us all from the inevitable fiasco that will be the record setting season for turnovers by one player??
