This team went how long without Lawson last season? I am convinced they will be a infinitely better on defense as a team so missing him for the early season will not be a major problem. The point is to gel come March and there will be plenty of time to do that. No worries. This team went how long without Lawson last season?

Just when it all was going so right. Senior laden, seemingly great Frosh players. We have all the tools this year. This stinks. Just when it all was going so right.

I wonder how long it will take him to get back in the groove of the Team. He'll have lost crucial time running the break and having all on the same page. This stinks. I know our depth is okay.

Ginyard was wearing a boot but I am guessing it was determined the fracture was not healing and they needed to put a screw in the foot to facilitate that.

I was kind of surprised initially they went with surgery for this instead of just rest (I've had this same injury before and rest is crucial). But maybe they recall what Quentin Thomas and Sean May went through with lingering stress fracture injuries and just wanted to take extra precaution to fix this. Thoughts?

If Marcus could be back by ACC play, I think we will in good shape. Someone also needs to tell Tywon to tighten his shoes this year.

Your probobly right about them considering surgery a last option or it could be they were just completely unknowing of the extent of the injury until the ankle sprain. The best treatment for a stress fracture is almost always resting the injured foot. Unless there is a concern for displacement then more aggressive measures should be taken. My guess is that had Ginyard and team officials known of the stress fracture he wouldn't have been playing on the injured foot and risking being sidelined for a major part of the season, until it was fully healed.

I'd gladly trade a loss in December to MSU for a fully healthy Ginyard in March/April. Plus, losing early will eliminate all of the silly "Undefeated season" talk...

According to ACC Now the stress fracture which is in one of the bone in his foot was related to the toe injury from last season. Stress fractures are not sudden injuries so it possible it did not manifest itself until August but I doubt an injury in the foot would be confused with a high sprain. Read where?
