.  Wishing Dusan a quick recovery and much success as a Duquesne Duke!

Great get!

Do you think Dusan will be ready to play start of season

It was ewsy enough to figure out that Dusan resumed light on-court activities in February. I haven't been able to find a mention of a rehab setback since then. That has to be a good sign.

Also, why didn't PSN simply ask the player for a detailed update on his rehab progress & likely availability when he came to visit?

We all know that DU will not give up the goods on any player's injury status & seemingly forbids the player's from doing so themselves.

I see Dusan, when  healthy, a replacement for Rotroff.
15 mins, 6 pts and 4 rbs a game plus good defense 
would be very good.
Those stats got Rotroff a pro contract with Luxomburg.
 

Very excited about this signing and we really needed the big.  Between Dusan and Moore the bigger need, no pun intended, is Dusan without question.  I also think KD is not done yet and I anticipate another guard being signed, but I am happy we got a legit big.  Hopefully he is ready to play sooner rather than later and the one NCState trainer in the article said he was the hardest worker he has seen so quite possibly he may be ready to go in November.  Hell there was a small chance he could have played last year, but I am glad he had to take more time to recover and got the medical redshirt otherwise he may have never left NCS.  I too would expect that when Dusan is ready we get an even better version of Rotroff. 

Hey Mr legal expert. The federal statute is what it is. If NC State wants to take the chance of litigation so be it. Oh yeah Dambrot, the AD & the University should be reporting a player’s confidential information to this board.  Sorry not an opinion just the facts. FEDERAL STATUTE

I certainly agree that if & when a player wishes to keep their private business private, that player is entitled to do just that.

Do you really think NC State & many, many other schools, in a wide variety of sports, that report such details do so without the player's  legal consent to do so?

Did you ever notice that most of the time when a Pitt player or commit, in most any sport, has an injury, PSN has & publishes the details of that player's prognosis & rehab?

For at least the last 6 years DU's administration and/or coaching staff has very obviously & repeatedly demonstrated a policy of keeping fans in the dark about injury updates, player availability,& the reasons/circumstances for the huge amount of player movement. This, is not the case with myriad programs great & small.

It is just another example of the craptastic effort the institution gives toward building a growing & passionate fan base. The lack of information is as frustrating to many posters as the poor game day experience or the inept ticket office.

I think he averaged 10 and 7 at Illinois St. I'd take that here.

In a heartbeat!!!

I too see this as a great addition to the team. I am particularly excited about his reputation as a defender.

I wonder why he left NC State? That getting to know you video suggested he was pretty tight with the coach & program.

This could be the best Duquesne team since 70-71.Its got size with experience to play defense and we will 
be good at rebounding,terrific depth, some quick athletic guards who can shoot and good leaders.Only question is can these guys stay healthy.All systems go for a NCAA appearance.The only thing we dont have are local kids playing for Dukes. Definetly traveling to Pittsburgh next winter.Wish Mossie was here.

Stew ur on . I myself thought that earlier. This has the potential to be the best Duquesne team since the early seventies. What was sorely missing last year was the lack of a legitimate big guy. I admire rotroff but this guy to me appears Head and shoulders above. Just look at the tape and his statistics.
