I am amazed as well, very few athletes have ever been able to bounce back from jaw surgery! I wonder if he will be a step slow or have the same touch on his shot?

Glad to see you don't let thinking stop you from your attempts to cut people down at any opportunity.  BattleCat, indeed.  I didn't think I needed to spell out it wasn't the injury itself that hurt him but the time he missed, but I'll do the Internet equivalent of speaking slowly for your benefit. He only played 14 games last season.  Combine that with his suspension and dismissal here, that's two seasons cut short for various reasons.  That's enough to give a coach pause.  When you figure in the fierce competition for JUCOs fighting for a spot at D-I, yeah, I'd say the jaw injury was at least a slight impediment to him getting back on that level.

A coach does not need 30 games to evaluate talent. And for the other issues, with over 300 DI institutions in the country there are always those willing to take on that talent. Anyway, the way you wrote your post, you claimed your shock that he could recover from a jaw injury, sorry I was unable to read your mind as to the other problems you "meant" but failed to pen.

Again, hope he does well in California.  He'll certainly be well-traveled by the time he's done.

I feel like he would have been the scorer/slasher that we desperately need right now. He had a so much potential and I feel like his loss often comes as an after thought with the loss of coleman, bassett, and kellogg.  Back to Top BobcatGman General User Member Since: 7/7/2010 Location: Albany, OH Post Count: 252 Status: Offline     RE: Kinney to San Jose State    Posted: 4/26/2011 10:41:39 PM  Hocking wrote: Would have really liked to see Kinney stay in a green and white uniform.

Been hearing alot of good things about this kid and I'm proud he will be wearing the Green and White next season. --------------------------------------------------------------- Dennis "Gman"   "DON'T  FLINCH" Back to Top Hocking General User Member Since: 11/20/2010 Post Count: 31 Status: Offline     RE: Kinney to San Jose State    Posted: 4/26/2011 10:47:58 PM  This reason I said that we desperately needed him was for mostly last season. How many times would it have been nice for a player to step up and being able to score when we need to. Cooper is a much more effective scorer when he doesnt have all of the attention on him (see 2009-2010 with Armon Bassett). I think this season would have gone way different if Jay Kinney was in uniform. But I do agree with Offutt, he will be a game changer.
