PrintRick Pitino announced during his weekly radio show Wednesday night that freshman guard Wayne Blackshear has been medically cleared to participate in games beginning this Saturday against West Virginia.
Blackshear, a former McDonald's All-American and Louisville's top recruit in the class of 2011, has missed the entire season with a torn labrum in his right shoulder that he suffered during practice in late October.
With the team playing so well and the West Virginia and Syracuse games being so crucial, it's probably going to take an extreme circumstance for Blackshear to see the floor on Saturday or Monday. The leaves F-Dub's potential Cardinal debut for...DePaul Day II???
Mother of God.

Rofl.
Makes all the screaming about him not getting minutes against UConn look stupid.
Of course with Rick Speak we might have realized practicing doesn’t mean you can play in games.
Depaul II
Front row for Wayne’s debut.

There'll be a few more of us up there too -- depaul seems to have an attendance problem
As for wayne, it seems only right to reintroduce him in front of all his hometown family and friends and cardsathletics and my wife and me.

If Chris or Kyle get in foul trouble at West Virginia
play him. And who are we kidding, we’re playing in Morgantown. I meant to say WHEN Chris, Kyle and the rest of the 6-7 man rotation get into foul trouble, play him. Rick won’t have a choice.
Yeah, if he is going to play at all this year, then we might as well play him when he is needed.
And that could very well be Saturday.

Dr. Tyler always said Inverse Tangent
and Dr. Ralston always said Arctangent.
I wonder if they ever came to blows over this?

Yeah, that chant died after awhile
I believe they still make “We Are, we are, we are, we are the Engineers” part of pledge education.
By "Triangles" do you mean people who frequented the Triangle bar?

Home Game
Hopefully he plays a couple of minutes in the Syracuse game. It would suck for him and the fans to play in his first game on the road.
To those of you thinking of posting some reasonable, low-expectation setting comment... please don't.
Let us have this.

I can't wait to see Wayne!
Anthony Davis is probably going to win every award they are giving out in college basketball, or so I’m told by “reasonable” Kentucky fans. But you know who beat him out for Chicago player of the year? Wayne Blackshear! That’s who! C’mon Wayne and dazzle us all!
Is that positive enough?

What kind of expectations should we have for a guy who's played almost no basketball since March of last year?
Do you really expect him to set the world on fire?
expectations too high? u serious?
i would love nothing more than for him to come in and score20 immediately. literally immediately. i expect him to hit a 20 point shot within a second of him entering the game
rick said last week that wayne is "pushing kyle in practice". this says alot to me...
He was a lock-down defender in HS. So by “pushing kyle”, I think that means kyle has to do more to get open. If he can come in for 5 to 10 min a game to give chris and kyle a rest, I’m happy. If he can come in and us not miss a beat on defense, I’m tickled to death!

I just laughed for a solid 3 minutes and my wife got pissed.
He goes with the short fist pump, then the double fist pump. Dude’s excited. Can’t stop watching it.

Maybe a little payback for Pat White's collegiate premiere against Louisville?
Probably not, but a man can dream.

Syracuse doesn't have any scouting on Wayne.
#SecretWeapon
Also, if Kevin Ware can get 10 minutes against Rutgers then Fat Wayne can get a few minutes against Cuse. Don"t be a Rick, Rick. Play FW.

Not what he said at ALL
You Might as well throw him in there against the Giants For the go ahead field goal the other night.

JS said, "Don"t be a Rick, Rick. Play FW.:"
I’d adjust thatto: don’t be a Rick Tease, Rick play (not so) fat Wayne!
As long as some of us are dreaming...
I can just hear all the halftime report stories during the NCAA tournament about how this freshman phenom comes in mid-February to help lead the surge for a UL Final Four. We’ll probably have a drinking game where you drink every time they mention it and we’ll be hammered. Write it down.

If he sits on the very end of the bench, he catapaults two other players into the stands

Oh reality....don't burst the bubble.

Now Wvu on the other hand
Classic Rick.. Game tied, 4 minutes before halftime on the road in morgantown because Siva got in foul trouble,,I can see this happening..plus if he sits on the bench with his big overweight ass he stands a much bigger chance of getting hit with batteries. It’s safer on the court in Morgantown and we can’t afford anymore injuries,,…See you Depaul day 2 Wayne
by redbirdgang on Feb 8, 2012 10:45 PM EST via mobile reply actions
Thanks for ruining the WVU game by making them desperate before they play us, ND
That said, I find it hard not to like this ND team. Jerian Grant is really fun to watch. And this guy was a 3-star recruit with a position ranking of 29 from Rivals and 40 (40!) from Scout.
