No more Mook...

So sad to hear the news about Mook going down with the MCL tear. Has there ever been a year when WSU has suffered so many injuries? None that I can remember. And they are still 7-0 in conference. :ohno:
 
MCL tear? HOw bad? That isn't a season ending injury. Soccer players play on torn MCL's all the time. Has it been announced that he is out for the year?

I'm told he's likely done for the season. Possibly career. he did it in practice yesterday. Not the official word, though. Still, very unfortunate.

YIKES!! That is a terrible tear. I hope he is able to come back. He is a hell of an awesome player.
 
Coach Rahe announced that Mook was done for the season in his pre-game interview last night before the Sac state game.

Mook's injury IS NOT career ending unless Mook decides not to play anymore. If he does his rehab he will be fine by August.
 
This is his third knee injury in a year. Is he trying to come back from these injuries to soon? I'm a huge fan of Mook. This couldn't have happened to a better and nicer guy. To bad. I'm hoping that Mook does everything he can to strengthen his knees and get back to 100%. He deserves a injury free senior season.
 
Seeing what has happened to Mook and Bull this year makes me sick. I know that it is part of the game, but that doesn't necessarily make me feel any better. I feel awful for both guys. Fortunately, I know both Mook and Bull. These are top notch guys. Heavens, its sickening watching them stuggle with injuries. Bull almost seems lost at times on the court. You can tell he is trying, but he isn't anywhere close to being 100%. His shot is nowhere near where it needs to be. As for Mook, he had three really solid games in conference and now he is out again. He was playing so well. Argh!! Frustrating!! This is the second year in a row where our team has been decimated by injuries. Really nothing we can do to prevent these types of injuries. Yikes!! Anyway, right now, I'm hoping we can get Bull back to as near 100% as soon as possible and hope that Hajek can get back soon too.
 
Sickening for sure, Mook was becoming a fan fav. One has to wonder if he'll ever wear purple & white again.

Mook's thoughts after injury @ B.yu, and prior to this weeks injury..
http://blogs.standard.net/wsu-sport...is-worried-hed-never-play-again-after-injury/

Weber State junior forward Frank “Mook” Otis was so disheartened by his knee injury Dec. 7 at BYU he wondered if he’d ever play again, but he could see action as soon as tonight’s Weber State game against Montana State.

“It’s kind of been hard, just sitting out, watching,” Otis said. “I’ve been through a couple of knee surgeries so going through it again, my mind was kind of made up like I was done playing, but just sitting out and watching, I kind of got my passion back, you know what I mean? My dad, he told me, basketball is like crack. He said you can stay away from it for a minute but eventually you’re going to want it again.”

Dealing with yet another injury was depressing.

“It wasn’t even that I wouldn’t (physically) be able to play again, it was just, tired of going through injuries. It just kind of wears on your mind, you know? All that therapy and stuff is hard going through because you can’t do what you once did; can’t jump how you could, can’t run how you could. It was just kind of frustrating.”

Mook said he’s ready to go tonight; the Wildcats hope to get senior forward Kyle Bullinger back soon as well.

“If I get a chance on Thursday, I think I’ll be able to get out there and help my team defensively and a little bit offensively,” Otis said. “Right now I just want to get out there and help my teammates — just give them breathers, because we’re short on players right now. I just want to do whatever I can, whatever coach Rahe asks of me, that’s what I’m going to do.”
 
i was just getting in my car to go over to the game when i saw weber's tweet that otis was out. i couldnt even believe it. i feel bad for the guy.

I'm told the MCL injury is in the opposite knee that dislocated his kneecap. Seems like he's just breaking down a bit. I hope he gets better and he's back for next season.
