  • Adam Viet???

    I know I'm probably out of the loop on this one, but is Adam Viet out for the season??? I know he was struggling with that on-going knee injury, but I'd never heard if it was season-ending.

    They've never officially announced that its "season-ending" but it sure looks that way. Maybe they are holding out for a redshirt at this point.

      Mac told Rima on the pre-game show that they had hoped to play him against MSU, but did'nt get the chance. Said they might put him in against SIU, but that did not happen either

        I've heard some comments from Mac and others about him being the best pure shooter on the team. Is this accurate? Since he's seen so little time the last two years it's very hard for me to judge. Why doesn't he play more if that's the case? Is he not athetic enough to play D, etc?

          Athleticism was a problem without the bad back and knee. I don't think there is any way he can guard anybody right now. Maybe he can get a medical hardship?? If not he lost a year unfortunately, because he already redshirted.

            Viet was a great shooter in High School. Lots of people are good shooters in High School though. It is really hard to gauge how good of a shooter he is since he hasn't played a lot of minutes.
            Coach Whisenhunt 1/18/09. "There was never any complaints about not being named the starter, all he wanted was an opportunity and he took advantage of it. Kurt is probably one of the greatest individuals you'll ever meet. Kurt worked hard on a lot of things that a lot of times older quarterbacks aren't willing to do. That's a credit to his humility and his competitive drive, and the reason that we are here today in great part is what Kurt Warner has done for us."

              He's ready, just hasn't found his way into the rotation. Tough injury for Adam and the team. He could have helped at times.
