Boy, that's too bad. When they showed the replay I think everyone was thinking the worst. Get better Nick, we are pulling for you.
Hopefully he can get medical redshirt, I forget the rule, but so early in the season I would think so.

Grant had played 9 games the year he had the heart issue, so I would think medical redshirt is likely unless there's something I'm missing.
What a shame for Nick though, get well soon.

Damn. I really enjoyed watching him play. Selfishly thats just another reason why its getting more difficult going to these games.
Strength and courage to you Nick!
Damn. Nick is a great kid and great player. Really tough break. I watched the play live and there was literally nothing unusual about the play or his movement or anything. Just don't understand how an ACL tears like that, but they do all of the time unfortunately.
I can't wait to see Nick strap them on for us again next year.

Hope that Nick can recover quickly and not have this affect his future career in Richmond but also abroad after graduating.
From where I'm sitting this injury looks like it will be the final nail in Mooney's coffin. Losing Sherod and with Gilyard having what could be a recurring nagging groin injury I don't see us having much of a chance on improving in the win column over last season. Right now the only positives we'll be able to take from this year will be how Cayo has developed and how impressive Wojcik has looked compared to other freshmen.

Stinks on ice for the present.
I prefer to look at the silver lining: in two years, our senior class that is going to stick around to experience success together under our next coach, is going to be awesome -- Gilyard, Francis, Sherod, Cayo, Golden.
I think this increases Sherod's chances of making a NCAA Tourney.
Other silver lining: Mooney's going to have to play Gustavson and Kourressi more.

Damn Nick I am sorry, but you are smart and determined young man and you will get through this detour like a champion.
This is absolutely terrible news today. Thoughts and prayers to Nick and all of his teammates. I am sure Dr. Young will handle his surgery and Nick will be back better than ever. Good to hear he can get a medical red shirt. Best wishes for a full and fast recovery Nick!

To Nick: You are a fine young man and a fine basketball player. Now, your objectives must focus on rehab. Do what the doctors, trainers, and DeMayo tell you to do, so that they don't have to appeal to a higher power (your mother). Praying for you, my friend!
Of course, my heart goes out to Nick and his family. However, the silver lining is that he may get some good coaching yet before he graduates UR.
Nick we love watching you play and will miss it very much but more important now, get well and come back more determined.
Nick will come back strong and better than ever. But when one door closes another one opens. Many here have been clamouring to find out what our bench players can provide and whether or not they can develop into quality talent. Now we get to see what we have.
Hey Nick
Very sorry for the injury. You are extremely well like by the Richmond Community. You are a great basketball player who has the ability to take over games. You are also a good person that people respect. Thanks for everything you have done for the program so far and we look forward to cheering you on next year. Go Spiders!

Great to see Nick cheering us on last night from behind (?) the bench. Hope he heals quickly and I look forward to seeing him play next season.
