I know some folks have talked about the decreased playing time for Cam Black over past month or so... After today's game, Coach Stone alluded to the fact that Cam has been hurt, and only recently has been able to practice more. He played 12 min. today, and, along with Mike Dabney, helped to "control" the middle of the zone D that Orr likes to play.
Had anyone else heard anything about an injury before? Frankly, after reading a PD article about how many kids transfer due to lack of P.T., I was afraid it might happen with him. But if appears that his P.T. has been cut due to injury.

Well, they've never really mentioned anything, but I've been saying this for better than a month.

Awhile back Cam came out of a game clutching his knee in the first half, and never returned. Since that time he has always had a knee brace on...today was the first time I noticed him playing without the brace since that day. For the past couple months he's also been noticeably slower...like he's either hurt or out of shape.

Even still, they never came out and said he was hurt, but I thought it was pretty obvious...as everybody was questioning why he wasn't getting more playing time.

I think it's safe to assume that Black needs an offseason to get back to his full ability. Hopefully he'll come out next year with a great sophomore year.
