News broke today that Dominique Archie will have season ending knee surgery. This comes as a surprise as it was originally diagnosed as just a knee sprain. This also brings up some questions as to weather he will pursue a medical hardship for a 6th season of eligibility. Or will Archie just try to get the knee back to playing shape and try the European market.
After the lose to Wofford on Saturday night Carolina is in need of a player that can step up and fill Archie’s shoes. Archie averaged 14.4 points and 6.0 rebounds in five games played this season. He is the most versatile player on the Gamecocks roster and he will be a big loss to the team. There is no one player on the team that can rebound, shoot and score the way Archie did prior to his injury. The Gamecocks have not been the same since they lost him. Hopefully this will motivate some of the younger guys to play hard and make the most of the opportunity to have increased playing time.
Only time will tell what happens this season but all is not lost......or with the injury is the season lost?
