Vescovi will miss exhibition at Michigan State

[Volfanatic_20]

Santiago Vescovi's grandmother is on the verge of passing away according to Coach Barnes. As of now the plan is for Santi to fly home and be with his family at this time so he won't be with the team at Michigan St. this weekend.

Also, Zeigler is a game time decision, per Rucker.

Vols All-SEC junior PG Zakai Zeigler (torn ACL recovery) will be something like a game-time decision.

Correct family first .. especially since the game is just a glorified practice...

Opportunity for a lot of UT’s other guards/wings to make some hay. Dilione, Knecht, Mashack, Carr, DJ, Gainey. JJJ can take it easy and preserve what he still has left.

Unless it's the Corleone family, you're in Cuba, and your name is Fredo.

Also, Ziegler is a game time decision, per Rucker.

I would assume he would be extremely limited even if he plays. No need to risk anything during an exhibition. My guess is his first real action will come against wisconsin

Best wishes to Vescovi and his family during this tough time.

Fredo probably didn’t like how his time in Vegas turned out. And Lake Tahoe was some bad juju.

Praying for Santi and his family.

Wishing the best for Vescovi and his family. I recently had a close friend pass so I know how tough a loss can be. Family/friends should always take priority over sports.

We need Josiah to step up for this game.

Is this our 1st Must Win game of the season? Figured I'd get a head start before Jan/Feb.

Wow...guess the reports about his progress weren't hype

 

[malibuvol]

I hope Zeigler doesn't play...Continue to work on the knee for another 2 or so weeks...

Don't push Zeigler !!! Don't need him till December at the earliest.

Prayers up for Mrs. Vescovi

Also, Zeigler is a game time decision, per Rucker.

Not sure I'd be on board with him playing in an exhibition game. I'd keep him in recovery mode until a few games before league play.

If he’s ready to play why would you hold him out…November and December are huge months for building your NCAAT resume, especially with our schedule.

I’d go with Charlie Brown over cat videos and high fiber diet would be much lower on my list

You make a good point on the schedule, but I still don't think exhibition games are wise. After scanning the schedule, I'd shoot for Hawaii but keep him in bubble wrap until then.
