RowdyZip Posted February 22, 2015 Report Posted February 22, 2015 Now is the time to go ahead and be pessimistic. Man... Quote
clarkwgriswold Posted February 22, 2015 Report Posted February 22, 2015 And the hits just keep coming. He's a class kid. I wish him well.I guess now we use the time to rush Antino and Malcolm's growth. Certainly, we are in a better position now than we were when Abreu lost his mind. Quote
Dave in Green Posted February 22, 2015 Report Posted February 22, 2015 Aside from the 1% miracle that the ACL is not torn, this is a terrible blow for Noah and likely one blow too many for this season's team. I expect them not to give up, to adjust and surprise a few people with how good they can be in the MAC tournament. But a championship run would be a real stretch. The biggest question mark now is Nyles. He played just 4 minutes last night and disappeared from the bench. Is it a physical problem or a head problem? This team needs him badly with Noah down. Does Nyles show up or check out? Quote
UAZip0510 Posted February 22, 2015 Report Posted February 22, 2015 Tough, tough loss. Noah brought a veteran-like calm to this team. It's tough to see them as the last team standing now, but I'll never count out a Keith Dambrot-coached team either. Quote
Dr Z Posted February 22, 2015 Report Posted February 22, 2015 There goes my NIT dreams. Get well soon Noah. 1 Quote
skip-zip Posted February 23, 2015 Report Posted February 23, 2015 Reading his post makes me proud that a student/athlete of his character is representing my University, appreciates being here, and understands the great opportunity that he's been given. Our competitors can ignorantly continue to tolerate their "Ain't Come To Play School" tweets. I'll take Noah any day. 2 Quote
clarkwgriswold Posted February 23, 2015 Report Posted February 23, 2015 Joe Dunn had Noah on his daytime show a couple of months ago and I could not have been more impressed. Very composed, well spoken and a kid concerned with his education. UA is lucky to have him. 1 Quote

Very composed, well spoken and a kid concerned with his education. UA is lucky to have him.I almost thought it was a prank. I kept thinking "there's no way this is a kid that just graduated high school." Quote
akronzips71 Posted February 23, 2015 Report Posted February 23, 2015 That is a really tough injury. End of season, for some people end of career.I could not see it that well on the feed, but Frenchie and Dunn seemed to indicate he was hit pretty hard on that play. Quote
UAZip0510 Posted February 23, 2015 Report Posted February 23, 2015 Noah shot two free throws and played one defensive possession after he tore his ACL. Kid is tough. Quote

Hilltopper Posted February 23, 2015 Report Posted February 23, 2015 Noah tore his ACL. He will have surgery in about 3 weeks and should be ready to play next season. No other damage, just the ACL. He is in good spirits and will be on the bench at Buffalo. Quote

He is in good spirits and will be on the bench at Buffalo.And still no word from the ABJ? Their hometown D-1 basketball team just had one of their top players go down for the season with an injury, during a title run. If the Suckeyes actually had a chance to win a conference title this year, and this happened to one of their top players, it would have been in an article on the front of the sports page the next morning.

Captain Kangaroo Posted February 23, 2015 Report Posted February 23, 2015 You're an awesome talent, Noah. Look forward to seeing you stronger and better than ever in November! 1 Quote
Dave in Green Posted February 23, 2015 Report Posted February 23, 2015 The Zips are extremely fortunate to have a backup PG of Antino's caliber as well as a quality walk-on PG like Malcolm. We just have to be realistic and remember that Antino is a true freshman whose HS team did not play the kind of national schedule that Noah's did. He doesn't have the calm maturity of Noah that has steadied the team, but is more of a streaky player with ups and downs. He's learning on the fly how to lead the team for 30 minutes per game as opposed to being a change of pace backup for 10 minutes per game. Malcolm is also going to be learning on the fly. But after watching his performance against Toledo, I couldn't recall another walk-on player the Zips have had in recent memory who could have done any better. Quote

While the season has had its low points, we've been in much better hands at point guard with the three freshmen this year than we were with Carmelo and Evans. Quote
Dr Z Posted July 28, 2015 Report Posted July 28, 2015 Noah Robotham@NoahRobotham14Up 25lbs since surgery...yessir!! Noah Robotham @NoahRobotham14 10h10 hours agoEven though I missed one, my progression has been great..couldn't even walk for a month Quote
Blue & Gold Posted July 28, 2015 Report Posted July 28, 2015 This is great news. Up 25 pounds since his surgery? Wow! He's got his adult body now. I also can't wait to see Antino, as GoZips reported he's put on a lot of muscle as well.And wait till you guys see Josh Williams. He and Noah's games are strikingly similar. Quote

Hilltopper Posted September 24, 2015 Report Posted September 24, 2015 Noah has put in a lot of hard work since his injury. He is now a solid 175lbs and all the work in the weight room really shows. He should be cleared soon for full contact practice. 1 Quote
