Future opponents LSU, Florida and St Marys are 27, 28, and 29.

We may move up a spot but I also wouldn't be shocked to see us stay at 17. I don't think we go higher than 16 though.

Xavier will jump us after beating Missouri. Arizona could as well with a win over the raggies. We should jump Florida. I'm going to say we drop a spot. Most likely the pessimist in me.

Post by **treesap32** » November 18th, 2019, 8:25 am

A couple losses above us, but we may see someone leapfrog us as well... I'm thinking 16.

Glad to see we got a 7 point win over SDSU!

This is the highest we have been ranked since 2010-11 when we were ranked 19.

That's for you, OKAggie.

I think we will see Queta play this week, perhaps as early as tonight against UTSA. He needs a tune-up before squaring off against the big boys in the Jersey Mike's tournament.

Is this confirmation or supposition?

Nice to see UNM and SDSU getting votes. We really need some help in the conference.

USU was voted as high as 11 this week and only left off of 2 ballots.

I would be a little surprised if he did AF. It seemed to me that he was favoring his one leg (limping) a bit after going through warm-ups last game. Don't know if he is quite ready for competition.

I don't think we're going to see Neemy until January. Would love to be proven wrong, but if I had to put an entry in a "baby pool" that's when I'd pick.

Too bad Florida, LSU, and St Mary’s can all be found in the “dropped from rankings this week” category.

Good news is, even without Queta, we still have a good chance to win in every game. I'm not saying we'll go undefeated, but I think we can win 2/3 of St. Mary's, LSU, and Florida (especially given their performances thus far).

Don't get my hopes up!

scotlandog · Post by **scotlandog** » November 18th, 2019, 12:46 pm

If he doesn’t play tonight, I have my doubts that he plays at all this season.

From when he got hurt, if the injury is minor like as has been reported, then he should be fully recover and just conditioning and playing it safe. You do t play it safe through your most important games and you would want a tune up game before getting out there against the toughest competition. So tonight is the last opportunity for a tune up before the real big games start.

If the injury isn’t minor and he’s still injured, then I don’t think we see his at all this year. In this case, I hope he sticks around next season as I’m sure his stock hasn’t risen in the draft and teams are cautious to see if he can come back and play after what would now be a serious injury.

If he is not injured anymore and he’s not playing, then you would have to think that he is playing it safe with sights set on the NBA and doesn’t want to get hurt again. Again though, his stock hasn’t risen and teams would be cautious and would want to see him play again. If his sights are set on the NBA and he’s ok to play, he would want to play against the best competition to increase his draft stock. If that’s the case then he would be getting his tune up tonight.

So if he plays this year, he plays tonight. If not tonight, then maybe not ever again.

OMG. So bizarre that we've had at least 10-15 posts today from people who have no idea what the he!! they're talking about suggesting that Queta may play tonight, if he doesn't play tonight it means something big, if he doesn't play against LSU, Florida, and St. Mary's we're going to lose all those games, etc. How about this: If Queta doesn't play tonight, it may mean simply that he's just not quite ready to go this game, but he may be ready by the next game. Or the next game after that. Or the one after that. Who the he!! knows? With the possible exception of one or two posters on this board, I don't think any of you have any idea WTF you're talking about.

As frustrating as it is not to have a specific target return date, reading anything into that is pure speculation. Why do so many feel the need to speculate about things they know nothing about?

Speculate: form a theory or conjecture about a subject without firm evidence.

We are speculating for the precise reason we don’t know what’s happening. That’s kind of the point. If you read my post, it is littered with words like “if” and “could” which are not definitive type words. That’s the point.

What we do know for sure is:
-Queta is an NBA talent and has aspirations
-Queta was injured July 21st, 2019
-injury is reported as sprain and dislocated knee cap
-standard recovery for non-surgery required sprains is 2-4 weeks (knee sprain) and 6 weeks for dislocated knee cap. Putting recovery time sometime in September.
-It currently is November
-Some say he is favoring his one leg(I haven’t seen this. I have seen him warm up and he looks fine.)
-The toughest games of this preseason are starting this week
-You are entitled to your opinion
-Jeffrey Epstein didn’t kill himself

What I read into that is listed above. What you read into that is who knows. What is wrong with looking at known information and giving ones best guess as to what might happen and maybe what to expect on a fan message board. Nothing.

From a 3rd hand report that I think is reliable, there is a high possibility that he will play a few minutes tonight. We'll soon see.

I agree. Either he's good to play tonight, or he's dead to the entire game of basketball forever. There is no middle ground. Source level: definitely up there.

It's incredible USU is ranked #15. Why is there not a buzz all over Cache Valley about this?

15 years ago it would've been insane. I think part of has to do with the dynamic cultural shift in just sports in general with kids and declining attendance. I think part has to do with USU becoming good at football and people focusing there. I also think part of it also has to do with Queta though.

While Queta is out people seem still unsure and maybe don't believe the ranking. If Queta is out there playing I think you'd see a noticeable up tick in buzz and attendance.

ThunderAggie · Post by **ThunderAggie** » November 18th, 2019, 2:21 pm

Queta is a fan favorite! I love when he would dunk and then high five the crowd or swat someone and then Mutombo finger wag them. He is a character!
