Gophers Center Jonathon Williams is out for 4-6 Weeks
Myron Medcalf and My Ears Contribute to the report.
Tubby Smith said that senior center and co-captain Jonathan Williams is out for the next four to six weeks with a hernia on Dan Berreiro’s radio show on KFAN Wednesday afternoon. That means, Williams may not return until the start of the Big Ten season in late December.
Losing Williams will hurt the Gophers more than losing Damian Johnson. Johnson is set to return soon and has only missed two exhibition games so far. Williams’ injury will force freshman center Colton Iverson to become the starter at the spot. Iverson had a chance to earn that spot, based on the way he’s played so far. My guess is that Ralph Sampson III will move over to the five and back up Iverson. Two freshman big men in a league with a lot of tough post players. That’s a tough situation for any team.

Mounting Injuries can't be good.
Gentlemen, you can't fight in here! This is the War Room.

That’s why you have 13 scholarships. Most teams only play 8-9 players in rotation.
