In the midst of Josiah-Jordan James’ early-season absences, I was ready to write him off for the season.
Abstract terms like “discomfort,” and “soreness” were used to describe the injury, and then James even admitted that the situation was something that would need to be managed on a “game-to-game,” basis for the rest of the season. That was disconcerting, at the least.
He missed big, non-conference matchups against Maryland and Arizona, and I was sure he wasn’t gonna be the player we need him to be this season
Well, today against LSU, James was far and away the best player on the court, and once again, my unyielding cynicism made me look silly.
