Injuries starting to take their blows

All things considered, Utah State has been pretty fortunate when it comes to battling the injury bug so far this football season. That honeymoon seems to be officially over now though. And even basketball might have some bad news of its own. Let's run down the blows that injuries have had so far...

ADAM KENNEDY
We all saw the injury in the Southern Utah game, and at the time it looked to be something at least mildly serious. Then AFK kinda shocked us by being back in action already against Utah and again against Wisconsin. Seemed like everything was fine and dandy, right?

Apparently that was wrong. Kennedy's hurt, bad enough that the injury could be season-ending as Tony Jones reported. In his place, Devonta Glover-Wright is apparently going to be the backup quarterback moving forward. He played it at the junior college level and the coaches apparently believe he can get the job done. Hopefully he never needs to though. That Keeton kid ain't bad.

The 2012 USU basketball recruiting guide

With the signings of Marvin Jean and TeNale Roland earlier this week, Utah State looks to be done with basketball recruiting for the 2012 class.Now, it's time to break it all down!

To give a first impression, this looks like it very well could, and probably should turn out to be Stew Morrill's best recruiting class since, well... ever! Looking back at the 2005 class that brought in Durrall Peterson, Chaz Spicer, Chris Session, Nate Bendall and Tyler Newbold (who came later because of a mission), that's got some quality star power across that board. 2006 wasn't half-bad either with Kris Clark, Steve Ducharme, Brady Jardine and Pooh Williams.

But for each of those classes there were a couple of misses as well, which really can be said for every year. If you ever get a year where every guy in a class pans out to be a solid contributor, chances are a nice little NCAA tournament run is in your near future.

So if the basketball gods wouldn't mind smiling down on Utah State University this coming season, we'd really enjoy it if this were to be the class where everyone pans out to be studs. The ensuing result of such an astrological alignment (that's part of the Mayan 2012 thing, right?) would create something so unstoppable that not even John Cusack could save the rest of the WAC from USU's wrath (kind of like how he couldn't save that apocalyptic movie from being s***ty).
