We had some unfortunate news out of Long
Island this afternoon:
Boyd was the 2008-2009 NEC freshman of the year and
2011-2012 NEC player of the year. Boyd was back on his sixth year of
eligibility, receiving two medical redshirts in his time at LIU. The first one
came in 2009 when he was diagnosed with noncompaction cardiomyopathy, and the
second came last year after he tore the same ACL.
This is tough news. LIU may be a rival of Robert Morris, but
you don’t want to see great players get hurt like this. On top of that, Boyd
may have had a real shot at the NBA. Boyd is a great athlete with
size and an inside-out game.
This also has to be devastating for Long
Island , who holds a 5-8 record and hasn’t beaten a team inside the
KenPom top 200. Getting their best player back could have changed the outlook
of the lead.
CTC wishes the best of luck to Julian Boyd’s recovery. Tough
news for NEC fans.
