More injury woes for Colgate
Getting new out of Hamilton is never easy. No newspapers actually cover the Raiders on a regular basis (not since Adonal Foyle left school), so reports are few and far between.
It also does not help when information is slow to come from official sources. In a post on the school's official site, dated Tuesday, it slips in word that Kyle Roemer will miss the season due to surgery for an ankle injury suffered in August.

For what it is worth, the release the school passed out at Patriot League media day on Oct. 19 was still touting Roemer as a likely starter, with no mention of any injury.

The loss of Roemer, who averaged 11.4 points per game is a real blow to the Raiders, who were counting on the 6-3 junior for firepower from the wings.

Roemer's loss should be softened a little by the availability of 6-2 sophomore Willie Morse, who sat out last season after transferring from St. Bonaventure. But Morse is still an unknown commodity, especially since he was unable to even practice last year after being struck by lightning in August 2005.

If Morse can bounce back and play up to expectations, Colgate should be able to survive the loss of Roemer. Still, for coach Emmett Davis, who suffered through an injury plagued campaign last season, this has to be looking a little like deja vu all over again.
