Ronald Ramon was playing in the NCAA with a torn labrum?
Pitt sophomore guard Ronald Ramon is scheduled to have surgery today at UPMC South Side Hospital for a torn labrum in his left shoulder.
Ramon, whose shoulder was injured in the Big East tournament last month, is expected to be out 3-6 months. He should be ready for the start of the 2006-07 season.
It is unrelated to the right shoulder injury he suffered last year, and of course the torn ligaments in his right thumb for which he had surgery last fall.
Just noting from the Pitt basketball section that in the sidebar, they have links to sign-up for the Jamie Dixon Basketball Camp.
Jamie Dixon’s Summer Basketball Camp is open to boy’s ages 7-17. Space is limited in order to provide intensive individualized attention for each camper. Enrollment is on a first-come, first-serve basis.
It notes that Pitt basketball players will be among the counselors. I don’t see anything about the free t-shirt, though. You can’t have a 4-day camp, at $285 a pop and not have a free t-shirt.
There is also a link that provides photo galleries from games this season. Most of the home games and the two NCAA Tournament games.
Former walk-on, fan fave and really smart kid Charles Small has a new job.
Former Pitt men’s basketball student-athlete Charles Small has been hired to fill the Pitt Athletic Department’s Student Life & Compliance Assistant position. One of Small’s primary roles as the Student Life & Compliance Assistant will be to coordinate community service projects for student-athletes, such as the Children’s Hospital Honorary Captain’s program and the PAWS Saturday morning sports program, uniting Pitt student-athletes with children from the Oakland and local community. Following graduation, Small will begin his position in May.
“As a four-year member of the men’s basketball team, Charles brings his experience as student-athlete and an accomplished scholar to our administrative staff,” Athletic Director Jeff Long said. “He has earned the respect of student-athletes and coaches alike. Charles is a terrific young man who has a bright future in athletics administration, and I am pleased we are able to help him get his start.”
In addition, Small will be pursuing his graduate degree in social work (he graduates in April with his BA).
