I assume he will receive a medical redshirt, but that sucks.

Tough break for the young man. Heal up and get ready for next season.

Ugh. That is….awful. Hate it for him, but also hate it for this team. Down to 10 scholarship players. Wishing Estrella a speedy recovery, but this really sucks.

Yep. Coming into the season with 11 was dangerous. Hopefully Dubar is back for good and Carr can get healthy. We are going to be living on a string all season.

Tough luck. He impressed me first time I saw him. Heal fully, quickly!

 

[CBVols]

Man that really stinks. I hate that for the young man. Really had high hopes to see his progress this season. Good Luck with the healing process JP

Boswell is going to have to grow up fast. Really, at this point, all we can do is pray to the injury gods that we can avoid any other trouble this season.

Easily within the 30% of games played limit and he only played in the first 50% of games.

Good thing Felix was added to the roster and Phillips has progressed very well.

Can UT bring in a big in January like they did with Santi?

 

[The Dog]

Yeah, this sucks. But, I think the Vols will be fine if we can dodge any more big injuries. I think Phillips and Dubar can and will up their games

They can bring in 2 if they’re out there. They can join the team after classes end in December.

Here's hoping. Should be attractive if there is one on the vine somewhere.

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

I hope we can keep Igor inside and outside and not be forced to keep him near the basket on offense.

That was an incredibly unique situation, but I guarantee you Barnes has people scouring the earth for a possible mid term enrollee.

Classes end on December 11th. Barnes can use the available spots in just 2 and 2 (weeks and days). RIP CW.

What exactly is the foot injury that requires surgery?

In any case:

 

[Putbacks]

Ugh! This stinks!

Does Colin Coyne have any more walk-on eligibility left?

26 bones...numerous ligaments...tendons...and he's got BIG versions of ALL that...under a LOT of stress daily...

If Barnes doesn’t use at least one of the open spots, a walk-on could very well see the court in non mop up duty. It’s been a long while since a walk-on was in a rotation.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

I feel like if a mid-year enrollee was a realistic option, there would have been smoke by now. I’m not convinced it’s being discussed. We knew about Vescovi by now the year he enrolled. It wasn’t a surprise.

I read this post blind, didn't see who posted it, but I knew who posted it as soon as I saw, "a walk-on was in a rotation", TGO. TGO loves the kids and the walk-ons
