Olivier’s mom surprise visit

[bleedingTNorange]

Got a little dusty up in here, sometimes you don’t think about these foreign kids having no family around, and in his case going through a tough time. Awesome to see, hope she gets to see a W!

Damn allergies or maybe dust got in my eyes

Said the same thing to my wife. It's hard to remember at times that these teams are composed of mostly 18-22 year olds just getting started with their lives.

I understand Olivier makes questionable mistakes on the court but I’ll never question his competitiveness and effort that he gives this team.

The ones saying he wasn’t a big loss this year are clueless.

Wish him a fast recovery.

As a mom watching that...... I could literally feel the hug.

That was fantastic! ON is going to be really popular with his teammates if Barnes doesn't confiscate that box of chocolates.

Olivier seems like a great young man, he has a very pretty mother and I think this injury might be a blessing in disguise for his development. He can watch the flow of games, think about what he would have done in each situation and focus on situational understanding, eliminating mistakes and maturing.

I think he has a breakout year and is one of the top bigs in SEC next year. He has shown flashes this year and I think he becomes a consistent 12-14 and 8 guy next year.

It's what Momma bears do.
The Atlantic Ocean ain't big enough to stop one.

Im guessing she tears up the volleyball thread. That’s a lot of posts!

I think it was a big loss, but I think it gives our younger guys a chance to step up, and perhaps, combined, their efforts can overcome the loss. If we didn't have those options, it would be catastrophic for sure.

The humidity just gets so high that the water just spills over. That's what happened to me.

 

[Volfan1000]

That is a great family moment for both of them.

 

[Johnnyreb#VFL]

Man how awesome

 

[orangemadam]

Yeah, man, the onions are strong!

 

[Hallie]

Very touching ....we are so quick to critique and criticize these young people ...who go off to make a better life ...forgetting they have loved ones ...moms and dads left at home .. refreshing to see a young man not too proud to tell his mom he misses her .. very nice ...
