Apologize if this has been covered elsewhere, but.....is Noel out for year? Hadn't heard Tilly being injured as well. What about the 'big guy -next hope' that was expected back in January? Thanks for the catch-up...
Noel is not out for the year necessarily, he's in a walking boot due to a foot injury. Obviously they hope to get him back at some point this season, or they would have already had announced plans for surgery or that he's out for the season.
Tilly has a head injury, and Diebler said today that he's still being evaluated as far as playing this weekend vs. UCLA. The word is "hopeful" ... certainly Tilly should be back in action sooner or later.
There is no other big guy that was expected back in January, but you may be thinking of Baylor transfer Josh Ojianwuna, who they have not made any definitive statement on playing this season, they keep saying they are going to make a decision every month about what he's going to do & haven't come out with it, but you would assume since he's waited this long with no word on his return, he's not going to play this season.
