William had concussion issues at Clemson. Would not be shocking if they might still be the problem.
The most important thing here is the health of this young man !!!! That being said, what now? Can they sign someone else or do they hold that scholly until later ?
Ouch
I'm not overly optimistic that we will sign someone for this season this late in the game, but this staff has surprised me with how fast they put this class together so I wouldn't put it past them. We desperately need another true post player.
This is too bad. And kinda weird.
Yeah, it was probably a risky offer given the circumstances and a shame for everyone. Wishing him the best moving forward.
Hopefully, BM and staff can pull a rabbit out of the hat. It does seem unlikely at this late stage. Lack of bigs will be a problem.
March on triumphantly!
If there is to be a late stage find here, my money is on a JUCO plug-in. If that doesn't happen, my guess is they will roll that ride over.
--Insert something witty here--
Ouch
I had very high hopes for William. This is a big capital letter OUCH
Damn....I had him penciled in at the 4 spot.
Assuming Benson and Dembele eat up the 40 minutes at the 5, looks like they'll be pretty undersized at the 4, with Domask/Suggs/Gooch being the likely options. Some of the MVC contenders have pretty good size, so it could be challenging. Any injury to Benson or Dembele would be very tough to deal with.
Dembele out 6-8 weeks with a procedure for a stress fracture, per a Hefferman tweet.
Hopefully it doesn't linger because, as has been mentioned, SIU's frontcourt options at the 5 beyond Benson and Dembele are basically nonexistent.
