What is Roberts health status? Will he be back for OSU? Inquiring minds need to know. I sure hope he is available when we hit our tough OC games.

I don't know when he's expected back, but he has been at practice. He's not running full-speed with the team, but it seems from what I've seen that the speculation that he's a dunker only is not accurate. He's been shooting a lot on the side, and he can fill it. Can't wait to see this guy play.

The last word was "late November." Perhaps the limping bird can fill us in on his progress.

Roberts is cleared to practice, and might be dressed out for tomorrows game. He's wearing a brace on his knee, but his movements are fluid and he does not appear to have any pain, or impairment to his range of motion. He still has some catching up to do after being out the last few weeks, but his progress has been ahead of schedule. He should be playing soon, perhaps as soon as tomorrow. I would expect his minutes to be limited if he did play, though.

Rackauskas is on crutches and will be out for several weeks. No firm return date, yet.

Brian Miller was at practice today, but not dressed out. He is still out indefinitely.
Try not to choke on the Kool-Aid.

I would be just as happy if he doesn't play tomorrow . I just want him back for OSU.

Roberts should definately not play until he is 100%. Hopefully that will be before the OSU game as that is a tough team to make your freshman debut at.

Yes but practice is probably better than UT Tyler to get him ready. I just want them all back and healthy before OSU. Unfortunately, it isn't going to work out quite that well.
