    Okoro Redshirting?

    I didn't see him on the bench tonight and he did not play even when the walk-ons were in. I know he has played a few games but I hadn't seen anything saying he was redshirting or was injured.

    I am guessing he's still with his family in grieving; he lost his brother recently, I believe.

    Probably home with his family since his brother died few days ago.

    Yeah he's still back with his family. I know cyclone Alley had everyone sign posters before/after the game to send to him and his family, looked like easily 300+ signatures. Hopefully he's getting a ton of support in this extremely hard time. Theres no rush to come back to basketball right now for him, he needs to be with his family.

    I think it's great news for him. Gives him an extra year with all the family trouble going on. Lets him focus on family and not on basketball (while I hope he uses the rest of the off year to help his game as well).

    If you take away first base, they'll just go find a new ballpark to play in.

    All the players found out after the OSU game I think. They were tweeting a lot about it.

    I wonder if he could apply for a RS based on the low amount of PT along with the passing of his brother?? Either way, I hope he can find a way to work back into the swing of things after this tragedy.
