Hason Ward Out for Non Conference

Thinking it deserves its own thread for those not paying a ton of attention.

We survived without Jaz and Grill for multiple starts last year and the staff found a way, I trust the same with Ward. Would love him for the Thanksgiving tourney and Iowa game though.

Hate to see any injuries, hope he can come back in January with all the work he’s put in.

Crap. Definitely puts a dent in post depth. Foot injuries can be tough for big guys and when it's healed he'll still need time to get game conditioning back.

Based on the 6-8 week recovery time. If things go well he’ll be back for the BYU or TCU conference games. Best case scenario he’ll be back for the Houston game. Still leaves plenty of time for him to ease back into the season and contribute to the team for big games in March.

He was averaging 17 minutes a game and I think when he gets back from injury, he should still be able to sustain or be around those minutes by seasons end.

I think this team is still fully capable of taking care of business until then. But that extra depth and post presence will be more than welcome back. Especially against the Hunter Dickinsons of the world
