    He's a point guard. These are cut up from a couple of practices because he missed a bunch. Lot of confidence in what he can do. My guess is he will be the biggest riser in September.

    Summer workouts over. Guys have about three or so weeks off then they will get going again. Expectation is Mirk will be out about the first month of practice starting late August, then will slowly be re integrated after about a month. Freshman continue to flash. Brown and Morillo started to...

    He's in LA at the Nike showcase. Andrej did it last year, great honor to be invited. Bunch of high level college guys there.

    Luke could have also played about two weeks before that as well.

    Correct. Almost 7 weeks if you don't include the two buy games. That gives him plenty of time. Is this ideal? No. It's not the end of the world though, if something like this was going to happen early August was the time for it to happen.

    David Mirkovic suffers left foot injury

    Mirk is going to apply the same level of tenacity to getting back as he was to working hard this summer. Sometimes when you have these injuries, guys don't work as hard as they need to. I would not be shocked if Mirk beats the timeline even more than expected, we are talking about a guy who...

    I'll say this as well-the staff is REALLY high on Ethan Brown long term so I could see them getting him more reps in practice once the team starts back up in late August until October when Mirk should hopefully be eased back in.

    David Mirkovic suffers left foot injury

    There's nothing conflicting. He will be off his feet for about 6 weeks or so. I expect him to start building back up at the end of September. He may miss a game or two but I would be pretty surprised if he's not back for Texas Tech.

    Don't think this will be a worry barring a setback.

    Unless something goes wrong, he will be back on the court starting basketball activities in October.

    Goodman reporting six to eight weeks. Similar to what I got, I went on the more conservative side.

    I think there’s a chance he could miss a couple non conference games, but knowing Mirk he will do everything in his power to not have that be the case. Mid November return I think would be the conservative prediction in terms of an actual game but I would bet he plays game #1.

    David Mirkovic suffers left foot injury

    Talked to a couple people, sorry for the delay. Obviously not great news, surgery is never good. The feeling as of now is that he has a pretty decent chance to be back by late October depending on how it reacts. I think worse case is mid to late November. Don’t think he will miss many games...

    Tomislav is in fantastic shape. Moving a lot better than he was last year while also putting on some muscle. He's been one of the biggest positive talking points.
