Probably inappropriate to say hang in there, but seriously looking forward to watching you excel on the court next year, Solly!!

Were people giving him grief about sitting out a year?

Could be or he might feel like his play this year wasn't a true reflection of his ability. Also might be managing expectations for next year. Based on Young and Prohm's comments I think it's by no means a given he'll be back to his pre-injury self next year.

Wishing him all the best and hopefully next year turns out great! Seems like a great guy.

If this were still to be an issue next year could he redshirt and have two years still or is it you have to play 4 in 5?
Obviously hoping his recovery is quick and he's ready to start participating as soon as possible, but just curious about his options.

It's still 4 in 5, but if you miss two seasons for medical reasons it's generally a rubber-stamp waiver to get a sixth year.

Wow...what a tough mofo. That's one nasty injury, the fact that he even tried to give it a go this year is insane. Speaks volumes about the type of person he is.

Just reading the description of the groin injury made me queasy

He played several games with the tendon ripped off the bone??? Tough guy. Also makes we wonder what took so long for the medical staff to diagnose the total severity of the injury. That he did play some games makes it sound like it was thought the injury wasn't all that severe until he didn't heal right, and then deeper scans were done.

He’s going to surprise some people when he comes back.

With all his injuries, he was on pace to be one of those guys that are gone before they ever had a chance to get going.

He seems to be pretty cerebral. Good kid.
