to top if he wants to rehab and return. He came back from the first ACL injury looking stronger and faster than pre-surgery. One of the largest factors in return to activity without limitations is secondary injuries like meniscal tear, cartilage tear, depression of cortical surface with bone contusion, etc. Often with a noncontact injury the secondary damage is minimal.

I have no idea what bigs might be available in the portal who could come in and help next year. I feel confident that Traore and Atiki will both progress as the season goes on and come in next year showing significant improvement. I'm still bullish on Lohner as well. I'm sure Pope and staff are already looking at options. They have to be. The scholarships will work themselves out like they always do. There is going to be a logjam at the 2-3 spot and several of those listed will not be with the team as Seniors.
