Rumor???

[bgrch1350]

I just heard that TJ Taylor dropped out at OU. Can anyone find out if this is fact or fiction?

 

[thebigabd]

I sure hope that isnt true...

 

[bocabull]

Well if he's not talented enough to play on this years team it's not a big deal.

 

[Sam]

This sucks, a lot if true

 

[Max Power]

Well if he's not talented enough to play on this years team it's not a big deal.

his red shirt has nothing to do with talent, He is still having symptoms from a concussion and therefore can't play. He would be seeing the floor and helping the team if healthy. I really hope this rumor is proved false

 

[Big Old Booger]

is this the other scholly that may be available according to OUHoops11 or whatever his name is?

He mentioned yesterday, besides Abdul, and maybe Hardrick, that a 3rd scholly may be available...I wondered silently if it wasn't Taylor since he's redshirting. It would be easy for him to assess the situation and see no chance at postseason play in the foreseeable future and maybe a coaching change.

This is coming out of the HS tourney in Durant where Denison HS is playing

well that sucks if true...

I thought you were all about positive feelings and such. I guess you're not that successful.

Not a big deal = a positive outlook. You roll with the punches. You focus on the end goal ignoring bumps in the road knowing there will always be bumps in the road. Any road.

I've never heard of a basketball player taking off an entire season due to a pre season concussion. Football players are back on the field in a couple of weeks. If he has a serious neurological injury I wish him a full recovery.

Although I hope this isnt true, it wouldnt exactly surprise me. His absence has been puzzling.

Thats what I thought when I heard this. I'm more curious on why he's not playing. A concussion can't be the full scoop.

 

[MercedeSooner]

blah.... but yeah wouldn't be that surprising considering the odd circumstances this year.

"it never rains, it pours"

 

[SoonerDan74012]

WTF????

[Tony]

please let this not be true.

given the comment above mine, i'm going to assume it is.

TJ is pleaty talented to start for this team. Concussions are not all the same and their effect(s)are not predictable.

 

[StoopsBros]

Is he on the bench today?

 

[OUguy11]

Is he on the bench today?

He hasn't been on the bench all year long. Most of the times somewhere behind the bench maybe. Sometimes not even there.

 

[CMSOONER]

Is he on the bench today?

He hasn't been on the bench all year due to "light sensitivity".
