Extent of injury?

Surgery required?

Recovery time?

Sorry, Syb. Don't know. Since you knew who it was already, do you know those answers? You or Mike?

I did not know.

Who confirmed that it was Rich?

No one really has confirmed it, but she has a picture on one of her social media pages and she has a big knee brace on...

A torn ACL, Rich, has been confirmed on another board. There is no indication of recovery time, surgery, etc.

I had noticed that the almost daily tweets from Morgan Rich had stopped coming about a week ago.

This is correct. Sorry but it wasn't my place to say anything until it was broken elesewhwre. Really don't care what anyone on he board thinks. It's really sad for her as she was in a position to exceed and break through. She'll have surgery in the next couple of weeks but she is done for the season.

The most worrisome thing about this is that we are now down to just 9 healthy players with two months left before the season begins.

That is a big time problem.

Now I understand they never expected to have 2 leave and 2 season ending injuries, but things like this explain exactly why the NCAA allows 15 scholarships. Use them!

It looked like she was still nursing a bit of a problem last year. I'm not sure what the treatment had been from her earlier injury. She has time, if she has the patience that Maddie exhibited. She won't be under the pressure to carry the load with Ana and the others coming in. She can take her time and heal. I get the impression from her tweets, as well as those of the teammates, that she is a positive influence on the team. Can always use that, and she can learn while rehabilitation ensues.

She clearly has a strong faith. Not unusual that after one injury you sometime have the same injury on the other knee.

Sad for her.

FYI Rich was number 93 in the nation and the 31st best guard in the 2015 class listed by ESPN...

OK. Now, we may be running into the opposite problem. We are getting a lot of commitments, and we are still talking to two or three more prospects. Right now, we have only ten players, one of whom is injured:

Vivi
Maddie
Gabby
LaNesia
Morgan--injured
Gileysa
EJ
Ana
Mandy
Shaina

But, the first four graduate, leaving six. We already have five commitments and have two upcoming visits:

Commits:
Jessica Murcer
Taylor Robertson
Tatum Veitenheimer
Madison Williams
Nydia Lampkin

Visits:
10/6 Rokia Doumbia
11/3 Yo'Myris Morris

If we took all of them, that would be thirteen, and we would only graduate one. Do we want to limit scholarships that much?

I thought it was interesting that there were several 6-4/6-5 players in Oklahoma or North Texas that appeared to have at least a passing interest in OU. But, they were taking visits to TCU, Colorado, Arkansas, Kansas, and others, and we didn't seem to have any interest.

Then, we get a commitment from Nydia Lampkin. She appears to be a step or two above the others. If we were to get a commitment from Rokia on 10/6, would we be comfortable offering Morris on 11/3? Usually, that last visit date is one that you really want. But, she is in competition with Nydia. How many do we go for this year? We only lose EJ this year. We know there are about three that we will be going hard after next year.
