This came from a source inside the locker room today:
Apparently, the recoveries of Otule and Fulce have already been far ahead of schedule. Whereas both should have still been on crutches, they are mobile and active without their crutches at this point. This source said that with a large amount of certainty we can expect Fulce back before the Tennessee game and that Otule is also likely be healthy enough to play by then.
By all indications McMorrow is also recovering quickly and the staff has done a great job of keeping him active in his recovery (though this clearly is irrelevant to this year's team).
Take it for what it's worth, but it gets me hopeful. It would be great to have those two for what will be a huge test on the road.
I am very excited to see Fulce play.
Chris did tell me last night that he was off the crutches and that he "is a fast healer" He did not give me any timetable or estimate as to when he will be back, but it did sound encouraging .......We certainly need him healthy and on the court asap!
Culliban will be back by late December too. Maybe Buzz's m.o. is to assume the worst.
It was painful to see McMorrow crutching up and down for every TO at the game Monday. He's a big dude, so it's hard to swing around with equipment .. getting around chairs, etc. Just wanted someone to tell him to relax.

Yeah I see him going in and out of the business school every day, and I feel bad for him. Can't wait to see him get off those things
If Fulce's knee is recovering quickly, great! I would be more reluctant to rush back from a broken bone, however. Better to wait an extra 10 days than rush OTule back and have him re-injure his foot and miss the rest of the season.
