Still no update on Otule?

[DienerTime34]

Judging from the comments on his Facebook page it's not good news

The nfl is required to reveal injuries because of fantasy football

Fixed.

It's actually because of Vegas/gambling. Fantasy football came later.

Care to elaborate?

Prepare for the worst.

His brother says "Ahh man, not again." This is from last night, after when the MRI would take place. Then says "We'll get through this one, just like last time."

Day of silence from MU allows Otule to talk with all his family members, collect thoughts, decide next course of action.

Could be they forgot St. Nick day again.

Got this from the Scout board.  Someone named Matt Otule posted this to CO's FB wall.

"Ahh man not again. Why does bad things happen to good people. I love you Chris Otule. We'll get through this one, just like last time. God has a plan, I promise."

Not good.

In response to the facebook post, theIWB on the other board said:

I contacted an inside source a little bit ago and there is still no word.....

[ZiggysFryBoy]

Likely the players Vegas  agreed to demanded release in language of the CBA or the standard player contract.

fixed.

Still holding out hope... "not again" could mean another injury and he's out a month, which would still be quite a letdown for a kid who's had a history.

Not going to panic...yet. As TT said, IWB just said minutes ago that there's still no word. That post on his FB page was from 7:00 last night. Expecting bad news, but still hoping for the best...or anything that has him back at 100% by the second week of March.

Could mean his girl friend dumped him ... come on people, let's quit with the Facebook detectives.  You may be right to interpret it in the worst possible way, but then again, you may not.  Let it play out before leaping to judgements.

Unfortunately, I think this is a season ending injury...the vibes just look like they're pointing in that direction. And if that's the case it will be a big downer for me because I'm part of the crowd that thinks he is a major factor to our success. And of course the other season ending injuries we've experienced with Mbakwe, James, and McNeal will just make me wonder "what if" we had a healthy Chris Otule just like I did with the aforementioned players.

From MU Basketball Twitter:

"#mubb center Chris Otule has an ACL injury. Still to be determined how long he will be out"

[🏀]

Good, he'll be back.

[RyanConroy]

Sounds like he's still missing AT LEAST a month, and probably more.

Still does not tell us anything.  Tear, strain, ...  When I hear ACL, though, I admittedly think the worst.  Hopefully we hear a time schedule or whether or not surgery is required, soon.

My honest hope is that this only affects seeding. I just pray he's back by mid-February. This may cost us a chance at a Big East title and #1 or #2 seed, but when we will really need him is in March. Give him 2 weeks of February to get healthy and then have him back in game shape for the Big East tournament and we can still contend for a tourney title and the Final Four.

So it's an ACL injury.....

Sprain? -- 2 weeks rest (ready for Big East)
Tear? -- Out for season

[Hards Alumni]

My educated guess is that if it was a tear and he required surgery, he would have already had it.

They probably are waiting for the swelling to subside before diagnosing is conclusive.  MRI's often don't show much until 1-2 weeks after the injury.  Just guessing.

[JD]

I spoke with Chris last night, and he doesn't even know how long.  So we can't jump to any timeframes quite yet.

[Jay Bee]

Nah, there is usually a waiting period... at least a couple of weeks, often times more.  Difficult to operate on a leg that is all swollen and jacked up around where the docs need to get to... only reason to push for a faster surgery is to, in theory, get back quicker.

As you spoke to him, what is the injury?  Parital tear?  Minor tear?  No tear?
