Didn’t I read not long ago that Cole is on the injured list? Will he be ready to go when the season starts?

i think he was in a boot but it was something minor .. he should be full go

A stress fracture, I think?

Unless he is fully practicing soon, that's concerning. It's basically what happened with Benny last season, and it seriously affected his ability to earn playing time. Freshmen need these months to adapt to the college level and start learning the system. If he is sidelined long, he will be playing catch up all season.

Thanks, any update would be much appreciated. I’m sure it’s not easy getting info, but hopefully someone is has some intel.

If Cole cracks the rotation this year, that would be a nice surprise. Stress fracture or not.

Cole broke his foot. Not good.

I doubt he makes an impact this season

I saw a couple tweets about that just now but haven't been able to find any decent reporting as to if/when he was cleared. Would be nice if the reporters would follow up and ask those questions!

He might be a solid player one day, and I really hope he recovers well. This sucks for him. However I don’t see this changing OU’s season win/loss record.

I'm curious about this statement. Haven't we heard frequently that one of the best things Moser has done is recruit good high school talent to the program? If that's actually true, then I'd like to think that one of the two freshmen on this roster is good enough to help the team this year. In this day and age, good freshmen contribute. Heck, even though Oweh was buried on the bench behind Jacob for three months, he managed to help us win down the stretch. I sure hope that Cole has more potential than maybe being a solid player in the distant future.

I think Cooper will contribute this year and end up being a stud.

You're not a fan of Uzan and Oweh?
