I did not. This caught me 100% by surprise.

Based on our past history, no way did I expect him to clear. I hope Brison plays tonight. I'm excited to see how he looks, but have no expectations for his first game.
However, I had a vision! :wink: 15 minutes, 4 points, 4 rebounds, 2 blocks, 2 steals.

The gazette piece said DK and Gresham won't speak publicly until after the game, so there's no way of knowing if he'll play until after, but is there any reason why he shouldn't? He's eligible and has practiced with the team all along. He should be in pretty good "basketball shape" from the practices and have some chemistry with his teammates.

It will be hard to imagine him not playing tonight, even if it is a cameo. Space played his first game back last year and I don't think he got anywhere nearly as much practice time prior than Gresham did this fall.

Yeah I used the wrong term then, because partial qualifier means practice but not play right? I think?

I meant whoever the last guy we had that was actually cleared and able to play in the same season.

Hasn't happened in quite awhile, as far as I can remember.

Mike Mole missed the first ten in the fall of 1961 and then led us to the 62 Dance. True story.

Sorry, I couldn't resist.

Do you mean Mike Johnson? Or were you kidding about the "true story" part?
