If he could, he wouldn’t be In Amherst and on his second school.

Walker posted on his instagram that he's having surgery on his wrist and will miss the rest of the season if/when it does resume.

I went to his instagram and don't see it, not sure if he was told to take it down or what...

feel bad for Dibaji, and the team. Hoping that once this sh_t show of a season is over, we'll all be able to enjoy a season with no injuries or pandemic illness what so ever!
All due respect, and I mean that from the bottom of my heart, I'm gonna pass.

I hope his surgery is a success and he comes back next year. Unfortunately, nothing is off the table for anybody the way things have gone this year and this latest 14 day quarantine isn't helping.

Yeah, I’m nervous the handling of this is going to end up in some guys leaving

Get well DW. I think Matt has a good handle on this club and will keep the team’s headspace in a good spot. It seems like these kids genuinely like playing together. My hope is that the two week break fuels a hard close to the rest of the year.

^ I agree. I get the feeling they like each other and realise that they have a very good team that can do some damage. They're almost there. DW really stepped up and dug in defensively and I hope he gets back healthy and is back next year to finish what they've started

Get well, Dibaji. Looking forward yo having you back fully healthy next year!



Hindsight is 20/20, but bringing him on halfway through last year and losing 1 of his 3 years of eligibility was a mistake. And yes, I realize this year is a wash eligibility-wise.

Wishing Dibaji a complete recovery. No need to rush back...get 100% healthy!

On the plus side, if ever there was a year to have season ending surgery, this is it. Didn't the NCAA give players this year back in terms of eligibility?

I believe for everyone. This year just doesn't count. They were unfortunately prescient in this regard.

I've heard that this year won't count for any of us. It will just be a giant do-over.
