Skillings Cleared

[Lobot]

Rothstein is reporting Dan has been cleared by the Drs. for no contact work.

Has there been a timeline established for return to full contact? Has anyone within the program said?

No, and I wouldn't expect them to say much about it. I'm sure they know but Xavier doesn't need to if he's good by then.

[Gmann]

There's no way he misses the Xavier game regardless of what they are or are not saying...

[BearKatz]

I figured all along the staff would hold Dan out until the X Game!

However, do we want a rusty Skillings playing against XU? I'm Skillings biggest fan but if he's not game ready, he may not help out that much.

Lets see if Dan gets any minutes on Sunday against Howard. Then a whole week of practice with the team.

Per Wes Miller on the radio show tonight. Dan is day to day and might play vs. Howard

He said Skillings got in two full-speed practices this week and looked good. CWM said, though, there's no guarantee that he'll get in on Sunday. I imagine he will, barring a setback.

It is going to be interesting to see what happens when Skillings is back. The team really missed him at Villanova. I am looking forward to seeing Skillings in the line-up again. Skillings may really be the piece that is missing going forward.

He is at very least ONE of the key pieces. He's one of those players where it seems they are a different team with him on the floor. Very much looking forward to him getting back in the lineup!
