This is being addressed to those closer to the program. What’s the latest with Ensminger, Normand, and Tadjo?

Tadjo had knee surgery and is more than likely redshirting. There’s a small chance he could be available for the tourney but do you waste a year of eligibility for that.
Jake hurt his hip against SLU and needed further testing. Haven’t heard any updates about his status.
Teams were extremely unhappy with the court at Accrissure Arena. Apparently the court was placed on top of an ice rink and there was a lot of condensation as a result and players were frequently slipping.
Gehrig is entering the timeframe when the coaching staff thought he’d be returning. They initially said he’d be back before conference games started. The walking boot is gone. Wondering where his minutes will come from? If Jake’s injury isn’t serious and he doesn’t miss much time do they consider redshirting Gehrig?

Thanks Lucas, appreciate the updates!
The only issue with redshirting Gehrig once he’s healthy is that we’d have to get his total buy-in to do so… it sounds like (granted I’m only reading between the lines) that that’s exactly what happened at MSU. Got injured → got basically no minutes upon his return → transferred.
If he can prove he’s healthy I’d love to find the minutes to keep him around long term.

Plus Gehrig was regarded as skilled shooter/scorer; given our mediocre to poor 3pt shooting to date you’d think it be hard to pass on the potential improvement he may offer.

Hearing Jake might be able to play against ASU

He’s the glue IMO. Let’s hope that he can go

Does anyone on the board have any inside knowledge as to how both Normand and Tadjo are doing? I expect we will NOT see either player this season.
I’m curious what both think of SCU as a whole, and the basketball program specifically. Does either or both see a future here with their remaining eligibility? I believe Normand will still have 4 years of eligibility and Tadjo with 3, but please correct me if mistaken. Imagine this team’s depth if both were healthy!
Both are redshirting so they retain their eligibility. They’ll be back next year.
