I have it on good authority that Tyler is healthy again but will not play tonight due to considerable weight loss during his illness. I hate to be the guy that goes 'on good authority' and uses 'anonymous sources' but I'm doing it anyway. My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw Tyler pass out at 31 Flavors last night. I guess it's pretty serious. Thought my disclaimer stole the thunder from a post like this, but clearly I was mistaken.

I'm not a physician (I just play one on this web site), but it sounds to me as though Tyler's recuperation will take awhile. I wouldn't count on seeing him this week.

Paging Dr. Bando. Maybe we can get some good complementary or alternative medicine options for Tyler...

Nice to see Tyler back on the bench tonight (in a suit as lic noted). Hopefully his recovery is going well.

From Camille's Hoya Notes:
John III said that Crawford lost about 25 pounds last week because of the illness

Tyler's suit was hanging quite loose. I wonder if a redshirt is possible, because Tyler's greatest attributes are rebounding and defense, and those are unlikely to be at full strength all year if that type of weight loss is true.

Good question. It seems like a catch-22. We definitely need the backcourt depth more this year than we will down the road, so is it better to have Tyler contributing a little bit while slowly getting better, or allowing him to fully recover while being stuck with only four options at guard (all the way down the bench) with Wallace-Sapp-Rivers-Egerson.
My guess is that with Tyler's demonstrated work ethic, he could put 10-15 pounds of muscle back on by the beginning of Big East season (given that he was hospitalized for dehydration, I wonder how much of the weight loss was diminished fluids, which should replenish somewhat faster). It seems unlikely that he'll be a big contributor this week, but I wouldn't count him out just yet for making solid contributions. I'm sure that Coach and the staff will do what's best for Tyler, though.

CALLING ALL MED SCHOOL STUDENTS
hows does one lose 25 pounts in 2 weeks? i cant imagine its muscle, its got to be water and fat loss. if so, then easier to put back on the weight? how long does it take for full recovery for a 20 year old? thots and analysis?

Boxers regularly lose 15 pounds (sometimes more) in a day to make weight, and gain it back by fight time. I doubt Tyler lost much if any muscle.

With all the (deserved) hype about the frosh, it is easy to lose sight of a guy like Tyler. He has the capacity to be a major contributer on this team. He needs to stay health and keep that J consistent. Remember he hit key 3s in the first halves of both the BC and Vandy NCAA games. This guy has the ability to provide nice scoring, defense, and energy off the bench. I hope that we see a lot of him.

I like Tyler a lot, and I think he is a very important part of this team, even if he does not get a boatload of PT. And, if he winds up playing more in the early part of the season, fine. But, to be totally honest, if he is playing more than Wright and Freeman come BE time, I will be pretty disappointed. Why? Because that would mean (to me, anyway), that the frosh were not living up to their billing. It would also mean that we did not have an upgrade in overall talent this year (leaving Jeff out of the equation), since Tyler could not get the PT after his illness last year.

That assumes Tyler hasn't improved, of course. I'd rather see Tyler be strong and the freshmen come in behind him.

This is big time sports--kids don't play because they are nice guys--the best players play. Fact they are good guys just adds to enjoyment for us as fans. ;D
Now in relation to any athlete--you always have an opportunity to make your mark--could be due to an unseen happening-injury, illness, transfer, leaving for Draft, but you will get a chance to get minutes in any sport if you stick around. Tyler had his opportunity last year--and unfortunately he got sick. Team moved on without him and flourished. I think Tyler has a shot to earn his run this year--but if he gets beat out by FR, so be it--the best players have to play-and it's something kids understand more then anything--they know who deserves to play/can play and who doesn't. If you run things like that--you attract recruits, you stay in good with your players, and you never have major problems--because everyone can see who is producing/deserves to play. You have issues when guys who haven't earned things--be it a hotshot recruit or a coach's favorite play.
GU isn't a program that plays favorites--or hotshot recruits--this will be decided by who EARNS their time on court--as it should be.

I couldn't agree more with that last sentence - but that goes for the new guys as well as the old. It's easy to have stratospheric hopes for guys with lots of high school hype and whose flaws we haven't seen yet. I hope they turn out as advertised. But so far no one has seen Chris or Austin in a Big East game.
