We had Zoom availability today with Johnny Dawkins and I asked about the status and also the development of 7-foot-1 center Moses Bol, who redshirted last season. He hasn't dressed out this season, though I did see him in the team bench area I believe at the Auburn game. Not sure if he was there for subsequent games. Anyway, it sounds like Dawkins indicated Bol is either coming off an injury or perhaps is being monitored for a COVID-related issue? I figured he was NGE, but I don't think anybody has asked about Bol since last season.
This was the quote:
"We're still in a holding pattern for where he is exactly. I think he's close. I know he's close. We just have to continue to monitor and make sure he's going to be fine. I just want to see the young man have his opportunity to get out there and contribute because that's what these young people work for. That's what he wants. It's a function of when he's cleared to go, then he'll be able to come out and compete."
