That really sucks. Is it early enough that he could get a med redshirt?

Mark Johnson tweeted that it's a broken foot and he's out for the year
Talk about a bad position

He should qualify for a medical redshirt.
https://www.thoughtco.com/what-is-a-medical-redshirt-in-college-basketball-325775
"A medical redshirt is a student who misses an entire year of competition due to injury and is granted an extension of his or her athletic eligibility to replace the lost season.
In men's college basketball, a student who participates in less than 30 percent of his team's games may apply for medical redshirt status.
The term is derived from redshirt, the practice of sitting out a year by choice, usually to avoid wasting a year's eligibility on a season that would otherwise be spent on the bench. Redshirting is far more common in football than in basketball."
That ****ing sucks. The game today just got a lot harder. Along with the rest of the season.

Missing Tory is going to especially kill us in Pac12 play. At this point I think our best option is to let Dallas play a lot and work through the growing pains.
I don’t think there is much of a choice. Maybe this bad luck will payoff in the long run.

Didn't see a lot of the game today but the parts I saw Walton looked very raw but like he has some good athletic abilities and he worked hard.

This really sucks for Tory...I feel bad for him. However, selfishly, if he decides to return next season...this could be a blessing in disguise. We're not going to make serious noise this year, and I was worried about front court depth next year. If our freshmen make a jump next season, and we have Tory to help bang around inside, that could be a competitive team poised to make a run at an NCAA invite. All the best first and foremost to Tory and what he was planning to do post graduation.
Always BUFF
I post stupid ****
Tory has no option but to return he's not Spencer. If he wants to prepare for the future there's not much choice. Best to the young man.
Have no idea where Tory is academically but he isn't going to the NBA. Getting another year of school paid for isn't a bad deal

Tory absolutely has many options aside from returning. No, the NBA is not in his future, but he could go overseas, if he's academically graduated he can find a normal job, etc. I was not implying he would go to the NBA. I hope he returns, and think his services next year could have a huge impact. But...he does have a lot of options.

Maybe most of us can’t understand why anyone capable of playing college basketball at a high level would choose not to - (I certainly can’t imagine it) - but I suppose someone who’s finished a degree and expects their basketball career to end with their last college game, just might decide to skip a final year and move on with their life.
But I’ll bet he’s back.
You're assuming that the NCAA will allow him to come back. Secondly, I could easily see a scenario where Tory says "You know what, why risk another injury? Why not strike now, get a decent gig in Europe somewhere and start getting paid for this". Especially if he's looking at possibly being a backup next year.

Yes I thought the injury redshirt was easy but maybe not.
I think he'd be crazy to give up the medical/rehabilitation he's going to get at CU for this injury and strike out on his own.
If he is going to get paid to play in Europe he will get paid more if he comes back and shows he is healthy for a year after the injury.

Yeah and Walton is a project and we're carrying Stratling who won't ever compete at this level. Probably need to send Stratling down to the College that took Guzo and bring in a mid-year transfer like Utah did last year with Cedric Barefield (SMU).
Siewert's gonna need some help down low. Barring a mid-year xfer I think the emergency plan would be to play Nicolic at the 5 when Siewert needs a blow. He seems bigger than the other wings and has a nose for the ball.
