^That's about the extent of what we know. As for when? That's the mysery.

Hopefully he's back for training camp.

Uh I doubt he's gonna be at Noah's level. Sorry. Noah is probably the 3rd best center in the east after Howard and Bogut.

I have had a sinking, sinking feeling that Hansbrough is going to limp off into the sunset, having never had a decent NBA career. This weird, chronic injury is the kind of thing that scares the crap out of me. If he had just torn an ACL or whatever, we'd know what we're dealing with. This is weird, and they're being weird about it, which does not look good.

I've had the same feeling. He hasn't been working out or doing anything basketball related for quite some time now. I would have liked to see him in summer league again, but I doubt he'll be ready for that. Hopefully he'll be ready for training camp, because it would be nice to have him run in scrimmages in order to get his lungs ready for games, but I don't think he'll be ready for that either.

Unfortunately, I know way too much about concussions than I care to, so I can relate to what Tyler might be feeling. Since this is not Tyler's first concussion, he will be more susceptible to another concussion in the future. Combine that with his style of play and how he throws his body around seeking contact, and you have a recipe for disaster.

It really isn't looking good for Tyler right now, but hopefully he gets better.

Brook Lopez, David Lee, Al Horford are also up there.

Hansbrough's a PF, anyways.

The latest, from UNC coach Roy Williams-

Roy Williams was in Charlotte last night on the Tar Heel Tour where he answered questions from fans about the program. A poster at Inside Carolina did a summary of Roy’s answers. I will post them as is and you can pick through them.

Question about APR/Scholarships being removed from teams with low grad rates in the NCAA tourney- Roy responded with that some teams are being hit with schollie reductions already…..and that he is proud of Carolina and our 1000 APR. Funny, did not hint at Kentucky, but Butch did later…..

Question about #50…..Talked to Tyler last night, Tyler called him all excited about seeing Roy fist pump at the poet’s airball Monday night at the JordanCats game….told Roy he was his hero. Roy explained that Tyler really had a tough time with the vertigo/concussion, even had a really tough time concentrating, knowing where he was during the second half of the season, couldn’t practice, etc. Tyler did not dunk that ball at the 100th celebration because he was afraid he was going to fall down. Tyler now has a good report and is expected to be released from his treatment in July and should be ready for the preseason.

Looks like good news. Seems he will be ok.
