STILLWATER, Okla. -- Oklahoma guard Willie Warren is out indefinitely after being diagnosed with mononucleosis.

Warren, the Sooners' leading scorer with a 16.2-point average, did not travel with the team for Saturday's 97-76 loss at Oklahoma State.

Coach Jeff Capel says he doesn't know how long Warren will be out because "it varies for each guy." The viral illness can linger for weeks and even months in some individuals.

Warren received votes for The Associated Press' preseason All-America team and had been considered a potential NBA draft prospect last year before returning for his sophomore season at Oklahoma.

He ranks 10th in the Big 12 in scoring.

Going to kill these d00dz

he could be back by next week.  so could gallon.  just have to wait and see.

I'm calling it now....there is no way Warren and Gallon will be out when we travel there next Saturday. A Top 10 team coming to Norman.....Capel will have his troops ready.

Much more nervous for TTech actually.

Gallon will play.  Warren will probably play too, but there it is very unlikely he'll be 100% if he sat our Saturday with mono.  He'll still be hurting.

Rest is recommended during the acute phase of the infection, but activity should be resumed once acute symptoms have resolved. Nevertheless heavy physical activity and contact sports should be avoided to mitigate the risk of splenic rupture, for at least one month following initial infection and until splenomegaly has resolved, as determined by ultrasound scan.

I thought there was something about physical activity and mono.  Warren won't be back unless it's a very very mild case.

He's been dragging ass for some time though.

Didn't one of the estroballers have mono or something and was out for 2-3 weeks?  I think I've heard that about mono, too - you can't go halfway or you run the potential of it lasting even longer.

isu has a guy with mono who's been playing all season.  probably infected warren, come to think of it.

[Bookcat]

I wanna beat OU's ass straight up. I want all of their inferior team ready to go...so after we beat them it'll be even more satisfying......like eating a big steak.

Yep,  announcers made mention of this when we played them.  They said that, as of that time, he had been playing with it for something like a month already.

Makes me wonder how.  I knew two guys back in the day who had it.  Both cases lasted more than a month.  Both guys lost 30+ lbs and could barely leave the house.  Makes you wonder how tough a guy has to be to not play a game, but go through a D1 BB practice with something like that.  Must require a true idiot, or a physical god.

Gallon will play. 

Any updates on his status?  Rumor I read was he received free shoes from an agent.

[Testy Westy]

If this piece of crap plays and gets one of our players sick I will be soooooo pissed.

[Dugout DickStone]

Need to go right at his spleen...

Give him one of these 
then go at him like this   
and watch him  on the court.

I want him to play in that thin air in Colorado and have the game go to double overtime.


The players on suspension...they'll be magically reinstated.

Tiny Gallon...he will play. No problem.


and like I said. I want them to. I want their entire team ready to go so when we win down there we don't hear any tapouts.

Who cares if they have all their players? I just want to win.  We will clearly be better than OU in everything this year (higher in conference, NCAA tourney bid, etc).  They won't really be able to say "if we had all our players we TOTALLY would have won."  OU is completely irrelevant this year and no excuse is going to change that.

looking at the info out today, it seems like warren will likely be back by saturday.  gallon unlikely.
