It may not qualify as a tweet-heard-'round-the world, but for Colorado basketball fans it certainly was a heartening update.
On Tuesday evening, freshman forward Evan Battey posted a video of teammate McKinley Wright in the CU weight room, capping the update with the grammatically challenged yet highly encouraging declaration, "yeahhh im back."
Sidelined since suffering a stroke over the holidays while in his southern California hometown, it is looking more likely the affliction will not lead to a premature end to Battey's basketball career. However, while the 6-foot-8 forward is ramping up his strength and conditioning drills, head coach Tad Boyle still is erring on the side of caution by not yet inking Battey into his 2018-19 rotation.
