OK Aztec Mesa, what is the official status of Nolan Narain this season? Is he injured and if so, what is he recoverying from? I searched GoAztecs.com and haven't found any official word on Narain.

I mean, Zeigler doesn't even write about it. It's the great mystery of Aztecs basketball.

Has he graduated? Wouldn’t be surprised if he leaves the team at the semester break coming up.

If he doesn’t play any minutes can he leave as a grad transfer? Maybe that’s what he’s looking to do?

Another James Johnson? He may look for other opportunities. Dutch's new staff may have their own recruits/transfers they want to bring in. We do better with more athletic bigs, aka pogo sticks.

Wondering the same thing. Always followed Narain and hoped he would be the monster in the middle that was missing. Now I see and hear nothing. Anyone know?

When you see him on the sidelines he sure seems to be part of the team. He is always smiling and cheering everybody on.

He obviously still has a year of eligibility left but isn't he a 5th-year senior? Maybe he can get a medical hardship for this year and grad transfer out to a program next year where he would play. I hope so for his sake.
i had the chance to spend some time with him when he first came here and he's a really good kid.

I saw him at the game last night on the bench but it didn't look like he was dressed for the game. Is he injured? Is it his medical condition (anxiety)?

would guess when he is ready to say what is going on he will let us know
Has been a good guy so maybe let it ride until he says something
By the way have the Aztecs said who the Captains are for the team

I heard he has a groin injury. I don't know what is the recovery time needed for such an injury. He was on the bench last night but wasn't dress. We need Nolan for the depth and he definitely can contribute to this team. In my opinion, he's a better substitute for Wentzel and Nathan than Joel is right now.

Just me being skeptical... but I don't think he's good enough to crack the rotation, unfortunately.

With Arop possibly being out for awhile, it would be nice if Narain could help with some minutes off the bench.

Do you guys remember when Lebron had a groin injury towards the end of last season? He was out for awhile too.

I hope his injury is temporary. We need him for depth, especially since Arop is injured.

I hope so for his sake. i had the chance to spend some time with him when he first came here and he's a really good kid. Did he redshirt his frosh year. Or did he grey shirt? He traveled with team his first year. I talked to him at a Vegas tournament. Maybe the Rio? |

Thought he red-shirted. I know he could have gone back to Canada for his Senior year in HS but I believe he was allowed him to graduate early and come here. In speaking with him, I thought he said that he might as well learn from college kids instead of HS seniors in Canada.
