#Xavier's Landen Amos has torn his lateral meniscus. He'll have surgery Friday, out 4 to 6 weeks.

That sucks.

Damn, they must go hard at practice.

Only 4-6 weeks. Must be nice to be young and in shape.

Must be nice to be young and in shape.

I'm not picky. I'd take young OR in shape.

[xubrew]

I am in shape. Round is a shape.

Landen is one of my favorites. I saw him play terrific at Purdue. I think he's done a great job bouncing back from the infamous UC game. I've met him and he speaks and holds himself well. Get well soon!

Not that you ever like to see that happen to anyone, but that really sucks that it happened to Amos.

By all accounts, that kid has worked so hard to pull himself up from walk-on to contributor with a role on the team, and then he gets injured. I really feel bad for him. Hurry back, Landen.

Landen will be missed. X is now down to our top two on the ball defenders, Landen and Dee. Hopefully Dee is back for Tennessee and Landen is back in 4 vs. 6 weeks.

Sucks but hopefully he'll be 100% for conference play.

According to this tweet 2 minutes ago, he must have just been given the last scholarship for this year:

Started from the bottom, now he's here. Landen Amos, that is! The senior walk-on recently earned an athletic scholarship! Congrats, Landen!
