Hosana Kitenge was named to the All-Sun Belt Conference Preseason First Team the league announced on Monday. Last season Kitenge earned All-SBC Third Team honors. The league also announced its preseason poll on Monday which had the Ragin' Cajuns fourth.
Annnnndddddd he's unfortunately out for the year with an injury.
Marlin’s excuse for underperforming this year served up on a silver platter.
At this stage, better to be focused on helping Hosana recover from this physically and in other ways. He was poised for big year and has to be crushed.Quote:

I would imagine Hosana has a good support system in place with his teammates, coaches, and a team of medical staff.Quote:

Terrible news for the Cajun basketball program. Really feel bad for Hosana as I'm sure this has to be very disappointing for the young man. Hope he has a full recovery.
Mike, hate to be selfish as his health is most important right now, but can he use a redshirt year this year?Quote:

Important role for him. Makes year more challenging but that also means an opportunity for a freshman.
My favorite player. Loved watching that guy. Hang around, dude. We’ll see you ball out again.
I believe the answer is yes. He needs to apply for the medical exemption but that should be a formality. He did have a post on Twitter today indicating he plans to return next season. Of course he will have to remain academically eligible as he works on a grad degree. He graduated this past summerQuote:

Torn Achilles. Sucks
I had the pleasure of speaking to hosana last night at the Krewe allon event. He plans on coming back next year. He loves this city and the fans. He wants to do everything he can to help this team win this year.
Great news.Quote:

Crushing. I loved watching his evolution as a player and leader. He plays with so much joy, just really fun to watch. Hopefully he will come back next season and get to play at a high level.
