Ty Charles could be making a big step toward returning to the lineup this week with the coaching staff expecting that he could have his cast off this week. At that point it will just be about when he'll be ready to practice. Charles, the Jacks' leading returning scorer, has been out since breaking his hand during the season opener at Kentucky. He has been hampered by a shoulder injury since last season but he was expected to be able to play through that one.

Coaching staff are still looking at the Christmas tournament and the game against Tulsa as a target date for Ty's return.

Won't see Bain for awhile if at all this season. Filing for a redshirt isn't out of the question last I heard.
