"This is just difficult news for an outstanding young man and representative of our athletics department," Haith said in the release. "I have had a chance to talk with Laurence a few times and he is doing well. I know he is anxious to get started on his rehabilitation and he will continue to be a big part of the 2011-2012 team."
"It’s obviously a tough loss for us as a basketball team," Haith said. "He's an All-Big 12 player. He's one of our best defenders and he brings a great deal of versatility, but our primary concern is to help Laurence through the recovery process."
