ORLANDO, Fla., -- After the Central Florida game, Glen Miller confirmed that senior Tommy McMahon is no longer on the team. Miller also said that sophomores Andreas Schreiber, suffering from a shoulder injury, and Darren Smith, out since last season with a broken kneecap, will be out for the remainder of the season and that the status of senior Aron Cohen is still up in the air as he undergoes testing.
On McMahon: "He just had a lot to overcome with his injuries and things and at this point, it was just tough for him to get into a situation where he could help the team."
On Schreiber and Smith: "Schreiber resumed practice and dislocated his shoulder again so he’s going to go ahead and have surgery. Darren Smith … all indications were that he was going to resume practice and get past one final hurdle which was an x-ray ... and Darren felt pretty good, but the x-ray showed that he had taken a step backwards. So he’ll be lost for the rest of the season also."
On Cohen: "Aron Cohen, he’s got a problem with his heart and the tests are ongoing, so we don’t have a conclusive finding yet."
