Sickening for sure, Mook was becoming a fan fav. One has to wonder if he'll ever wear purple & white again.
Mook's thoughts after injury @ B.yu, and prior to this weeks injury..

Weber State junior forward Frank “Mook” Otis was so disheartened by his knee injury Dec. 7 at BYU he wondered if he’d ever play again, but he could see action as soon as tonight’s Weber State game against Montana State.
“It’s kind of been hard, just sitting out, watching,” Otis said. “I’ve been through a couple of knee surgeries so going through it again, my mind was kind of made up like I was done playing, but just sitting out and watching, I kind of got my passion back, you know what I mean? My dad, he told me, basketball is like crack. He said you can stay away from it for a minute but eventually you’re going to want it again.”
Dealing with yet another injury was depressing.
“It wasn’t even that I wouldn’t (physically) be able to play again, it was just, tired of going through injuries. It just kind of wears on your mind, you know? All that therapy and stuff is hard going through because you can’t do what you once did; can’t jump how you could, can’t run how you could. It was just kind of frustrating.”
Mook said he’s ready to go tonight; the Wildcats hope to get senior forward Kyle Bullinger back soon as well.
“If I get a chance on Thursday, I think I’ll be able to get out there and help my team defensively and a little bit offensively,” Otis said. “Right now I just want to get out there and help my teammates — just give them breathers, because we’re short on players right now. I just want to do whatever I can, whatever coach Rahe asks of me, that’s what I’m going to do.”
