We alluded to this in today’s Morning Five (see below), and even though it was good to hear he’s predicted to make a full recovery, we were hoping to get even more Herb Pope news sometime soon, especially if it was good. Today, the AP delivered. In a story posted this afternoon on the website of the New York Times (insert thunderclap here), we see that that the Seton Hall forward is not just getting better, but that he’s been recuperating at home for a while after a lengthy hospital stay following his collapse back in the last week of April.
According to the article, Pope could begin training soon, and there’s no reason to think he won’t be fit and ready to go for the Pirates next year. Everybody’s still mum on exactly what caused the collapse, which is understandable — we’re just glad he and his doctors have gotten on top of it.
