Fordham's front line has become thinner for the short term, but its 2015-16 look took a step in the right direction.

A Daly Dose Of Hoops has learned that senior forward Ryan Canty, who had missed each of the Rams' first three games while recovering from offseason back surgery, will be a medical redshirt this season and will miss the remainder of the 2014-15 year for Fordham after head coach Tom Pecora revealed the decision in his pregame interview with WFUV.

The 6-9 Canty, who averaged three points and six rebounds per game for the Rams last season, will return to Rose Hill for a fifth year, according to Pecora.

A Daly Dose Of Hoops will provide further details as they become available.
