James Smith

[Lanny]

Does anyone have any idea on his status? When will he be back?

he got his ankle scoped to remove some scar tissue. mac said it could be anywhere from a few days to a few weeks. he will not play against nebraska but hopefully next week.

Do you think that depending on how the next few weeks go we'd consider red shirting him? If the season goes well and we're still in the mix to go to a bowl game, then by all means bring him back, but in two weeks if we're 3-4, should the coaches take a look at holding him out and having 4 years with him being healthy from the get go?

James Smith already redshirted last year, unless u mean somekind of medical redshirt. It would be interesting to see how the two redshirt freshmen, Smith and Johnson compare to Berg and Banks

James Smith ankle hurt so they rescoped last week to remove scar tissue and he had new screws inserted. Sounds like he may be back two weeks from Saturday if his pain is down. That is why Jon Banks was moved to SAM this week since we are recognizing that James Smith may not help much this season and we need more speed to pass cover Matt Herrion and others.
