Jamar Smith's Redshirt Year
In an recent announcement, Jamar Smith will be redshirting this basketball season. Typically the redshirt rule applies to freshmen and injured players and allows the student athlete to sit out a season and not lose a year of eligibility. In Jamar Smith's case, it seems like the redshirt designation was a compromise between the various parties involved to come up with a solution to retain Jamar Smith on the basketball team, yet keep him from playing this season. Earlier, I had posted my opinion that he should not be on the team. My concern was that someone who drinks as heavily as Smith cannot be expected to shoot straight. Let's hope the time off can help Smith get his act together. The punishment is unusual, but I guess it works for me. Time to move on, since this story has really gone stale.

Talk about boring... Why not talk about Darius Miller. "If Billie Gillespie wants him, he will sign with KY." Ding. Ding. He verballed to KY. Seriously doubt that Tracy Webster had much to do with it. What does? There needs to be a good fit of the kid with the coach and the kid with the system. Motion is not for everyone. Only smart, good shooting players who are willing to learn and to be coached will excel. NEXT
Come on, how about speculation as to Webster's replacement?
I am sure Webster leaving had something to do with Miller's announcement, just check out the quotes from the Millers prior to the announcement.
On the replacement coach topic, I like Smith, but suspect Howard is the guy.
