Report: Touted Georgia freshman Arian Smith has knee surgery
The college career of Georgia freshman Arian Smith hasn’t gotten off to the greatest start.
Smith, the 4-star wide receiver signee from Lakeland, Florida, has had surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his knee, according to Rivals.com’s Anthony Dasher. Unfortunately, it’s also his second surgery of the year. The first was to repair a wrist injury in May.
Smith’s surgery now makes him questionable for the start of fall camp on August 6, assuming things progress positively with the coronavirus outbreak.
The freshman wide receiver was ranked as the nation’s No. 9 overall pass catcher and the state of Florida’s No. 12 overall prospect for the class of 2021, according to 247Sports Composite Rankings.
Wide receiver is one position that Georgia could use newcomers to step up, and hopefully for Smith and UGA, he’ll heal up before fall camp starts to be ready for the start of the season. Smith caught 19 passes for 382 yards and 6 touchdowns as a senior at Lakeland High School. He is considered one of the fastest incoming players in the country.
First the wrist now the knee? Thank goodness not critical components a speedy WR needs, right? But seriously What a Bummer. Hate it for ya kid, wish’n ya a speedy and full recovery! Go humpers!
Since when does a speedy WR not need good knees? Just asking.

Sorry, sometimes I get carried away trying to make light of tragedy…hence the but seriously part
It’s my understanding a normal recovery period is a couple of weeks.
It took Adrian Peterson about 12 weeks to recover from his torn Meniscus in 2016.
Depends on how bad the tear is and if they can stitch it or just clean it out. If they are stitching it, it needs more time to heal. When they cleaned mine out, I was able to get up and go after 2 weeks.
Considering we always lose one we shouldn’t, this isn’t the news we needed to break our reputation.
Come to think of it, this won’t help us win one for the first time in 40 years either.
Things aren’t looking good for us.
Thanks truvol, always look forward to your objective points of view…
Actually considering the recruiting. And the way SAINT SABAN is supposed to be the best. Not! Well anyway, considering all that. Alabama actually loses more games they shouldn’t. More than UGA that is. When you say SHOULDN’T. That is assuming the other team is not supposed to have any chance.
Well the losses I think of are LSU, AUBURN and Alabama, and SC. Of all these teams, SC is the only one who shouldn’t have beaten us!!! The others had at least an even 50/50 chance. Because that auburn team was pretty ELITE that year. Yea they lost 4 but 2 of them were the SEC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME and the bowl game to UCF. They were down and probably didn’t play their best. And UCF was UNBEATEN. Remember the first game we lost was at auburn. They beat Alabama the following game! They beat 2 #1 teams in a row.
So that loss we didn’t play our best. But it wasn’t inexcusable. Then we played LSU in death Valley. Sadly it came just before the big Florida game. We were UNBEATEN and cocky. But not playing our best either. The coach said we needed adversity. Well I’m not sure that game was on the up n up. Because we went away from a run game that was working great. Faked a field goal way too early. I’m not sure the coaches really wanted that one so badly. I mean LSU meant nothing to the east. But Florida did!!! I honestly think Kirby wanted to show a few things. And maybe try a few things for later on!!! It worked because we got better. And dominated the gators again. Of course the Alabama losses were heartbreaking. The first one WE DID WIN. But the REFS STOLE IT!!! Similar to the second one. REFS were again involved but we mostly blew that one. Alabama survived twice. But those are not games we should win. Again all these are 50/50 games. And last season LSU was the favorite and we were hurting.
So from 2017 on we have only lost 1 game that we shouldn’t have. But Nick Saban can’t say the same. Alabama has blown at least 1 game every year but maybe 1 since 2007. Maybe I’m wrong but I know it’s close to that. And don’t get me started on Tennessee. LOL
PS. UGA has had bad luck and crappy refereeing. And even flat out cheating against them. Consider all this. I think UGA has been phenomenal!!!
GO DAWGS!!!!!

negan, you don’t believe this bull that you are writing. Are you really that stupid? Absolutely nonsense and garbage.
Maybe one day you can write something on SDS that short and concise.
Your fellow Dawgs are laughing at you right now.
His fellow Dawgs don’t read his stuff. Always amazed that anyone does.
I always skip his comments.
Well there you go, something we can agree on, sort of.
I have trouble getting past the first paragraph. But I’m glad he’s one of you, together with corch and TDOW, perfect representatives of puppy nation

This is not the news we need.
Rivals is a woke site. They support cancel culture, BLM and Antifa
How woke and meta of them…
Here’s Wishing You a Full & Speedy Recovery Arian.
Torn meniscus, I guess looking at 6-8 weeks for recovery. Realistically, 2nd week in Sept at earliest, is when I think he’ll be back.
