UGA Football: Injury Report from Kirby Smart at SEC Media Days

Kirby said Branson Robinson is looking good:

“He looks really good. I won’t say he’s 100 percent cleared, but man, he looks great out there running, His weight is down, which I think is going to put less pressure on that injury and those knees. He looks good running around out there. I’ve been really pleased with the way he’s looked. I don’t know if he’ll be 100 percent at the start of camp, but I feel like he’ll be close.”

Kirby said that Malaki Starks is participating in daily activities and that he wasn’t even thinking of Starks as an injury guy:

“Malaki’s great, typical surgery, shoulder surgery we have, labrum repair. He’s been on schedule. He actually did some things in spring practice non-contact. I wasn’t even thinking of him as an injury guy,”

Kirby said he thinks Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins will be ready to go by fall camp:

“Ty Ingram-Dawkins is battling to come back. He had a significant foot injury that we think he’ll be good to go by camp. But it’s something that you have to be really smart about the load and the amount of work you put on it. Smael’s still battling back. I don’t know if he’ll be cleared for fall camp or not. He should be close.”

He wasn’t so sure about Smael Mondon being ready for fall camp.

He also confirmed that offensive lineman Kelton Smith has taken a medical disqualification.

UGA Football: Kirby Smart Gives High Praise to KJ Bolden

Says he’s ahead of where Malaki Starks was at the same point:

“I think KJ Bolden has a chance to really help us out,” Smart said. “He’s athletic, he’s intelligent, he comes from a really good high school program. He got 15 practices in the spring and he approaches every practice like a veteran. Like where he is right now is probably ahead of probably where Malaki (Starks) was at that time and Malaki was able play as a freshman. I’m excited about what KJ is gonna do.”

UGA Football: Kirby Smart Talks About the Off the Field Driving Issues at SEC Media Days

The head coach of the top program in the country is obviously disappointed in the incidents that have taken place, but they haven’t happened due to lack of trying to help and guide the players:

“I always talk about process and outcomes. I talk about that in wins and losses, that we try not to base things on the outcomes in wins and losses. In this situation, the outcomes are very disappointing. Our process and the things we’ve put in place, I feel very strongly about,” Smart said. “We do as much or more education than anybody in the country. We have discipline in the form of suspensions and we will continue to do so. We’ll have suspensions coming out of some of these. We had them last year with the Marcus Rosemy situation. We’ve also had to let guys go based on them.”

Most of you have seen enough from Kirby Smart by now to know that he isn’t going to talk too much about suspensions and discipline:

“I don’t necessarily think it’s right to go down to the town square and publicly shame kids when that happens. They go through a lot, and there’s a lot of remorse from these young men who made mistakes,” Smart said. “Our job is to educate and continue to grow these young men.”

“Everybody wants to know what game and are they suspended. That’s probably not the most important thing in terms of the discipline and culture they’ve got to experience. As far as I know, there’s not one team that has ever suspended a player for a traffic violation. That’s what Marcus Rosemy got suspended for. I don’t know that anybody has kicked anybody off the team for that, and we have that,” he continued. “We’re going to continue to be proactive. It’s repeated behaviors that will get you dismissed. Repeated poor behaviors and poor decisions. In some cases we have repeated behaviors. In some cases, we have guys that make mistakes. We’re gonna punish them.”
