Fans hoping for some potential reinforcements in the form of players that can rebound and defend got a bit of promising news on Tuesday. Ahead of his team’s game with West Virginia on Wednesday, Texas Tech basketball head coach Chris Beard revealed that true freshman forward Tyreek Smith had been cleared to participate in full practice activities after suffering a broken foot just prior to the start of the season.
“He’s been cleared to practice,” Beard said. “And today will be his second day of live contact.”
Yet to play this year, we might forget how good of a prospect Smith was when he arrived on campus.
