PITTSBURGH -- Pitt head men's basketball coach Jamie Dixon announced today that two players successfully underwent recent surgeries: senior guard James Robinson (right foot) and graduate transfer guard Sterling Smith (right ankle).
Robinson is expected to use the next 12 weeks to rehabilitate, while Smith's recovery is expected to be six weeks.
It is anticipated that both players will be ready for action when practice opens in October.

Wonder if Robinson's foot problem adversely impacted his play last season?

Thanks for the info TP. They have it on the official site but I woulda missed it.

So, neither player will be at the pro-am. Doesn't look like there are gonna be many players there at all.

I sure as heck hope these guys all come back healthy.

Cam, newkirk, Smith and Robinson...no assurances surgeries will work 100%.

No-this was a recent development.

Were details about Cam Johnson's shoulder surgery ever released? Rotator cuff, labrum, other?

Did we know Smith had a bad ankle when we offered him?

It's like the bum-wheel backcourt. Plenty of questions in the backcourt to be answered this season. I hope every one of them has a good recovery and rehab.

Yeah, tell me about it. To the surgeries on Robinson, Smith, Cam Johnson and Newkirk, throw in Newkirk's abysmal season last year and the fact that Wilson will be just a freshman.

The only other player that is on scholly and sometimes plays guard is Jones.

So, we will just have to see how things turn out when the time comes.
