It's rivalry week again, and we heard from both Rick Stansbury and Ole Miss coach Andy Kennedy on today's SEC coaches teleconference. Stansbury had some good news regarding freshman DeVille Smith.
Stansbury said Smith is back in school today, but he's not going to project when Smith might return to the team. MSU's backup point guard has been out for a little over two weeks after being hospitalized for headaches, dizziness and memory loss. It's the second such episode this season.
"Right now I'm not even concerned about the basketball part of it," Stansbury said. "That's not even a concern, when he'll play. I have no idea when that'll happen. We'll just have to wait and see."
Smith has missed the last four games, and MSU has felt the effects with its backcourt depth.
That's pretty much all Stansbury talked about, besides a question about Florida's Erik Murphy. But we'll have more from Stansbury this afternoon at his regular weekly press conference, and we'll chat with some players as well.
