My concern would be his conditioning. Whether we play small or not, this team is going to run and try to win with up tempo pace. With the hip surgery, his cardio may not be up to par. I remember last year when our freshmen were gassed early in the season, and they worked out hard the summer before.
I think I would prefer that we stop trying to put weight on Smith, and see if he can run. Long term he's going to have to put on muscle, no question, but for now, he may be well-suited to a run and gun style of play.
