all great points...Michigan has gone all in regards to taking Olympic redshirts. 174 has opened up quite a bit, but make no mistake it doesn't guarantee Joe Smith makes a deep run. For Joe Smith to make a deep run the stars would literally have to align. That would include him being dead serious with his craft and training, which he hasn't over the past couple seasons. He also has to be healthy, which has been an issue especially with his knee. It'll be interesting if he can stay in shape, manage his weight for an entire year.
