Early in his sophomore year, NBA draft hopeful and former University of Miami guard Davon Reed was at a crossroads.
After injuring his knee, doctors said he would be out until late January, maybe even early February, meaning the year was over for him. During a somber meeting, Miami head coach Jim Larrañaga sat down with Reed and his mother and told them that if he didn’t get back in time, he would have to redshirt (take a break year from athletics).
