MANNY BATES TO REDSHIRT IN 2018-19 SEASON
Freshman Manny Bates will redshirt the 2018-19 season after undergoing shoulder surgery earlier this month. Bates dislocated his left shoulder at the beginning of August.
"Obviously this is not how any of us wanted Manny's college career to begin," Keatts said. "But Manny has a positive outlook on the situation and I know he will work hard to rehabilitate his shoulder."Â
