Smith Will Take a Seat: Illinois junior guard Jamar Smith will miss the upcoming season to take care of legal and personal issues. He will maintain his two remaining years of eligibility by redshirting. Smith pleaded guilty to aggravated driving under the influence in May. In February, he and teammate Brian Carlwell consumed alcohol, and Smith then drove a car home and crashed on the way, leaving Carlwell in the hospital for four days with a severe concussion. Coach Bruce Weber said the time off will be best for Smith, who he hopes will be back with the team the following season. Smith averaged 8.1 points per game last season and was the Illini’s best three-point threat. [8/23/07]
