Here's an old piece on him fromhis freshman year (NBC Sports) Texas A&M forward Davonte Fitzgerald suffers season-ending knee injury Raphielle Johnson Feb 13, 2014, 4:21 PM EDT AP Freshman forward Davonte Fitzgerald has been one of the bright spots this season for Texas A&M, as he averaged 7.2 points and 2.2 rebounds in just under 16 minutes of action per contest. And on Wednesday in the Aggies’ win over LSU the Atlanta native got off to a hot start, scoring 11 points and grabbing three rebounds in nine minutes of the playing time. Unfortunately Fitzgerald suffered a knee injury late in the first half, and on Thursday the school announced that he will miss the remainder of the 2013-14 season as a result. In SEC play Fitzgerald averaged 8.6 points and 2.4 rebounds per game, with his best offensive performance being a 20-point outing in a loss at Mississippi State on January 18. Texas A&M has just one player, junior guard Jamal Jones (12.3 ppg), averaging double figures this season with six other members of the rotation averaging between 6.0 (Shawn Smith) and 9.8 (Kourtney Roberson) points per game. Without Fitzgerald in the fold Texas A&M will need to account for the resulting loss in offensive production as a group, with forward Antwan Space and guard Fabyon Harris (who averaged 12.0 ppg last season) among the options to provide assistance in this regard. After losing five straight SEC games Billy Kennedy’s team has won two of its last three, and they visit Vanderbilt on Saturday afternoon. Perhaps Pitino thinks he has some big upside and hopes a year of additional recovery from the knee issue and time to develop is what he needs. That said- this is an unusual pickup with Coffey's recruitment pending. Lot's of 6-6 to 6-7 guys coming in with Hurt, Gilbert, Murphy and now Fitzgerald. I have to think this just about eliminates talk of Lofton coming back.
