"This is disappointing because I've been working hard this spring and summer in workouts getting my body stronger," he said. "Hopefully I'll be able to recover quickly and be back at full strength by the time Pac-10 play starts."

I just want to say good luck to Keefe on the surgery and hurry back.  He seemed to be improving both his game and his physique over the summer.  Sucks to see this happen to a kid with such potential.  Hopefully he makes it back for the PAC-10 season and doesn't fall behind and lose his spot.

So what do you guys think this means?  Is this a huge loss, a minor loss, should he red shirt and come back next year or hop in midseason and maybe be a bit fresher at the end of the season?  Maybe we can get our injuries out of the way before the season starts and be healthy as it goes on. (knocks on wood).  Doubtful though.
