When you put in the work there’s usually a lot of success to be had.l depending on how you look at it.
Arkansas-based trainer, Bart Reid, told me four years ago that there was an eighth grader tearing up the junior high and summer league circuits. In his own words,
“Nick Smith will be the best player in the country. He could be the best player to ever come through the state.”
Call it fortune telling, prophesy or knowing his stuff. Reid was right and Smith is the best player in the country as a senior.
