Today's the day. Edwardsville senior Mark Smith is set to announce his college decision at 6 p.m. at Edwardsville High School (live on WDWS).
It's been a crazy recruitment for the 2017 News-Gazette All-State Player of the Year and Illinois Mr. Basketball winner. His first high major offer came in late December. By late March, perennial Big Ten contender Michigan State was in the picture. The next week saw Kentucky join in.
Now, Smith will choose his college basketball destination.
