Mark Smith will be announcing his college decision at 6 p.m. Wednesday at Edwardsville High School, per multiple reports Monday afternoon. Smith, the 2017 News-Gazette All-State Player of the Year and Illinois Mr. Basketball winner, was one of the fastest rising prospects in the 2017 class this past season.
Smith, who took an unofficial visit to Illinois last week and completed an official visit at Ohio State over the weekend, is mulling offers from multiple high major teams. Smith's recruitment hit the high major level in late December, and he's received 14 offers since.
Michigan State and Kentucky were the last of the high major programs to offer the 6-foot-5 guard.
