On June 14th, the day before college coaches can begin to talk to high school recruits between their sophomore and junior season, Ben Roberts of the Herald-Leader caught up with Smith to discuss where he’s gotten offers from and who he would like to hear from.
“Everybody wants to hear from the blue bloods,” Smith told Roberts. “Duke, Kentucky, Kansas — all those big programs known for winning.”
Joel Justus went to watch Smith play for the undefeated U16 USA team in the FIBA Americas Championship in Brazil. Smith averaged 13.8 points and 6.2 rebounds per game all while going 7 of 19 from three.
