A former standout from Dru Smith’s old school helped lead him to his new one.
Missouri landed one of the most sought-after transfers on the market Friday in Evansville guard Dru Smith, which already has fans looking ahead to the 2019-20 season, when the 6-foot-4 guard becomes eligible.
Smith chose the Tigers over Xavier and Virginia Tech after making an official visit to Columbia from Tuesday to Thursday.
“It was just a good time,” Smith said. “They seem very family-oriented. All the guys were close. The coaching staff was really nice to be around.”
