Hey, I'm on the road checking in on prospects in the St. Louis area and got the news about Keith Smith committing to San Diego State while checking out the Dayton/St. Louis college game.
Anyway, made it back to the hotel and wanted to stop by real quick.
Smith was put where he is in the rankings after a very impressive spring prior to injuring himself. He looked like a good sized wing (6-6, maybe 6-7) with a great frame and some explosion to him. Can rebound, plays well in transition and keeps defenders honest with his jumper.
He is also somebody that I feel I need to see more of to have a true evaluation on him. Lots has probably changed since coming back from injury and the jump from sophomore to junior is usually big for most prospects. Hope to have some updated game film on him soon and at worst I should be seeing him again by the first live period in April.
Based on everything I know up until now, this looks like a really nice score for the Aztecs and I'm sure they are happy to have gotten him done before everybody else jumped in after April.
