The red shirt reference, then, must be more related to academics than basketball readiness? Southern Miss and OU are solid basketball programs. Could be a game-changing addition.

Oklahoma's name automatically draws attention, but Southern Miss has been the class of Conference USA the past few years. If we are able to get this guy pointed in the right direction it could be HUGE for us. We won't be out much if he doesn't pan out, no one expected another 2014 recruit after classes already started.
Craig Smith is a boss

You don't go from OU to Souhern Miss to USD and think there's no issues!! There's a reason why this recruit is available in late August! Hope it works out but let's not get too excited just yet!

From his chat yesterday, Mick acknowledged that he has grade issues, but he implied that the need for the RS is more of an issue of his recently release/transfer from So. Miss., whom he had signed with for THIS season. There is a boat load of paper work to complete to get a waiver, and he said the coaches didn't completely close the door on it, but they were not optimistic at all.
At the end of the day, nobody legitimately believes that Craig is going to win it all this year. He needs time to get his players into the system and coach them up. On that note, it will be nice to have a guy with this type of talent on campus, improving his grades and practicing with the team for a full season in preparation for 2015-16.

The breath of fresh air for the basketball program is finally here. I do believe that Smith will make a serious impact this year. Lets hope these recruits turn out great and lets hope even more that Smith also turns out great and stays in Vermillion for awhile.

Lets hope these recruits turn out great and lets hope even more that Smith also turns out great and stays in Vermillion for awhile. I have absolutely no doubt that Smith is going to be great for us, I'm so excited for the Craig Smith era to tip off. It should seem that we have 8 new players on the roster, out of 16 players total. It's incredible that already half of the team is made up of Smith's recruits before even a single game has been played. I see that on the official roster notes for Edson Avila that he is not going to be playing this year after transferring from Southern Miss, and also Zack Dickerson will not be playing this year after transferring from Eastern Illinois (no surprise there). At any rate, with an entirely new coaching staff and half of the roster made up of new players it's very clear the Yotes are going to be looking much differently right away under Craig Smith. |
