    I would say 6'5, maybe 6'6. He is incredibly athletic for a sophomore. He either needs to grow 2 inches or really work on his perimeter game and ball skills. I was really really impressed with his athleticism today!

    This isn't anything specifically regarding smith, this is an Edwardsville statistical issue. He is most likely averaging 6 boards and almost 5 assists per game, which is very solid!

    I've seen him live 3 times this year and probably 12 times in the last few years... he is an awesome high school player, will be a quality college payer, but his high school stat line isn't even close to accurate

    You can probably cut that assist number in half, Edwardsville is notorious for greatly inflating their rebound and assist numbers. At any rate, 21 points and 5 assists is still pretty darn good. I think he could definitely help the Illini in a few years.

    He had a nasty dunk at the City of Palms dunk contest. It popped up on my twitter feed this morning.

    I was told the same thing last weekend. There is an offer he still wants, from a certain midwestern Big 12 school. This could not have been the offer Tilmon was talking about in that video though,

    I would be very surprised if he commits anywhere before the high school basketball season begins.

    Those not close to Goodwin say he already has his mind made up and is heading to Champaign!!!

    1st hand knowledge for me, but I'm no expert. Tough to know exactly what is going on inside a 17 year olds head

    Not trying to argue, but that is inaccurate. Trust me, I'd love it to be 90%, but he is going to visit Texas and Michigan state to see what they have to offer. He is definitely favoring Illinois with Tilmon signing up, but those two visits could easily sway him. I'm open with him about my...

    I always seem to downplay their involvement but you are correct, Collins has been all over Jordan and I expect to see him in St. Louis this weekend.

    Goodwin is not already signed up. I'd now say ther is a 60% chance he commits to the Illini, which is higher than the 40% I gave before tilmon's commitment. Don't let tilmon's interview completely fool you, Goodwin is very much interested in Michigan State and Texas.
