[QUOTE="RickBB, post: 1371356, member: 244628"] I'm hopeful for Mark Smith's potential as much as anyone, but from what I can find on the internet, his baseball career had been derailed pretty much his entire last 2 years of high school. He verballed to Mizzou as junior before he had even played in a varsity baseball game. Now, according to Perfect Game's website, he was throwing 87-91...and if an SEC school offers any kid, I don't begrudge them from committing, I'd do the same. I have hopes the Smith will be a great player for Illinois, but I simply bring this up because I think it's disingenuous to keep acting like basketball was a secondary sport. He's said "My favorite sport was whatever season it was." [/QUOTE]
