I'd love to have Smith, but I trust the staff on this one. Our need for post players is immediate. Leron and Finke will be Juniors next year. If Tilmon leaves after his freshman or sophomore year, we'd have no bigs in 19/20 barring transfers or young recruits.
Getting Smith doesn't mean we can't still get a big... We were pursuing Goodwin with that scholarship previously.
Another scholarship is open for a center but IMO it's doubtful you get another center before the class that follows Tilmon.
