I'm watching Edwardsville vs Althoff. All I can
Say about Smith is, *wow* If we don't offer him then we
have blinders on. This kid is borderline 5* in my humble opinion...
We were calling that swag, when we thought he was coming here.
What year was that again??
The next kid is always the best kid and gunna save the program. Illini fans are uncanny sometimes.
DMac was an extremely gifted offensive player. We throw that comparison around too easily. He'd be a legend here if he had gotten any help.

I see what your saying but Smith passes the eye test. For those that have IHSA and Illini U BB for 30 plus years you know who is special. Kid has transferable skills and size to the college game. Besides the eye test he has many tools (hits open shot, creates own shot, create shots for others, defends, and rebounds).
It's not just Smith it's a disease with us as fans and yes I'm just as guilty as the next guy. The grass is always greener on the other side and it rarely is.
I hope in a few years I'm eating some crow but our rose color glasses are consistently overly rosy imo.
Mark Smith just dunked on a Athloff player ala Derrick Rose in CPL championship!!! Yeah I'm not sure we should offer though.
If they don't offer Smith after tonight I don't know what they want in a recruit. This kid would be a gift!
I am 100% certain he is getting an offer. By end of weekend.
Smith 29 and 8 assists
Goodwin 33 and 14 boards
2 great, great players going at it.
