[QUOTE="Second and Chalmers, post: 1310564, member: 527609"] Aha! That nugget was not in the other article. Because, Smith ditching Mizzou baseball for Illinois (and MSU and UK) basketball makes sense. Ditching Mizzou baseball for NIU, SIU-E, and Wright State basketball did not, and that's what was happening circa-last fall. That "opting out" does not coincide with Smith's injury, or his HS baseball season, or the resignation of Mizzou's old coach. It's Mizzou's new coach getting a look at a post-injury Smith, seeing his velocity hasn't recovered, and moving on. Smith didn't quit baseball, baseball quit Smith. Lucky us, and very possibly lucky him. [/QUOTE]
