of Lithonia, GA. Smith attended USC’s Showcase camp in June but at that time declared Clemson as his leader. But since then USC has kept up the pressure on Smith who plans a return visit to Columbia Friday for the pool party.
“There’s just something that I like about South Carolina,” Smith said. “I like the new facilities and stuff that they have. I like Coach Ward and I like Coach Deke (Adams), and I love Coach Spurrier.”
With USC freshly branded as his leader and a trip to Columbia upcoming, time would seem right for a possible commitment from Smith. But he’s not ready to go that far just yet.
“They’re number one but I’m still trying to decide,” Smith said. “I’m going to be committing soon but I don’t know how soon. It’s like neck and neck (with Georgia). South Carolina has got that one up. At any given time Georgia could go one up, so it’s not that big of a lead. Clemson could, too and so could Florida.”
After USC on Smith’s list are Georgia, Clemson, Florida and Tennessee in order. He said the other four schools continue to recruit him hard but just not at the level of the Gamecocks right now, and that’s why they overcame the lead Clemson held in late June.
“I feel like South Carolina started recruiting me more and they started showing a lot more interest,” Smith said. “I’d love to play for an SEC team.”
Smith was at Georgia last Saturday night for Dawg Night and he doesn’t have any more visits planned after USC this weekend. He said his next visits will be his official visits. He said his head coach probably will come in with him on his visit to USC.
